• Resumen

  • Rutkin details a device that scans the fingerprints of infants which could help manage children's healthcare. Taking fingerprints from very young children--even newborns--is part of a drive in developing countries to monitor the health of infants, who often lack other forms of identification. A biometric system, such as a national fingerprint database, could allow clinicians to match a child with their vaccine schedule or help workers keep records of welfare services, says Anil Jain at Michigan State University.
