Titanium Group Announces Biometric Contract with One of the Most Active Clinics in Hong Kong
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Titanium Group, Ltd, a leading biometric and security solutions provider announced today it has signed a contract with Hong Kong Polytechnic University Clinic for the installation of a biometric pharmacy system powered by Titanium’s Biometric Facial Recognition technology. In this newly designed application, all patients, together with their corresponding medical histories, are registered into the system. After each visit, the patients would then be required to verify their identities before collecting their medication, ensuring that everyone will be taking the correct drugs prescribed by the physicians.
“Given there have been cases in other clinics where patients took the wrong drug leading to very serious problems, this system is designed specifically for the clinic to avoid any potential occurrence of such a nature, and thus liability, for the clinic. This use of Titanium’s Biometric Facial Recognition technologies is a ground-breaking application of our products and we are excited to see our technologies working effectively, now in the healthcare industry. This is a very large and growing sector which is full of market potential for our products in the region,” said Billy Tang, COO of Titanium Group Ltd.
The Clinic provides primary health care services, nursing practices, dispensary and laboratory services, health education and promotion, and TCM service. Over 20,000 full time students, staff and their dependents, as well as retirees on the campus of approximately 93,500 square meters are covered by this service.
