LiveScan Service Provider Binary Biometrics First to Offer One-Stop Inter-State Background Screening Service Designed for Applicants Requiring Multiple Licenses

MELBOURNE, Fla., June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Binary Biometrics, an FBI and Florida Department of Law Enforcement approved LiveScan service provider and a leading provider of background screenings for licensed professionals is now offering a service designed to ease the burden of compliance for applicants who require licensing and background screening in multiple states. Professionals who may benefit from the new service include, but are not limited to, money transmitters, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, healthcare workers, and financial advisors. The procedure works by scanning and then reprinting one electronic fingerprint record or a scanned original hard card record and then transmitting those reprints via registered post to the appropriate agency.

This process of scanning of the original hard card and reprinting on to additional cards employs advanced, FBI certified scanning technology to convert a traditional US fingerprint card (FD-258) into an electronic fingerprint record. This electronic scan is also known as LiveScan.

Once in the system, the company's state of the art laser printers reproduce exact copies of those same fingerprint records on as many additional hard cards as the user requests. These copies may be used by an applicant for most background screenings in other jurisdictions and for different regulatory agencies.

"This new service is particularly convenient for compliance officers, mortgage brokers, real estate agents, and any professional who needs to become licensed in multiple states and does not wish to travel to each state to complete an in person LiveScan or have to wait at a police station for every new state license or screening, get their prints rolled, and mail to each individual agency with the hopes that the records are not rejected for quality. We can save companies and compliance officers from wasting a lot of money, time, and avoid unnecessary headaches with this new process. I'm really excited to see this take off!" says James Timothy White, CEO.

Unisys Delivers New Basic Provision Biometrics Solution to Dutch Custodial Institutions Service

BLUE BELL, Pa., July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys Corporation's (NYSE: UIS) subsidiary in The Netherlands, Unisys Nederland N.V., today announced that it has been selected by the Dutch Custodial Institutions Service (DJI) to deliver, implement and manage a new Basic Provision Biometrics solution for penitentiaries across The Netherlands.

Unisys won the contract with a solution based on its open standards-based LEIDA platform for identity management software. The term of the contract is up to seven years, with the new system expected to go live at the end of 2014.

The Unisys solution replaces DJI's existing Basic Provision Biometrics, and will better integrate with the agency's new IT architecture, improve user experience, increase the speed of operation and lower its cost. 

The Basic Provision Biometrics program uses biometric data such as fingerprints to verify detainees' identities during their time in custody. The program went live in 2008 so that penitentiaries, National Police, judiciary and probation services across The Netherlands could rely on technology to manage detainees' biometric data and maintain accurate records.

"Identity verification within penitentiaries should be a foolproof system," said A.L.C. Roelofs, deputy director of DJI. "To achieve this goal we are always looking for the best solutions to fit within our new information architecture."

DJI is responsible for approximately 12,000 prison cells in The Netherlands. Every year, each cell can hold four or five different occupants as detainees are moved between institutions, and as those who have served their sentences depart and new individuals arrive. The biometric data for approximately 25,000 persons is recorded in the database of the judicial service establishments every year.[1]

"Unisys brings to DJI years of global experience, gained from delivering some of the most significant biometric passport and ID schemes in the world," said Jim Vlaming, public safety and justice business lead at Unisys Nederland N.V. "In particular, our work with ITER, the international fusion project in the south of France, demonstrated that we have the technology and the knowledge to develop solutions that put people at the heart of the project."

Unisys has a record of successfully delivering biometrics solutions to reduce fraud and improve public services. These include projects with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (Passports Division Section) and the Mexican Ministry of Internal Affairs and National Citizen Registry.

ZIO ® service identifies arrhythmias significantly more than the traditional Holter Monitor, according to study published online in the American Journal of medicine

SAN FRANCISCO, 02 January 2014/PRNewswire /-iRhythm Technologies, a company of services of health information, today announced that a prospective study from the Scripps Translational Science Institute (STSI) has found that the use of the service of the company ZIO significantly increased detection of cardiac arrhythmias, compared to the use of the traditional Holter monitor. Findings, published and made publicly accessible online in the January issue of the American Journal of Medicine, underscore the role of the service ZIO, ZIO, patented algorithms patch and ZIO review, as the new standard for the ambulatory monitoring of patients with suspected arrhythmia.

"This is the first large prospective validation that this new technology passed the device invented by Norman Holter in 1949," said the lead author of the study, Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist who directs STSI and serves as the academic director of Scripps Health. "By tracking every beat of the heart up to two weeks, ZIO service proved to be significantly more sensitive than the Holter standard, it uses multiple threads and it is normally only used or tolerated during 24 hours.

"For" millions of people who presented each year with suspected arrhythmia, this could to be the new standard for the capture of the electric guilty heart rhythm disturbance, most commonly atrial fibrillation that carries a significant risk of race, he said.

The prospective study included 146 consecutive patients of Scripps Health who were referred for evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias and underwent an outpatient monitoring simultaneous ECG with ZIO patch, a patch on the chest, which continuously monitor the heartbeat records up to 14 days and a conventional 24-hour Holter, a portable machine with multiple cables that connect to the electrodes on the chest. Total wear of both devices, the service of ZIO time detected events of arrhythmia 57% more in comparison with the Holter monitor (96 against 61), mainly due to the prolonged monitoring. The doctors also reported that they reached a definitive diagnosis in 90% of cases using the ZIO service, compared with 64% with the Holter monitor. In addition, 81% of the patients reported that they preferred the ZIO patch versus the Holter monitor.

"The traditional options of monitoring heart are limited in their ability to capture the arrhythmias, which are rare and often do not have symptoms, and because they are difficult for patients to comply", said Kevin King, President and Chief Executive Officer of iRhythm. "These studies findings underscore that the ZIO service is setting a new standard for the diagnosis of arrhythmia, with a focus continuous monitoring proven, long-term which allows doctors to rule in and rule out arrhythmias before in the way of diagnosis and change the treatment of the patients."

Each year, millions of patients presenting with low common and non-specific symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and shortness of breath, which may or may not be caused by cardiac arrhythmias. Reports estimate that the three most common types of arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF), bradycardia and ventricular tachycardia - affect approximately 8 million people in the United States each year. If it is not correctly, arrhythmias can lead to serious complications such as stroke. Effective management of cardiac arrhythmia is specific to the identified type of arrhythmia. Arrhythmias, however, are often difficult to diagnose using techniques of monitoring current, that they are limited in what you can record or it can be difficult for patients to use or tolerate.
