Biometric Authentication and Identification (BAID)

In order to meet the US Army’s need for a biometric access management system for medical personnel on Android-based platforms, ChromoLogic (CL) proposes to develop a Biometric Authentication and Identification (“BAID”) system. The BAID Android app will be installed on the Army’s Nett Warrior devices for medics to use as an access management tool which functions without requiring network access for use with apps including the eTCCC app. Additionally, the system enables patient identification, providing Nett Warrior device apps with a biometric ID to link eTCCC electronic cards and patient information throughout the continuum of care. BAID’s compact hardware for collecting biometrics will be stored conveniently with the Nett Warrior platform. In Phase I, CL will develop the system design, show and test a proof of concept of system hardware and software architecture for the access management and patient identification capabilities of the BAID system. The Phase II development effort will develop a ruggedized prototype and a 2nd generation software app with access management capability for use with the eTCCC app and other android applications.
