That is awesome tool; there are hospitals have already using the Palm Scan.
ORMC here in Orlando introduced that last year. It took less than three months for the hardware and software to crash and they stopped using it.
Can't you just hear it now? The shrill left shreaking "racism" at the thought of a palm scan.
If the technology works, it should be installed at every single polling place in the country.
And in other news, insurance premiums rise unexpectedly 75%...
Why waste billions when we all know that the human Computer chip is here,,haha
With out this chip,You can't buy or sell or even get medical care.You be consider a out cast.Big Brother wants to know where you are and what you doing, every day of your life..
Can see it coming, just a matter of time.
Doesn't Steve Jobs already do this with his i-products?
Coming soon, the iPalm identification system!
The clinic that I go to has this; not once has it successfully recognized my palm....
Like the government won't demand the databases and use the information for their own purposes.
1) We are all one of the masses of minions. Why should you think you are any more worthy of being tracked by the government than anybody else?
2) They already have all the information they need on us. If you're that afraid, I am surpprised you're even on "the grid!"
Sorry but not interested. I would prefer to fight any misuse of my personal information in court than provide my palm or fingerprints to agencies that do not need them. My bank, hospital, and two local government agencies have been laughed at and refused because they do not need my fingerprint, however if I am ever suspected of a crime I will be more than happy to provide the print to law enforcement.
Why would your own bank require your thumbprint? Banks that ask for thumprints get them from non customers cashing checks and that's so they have something to use to prosecute somebody if the check turns out to be fraud. It's called the Thumbprint Signature Program. Was it actually YOUR bank or a bank you tried to cash a check at but weren't a customer?
It sounds impressive, but most of the time the mistakes made in hospital ers have nothing to do with the technology present (or not present), rather it has to do with the staff having to use it. Most of our health care personnel staffing er rooms, are stretched to the breaking point. Recently, I had 6 separate er visits, same hospital within a matter of 3 months, all relating in one way or another to the same problem. My diagnosis kept changing, then going back to the original (based on who saw what). I was given rxds that previous physicians said I should not take. If my husband had not been there going back ad forth abd constantly and actively monitoring what I was being given, done to etc... I don't know.. it would not have been pretty for me.
Don't get me wrong, technology in its place is great, bu its the people that make it or break it. And as another person commented, what happens when it breaks and we don't have any other backup left but human intervention! We need to take a serious in depth look from all sides, health care in this country is great, but its costly... in money and lives.
Advocate for yourself when it comes to your health! Take an active stand!
