About

In psychogeriatric units, where patients suffer from dementia, cognitive impairment, or chronic mental disorders, identification errors can compromise safety—especially during medication administration. Traditional wristbands are often misplaced or hard to read, increasing the risk of human error. How can we ensure the right patient receives the right care at the right time?

The Solution: Biometric Identification

CHV is looking to partner with innovative start-ups to implement a biometric identification system that will:
Guarantee accurate patient identification using facial recognition or other biometrics
Enhance patient safety by minimizing human errors
Optimize healthcare workflows, making life easier for nurses and doctors
Improve treatment adherence and therapeutic outcomes
Reduce adverse events related to medication errors

Why This Matters

The digital transformation of healthcare is happening now. Integrating AI-driven, biometric solutions into daily medical practices is not just an upgrade—it’s a game-changer. Start-ups specializing in biometric tech, AI, digital health, and MedTech solutions have a unique opportunity to pilot their innovations in a real-world hospital setting.
