Research Methodology
Biometrics Research Group, Inc. uses a combination of primary and secondary research methodologies to compile the necessary information for its research projections.
The conclusions drawn are based on our best judgment of exhibited trends, the expected direction the industry
may follow, and consideration of a host of industry drivers, restraints, and challenges that represent the possibility for such trends to occur over a specific time frame. All supporting analyses and data are provided to the best
of ability.
Primary Research
Biometrics Research Group, Inc. conducts interviews with technology providers, clients, and other organizations,
as well as stakeholders in each of the technology segments, standards organizations, privacy commissions, and
other influential agencies. To provide balance to these interviews, industry thought leaders who track the implementation of the biometric technologies are also interviewed to get their perspective on the issues of market
acceptance and future direction of the industry.
Biometrics Research Group, Inc. also applies its own proprietary micro- and macroeconomic modeling using a
regression analysis methodology to determine the size of biometric and related-industry marketplaces. Using
databases of both publicly and privately-available financial data, Biometrics Research Group works to project
market size and market potential, in the context of the global economic marketplace, using proven econometric
models.
Secondary Research
Biometrics Research Group, Inc. also draws upon secondary research which includes published sources such as
those from government bodies, think tanks, industry associations, internet sources, and Biometrics Research
Group, Inc.s own repository of news items. This information was used to enrich and externalize the primary
data. Data sources are cited where applicable.
Introduction
Biometrics for the health care industry primarily
refers to staff authentication and patient identification
solutions. Most often, biometrics are used in
combination with passwords or smart identification
cards to secure access to sensitive patient records
and to assist with patient registration requirements.
Biometrics Research Group, Inc. estimates that the
entire global marketplace for biometric solutions in
the health care market will reach approximately US$5
billion by 2020. Biometric use will reflect the growing
demand for health care fraud prevention in the United
States, along with the need to improve patient privacy
and health care safety.
1. Health care in the United States
Health care is one of the most important expenditure
categories within the U.S. economy. According to
the World Health Organization (WHO), total health
care spending in the U.S. was 17.9 percent of its gross
domestic product (GDP) in 2011, the highest in the
world. The Health and Human Services Department
expects that the health share of GDP will continue its
historical upward trend, reaching 19.5 percent of GDP
by 2017.
In 2013, U.S. health care spending reached US$2.9
trillion, or US$9,255 per person and generated
billions of claims from millions of health care service
and product providers. Medicare alone represents
47 million beneficiaries, which pays over 4.4 million
claims each working day through 1.5 million
providers.
Summary
Since inefficiency and fraud are overriding
administrative concerns for health care systems,
especially in the United States, we can expect
increased investment in health care security
protocols that involve biometrics. Adoption of
