[New Product] CertaScan: Digital Footprint Solution for Newborn Safety
CertaScan Technology for Baby Identification
CertaScan is a modern digital solution specifically designed to enhance the safety of newborns in hospitals. Using precise footprint scanning technology, CertaScan enables the quick, hygienic, and secure capture and storage of infant biometric data.
CertaScan provides hospitals with a patented digital system to identify newborns through advanced footprint scanning. Footprints taken at birth are a recognized and reliable method to uniquely identify each infant, and they can even be used for forensic purposes throughout the child’s lifetime.
Based on years of experience in maternity care and guided by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), CertaScan has created a new “Gold Standard” process for infant identification that is practical and easy to implement in hospitals. This Infant Security System not only allows digital recording and storage of newborn footprints but also includes options for adding infant security photographs and the mother’s index fingerprint.
With CertaScan, hospitals can utilize newborn footprints for their original purpose—infant identification—while also integrating these biometric records into Electronic Medical Records (EMR).
Why Are Newborn Footprints Important?
Newborn footprinting is considered the safest and most effective biometric method for neonatal identification because:
- Unique Biometric Identity – Authentic data that remains unchanged for life.
- Prevents Baby Switching – Acts as an additional security safeguard alongside ID bands.
- Birth Certificate Documentation – Serves as authentic evidence for civil registration.
- Alternative to Fingerprints – Newborn hands are too small, often clenched, and forcing them open may cause injury.
Benefits of CertaScan for Hospitals
- Enhances ID Band Security – Provides an additional protection layer in maternity wards.
- Accurate Identification in Special Cases – Faster and more cost-effective than DNA testing.
- Strengthens Hospital Credibility – Complies with NCMEC’s Infant Security Guidelines and patient identification standards.
- EMR Integration – Secure storage of biometric data within electronic medical records.
- Fast, Accurate, and Ink-Free – Replaces messy ink methods that easily fade.
- Reduces Insurance Fraud & Legal Risk – Prevents false claims and misidentification lawsuits.
- Authentic Infant Identity Proof – Valid for both medical and legal purposes
Advantages of Footprint Scanning
- Stable for a Lifetime – Like fingerprints, footprints remain consistent throughout life.
- Safer than Fingerprints – Avoids risks of injuring infants when forcing open clenched hands.
- More Reliable than Iris Scans – Infants often close their eyes, and iris patterns change until around age two.
Conclusion
With the slogan “We keep babies safer, one foot at a time”, CertaScan brings internationally recognized infant identification technology to hospitals. This solution not only provides peace of mind to parents but also boosts hospital credibility, strengthens patient safety, and reduces legal risks.
