Ear biometrics for patient identification in global health: a field study to test the effectiveness of an image stabilization device in improving identification accuracy

Background In many low and middle-income countries (LMICs), difficulties in patient identification are a major obstacle to the delivery of longitudinal care. In absence of unique identifiers, biometrics have emerged as an attractive solution to the identification problem. We developed an mHealth App...
