Telebiometrics
Hardware
Each person contains unique biological features and habits,
information obtained from the body is difficult to steal or
replicate.
Telebiometrics enables a reliable from of identification and can
provide a more robust fraud and identity theft protection than
other methods.

The Role of Telebiometrics in Managing the Aftermath of a
Radiation Incident
After an ionizing radiation incident and the ensued confusion Telebiometrics technology may be used to
significantly expedite the management of the crisis, optimizing the use of scarce resources. Diagram 1,
below, offers a qualitative process flow for a small-scale radiation event.
Time and an error-free intervention are of essence in radiation incidents. Telebiometrics may be
employed during phases 2, 3 and 4, shown below, to help identify the individual, associate the
measured radiation contamination with a unique ID, and assist authorities to match the appropriate
treatment to the individual. For example, Telebiometrics’ feature can work in concert with utilizing the
primary principles of radiation safety, i.e., time/distance/shielding, in phase 2 and the ensued medical
care to the appropriate individual in phases 3 and 4.
In addition to the multimodal biometrics systems, gathering data from different sensors and contexts,
the radiation dosimetry data, acquired in phase 3, may be used by a medical practitioner for short- and
a long-term follow-up of the exposed individuals. Further, following the standard for Quantities and Units
set by ITU-T Study Group 17, the anonymized data from different sites may be combined to improve
statistical analysis and share imaging data via telemedicine. Data mining of the collected meta-data
may be used to accurately correlate biological reaction under different scales of a radiation incident.
