Application of biometric technologies in biomedical systems

This paper represents a survey of the existing approaches to deploy biometric technologies in biomedical and health care applications. It also shows recent examples and pilot projects being implemented by the authors, experimenting with new sensors of biometric data and new uses of human behavioral biometrics, besides the application to security in physical access systems. It also shows the new and promising horizons of using biometrics in natural and contactless control interfaces for surgical control, rehabilitation and accessibility applications.
