Palm Scanning Tech Explained: Everything You Need to Know
Your palm holds more than you think.
Beneath the surface lies a complex, unique pattern of veins—now powering the next generation of identity authentication and payments.
At BioWavePass, we develop cutting-edge Palm Vein Recognition Technology that captures both surface palm prints and subdermal vein data for precision-grade verification.
🖐 What Is Palm Scanning?
Palm scanning is a biometric method that verifies identity by capturing the internal vascular map of your palm using near-infrared (IR) and RGB sensors.
This internal map is then encrypted into a digital biometric signature, making it:
- Impossible to copy or lift like fingerprints
- Resistant to surface damage or manipulation
- Perfectly suited for contactless, privacy-first environments
🔬 How It Works: Dual Imaging = High Trust
Every BioWavePass device captures two types of biometric data in real time:
- RGB Sensor captures palm surface features (texture, ridges, creases)
- IR Sensor captures deep vein patterns invisible to the human eye
- AI engine extracts both features and fuses them into a biometric vector
- Identity is confirmed only when both layers match
This multi-modal matching reduces false acceptance to just 1 in 100 billion (1e-11) — ideal for high-security use cases.
🧠 Where Palm Scanning Is Already Changing the Game
- 💳 Palm-Based Payments in transit, retail, or banking
- 🏥 Patient ID & Hospital Entry
- 🚪 Secure Access Control in corporate/government buildings
- 🧾 eKYC & National ID Systems
- 🧑💼 Time Attendance & Workforce Identity
Palm scanning is fast, frictionless, and independent of external appearance, which makes it inclusive for all age groups and skin tones.
