![]() ![]() The MySafe Project vending machine looks similar to an ATM and is stocked with specific doses of hydromorphone prescribed to individual users.įor maximum security, the machine weighs 800 pounds and is bolted to the floor. ![]() “Fujitsu’s contactless vascular biometric authentication technology was chosen as the most effective, low barrier access control system for the VID because of its ease of use and accuracy, and in interest of public hygiene,” Yantha said. Analyst group Frost & Sullivan has awarded Fujitsu PalmSecure authentication the best practices in biometrics healthcare identity management technology innovation. Additionally, Fujitsu PalmSecure is EPCS Compliant, which is a certification standard set by the American Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) for electronic prescriptions of controlled substances (EPCS). Fujitsu PalmSecure technology has a FAR of below 0.00001 percent and an FRR of 0.01 percent, several notches higher than existing solutions available in the market. PalmSecure technology generates extremely low false acceptance rates (FAR) and false reject rates (FRR) at a price point that is similar to existing fingerprint scanners. Palm vein authentication is a contactless, hygienic form of biometric security that is easy to use and is more accurate than fingerprint and facial authentication. That is why the company decided on Fujitsu PalmSecure, the most secure, accurate, and reliable identity authentication method for serving all industries.įujitsu PalmSecure Biometric Authenticationįujitsu’s PalmSecure biometric authentication technology reads the palm vein patterns hidden under the skin to accurately identify and verify individuals. It uses biometric technology which allows it to verify the identity of a registered user with unmatched precision,” Yantha said.ĭue to the nature of products being stored in its machines, security and accuracy were top priorities for Dispension when choosing a biometric authentication technology. “The VID is comparable to an ATM, only it dispenses regulated products instead of cash. With industry-leading software, biometrics and hardware, Dispension’s VID technology provides a frictionless experience for users. The modular design allows for deployment in locations with limited space. ![]() Biometric authentication enables accurate verification of users’ identity before providing them access to regulated products stored safely inside. The VID is a secure, fully integrated retail platform for safe distribution of regulated products. The VID provides hydromorphone pills to registered users who are at the highest risk of overdose in the Downtown Eastside.ĭispension Industries Verified Identity Dispenser (VID) System The VID features Fujitsu’s PalmSecure biometric authentication system and proprietary integration software developed in partnership with ePortID. ![]() The solution is now being piloted in Vancouver using Dispension’s Verified Identity Dispenser (VID) system. Dispension Industries was already working on vending machines that would distribute legal cannabis, so they used that knowledge to help Tyndall create the MySafe Project, the world’s first biometric opioid vending machine. That is until he got a call from Dispension Industries President and Founder Corey Yantha, who had caught wind of Tyndall’s idea. Tyndall, a professor at University of British Columbia’s School of Population and Public Health, and the former director of the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, had an idea to offer prescribed doses of heroin-alternative hydromorphone to addicts through vending machines. Mark Tyndall’s plan to offer safe opioids to people with addictions in Downtown Eastside. In 2017, more than 300 overdose deaths occurred in Downtown Eastside, the epicenter of Vancouver’s opioid crisis. Overdoses have killed 5,000 people in British Columbia since 2015. In Vancouver, British Columbia, the supply of illicit street drugs has become poisoned with potent synthetic opioid drugs. The MySafe Project vending machine with palm vein biometric authentication has been deployed in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside area to help fight the city’s overdose crisis. ![]()
