What?

Use cases

Health professionals use computers for short periods of time, moving from place to place and signing on at multiple workstations. They agree to make some effort to unlock a computer, but no one is ready to lock it. At the same time, employees aren’t ready to put up with a short timeout on locking a computer. The problem forces them to spend a lot of time unlocking computers. Bluetooth proximity from Hideez technology basement provides a means to solve the mentioned problems making the lock/unlock process completely transparent. The solution enables fast and transparent hands-free authentication as well as a secure system if a health worker leaves the proximity zone. In this way, Hideez saves time, increases productivity and makes it possible to concentrate more on professional activities.  

How can you access the right workstation in the same working area with wireless technology in a fast way? Hideez manages proximity-level starting from a few centimeters. Also, Hideez uses RFID as an extra factor of identification to guarantee that a user gets access to the right computer. 

How can you manage multiple users on the same computer and guarantee that the user who unlocked a computer and the user who is signing the transaction are the same person? The case is common for pharmacies where there is a high probability of conflicts between users on the same computer. Hideez provides an API that allows you to check the authenticity of the user by engaging software before signing the transaction. 

Hideez makes it possible to implement completely hands-free authentication processes and is suitable for use in working areas where strict infection controls are in place (HAI).   

How can you minimize the number of fobs on your keyring? With Hideez you have a single device for both logical access to systems and physical access to the working area.

Testimonials

In the course of daily routine, the clinicians access several applications and websites via PCs in patient rooms. Maintaining HIPAA compliance and accessing McKesson Paragon, Horizon Medical Imaging, vendor, and government sites became a challenge. To improve clinician’s productivity, we have introduced Hideez Enterprise Server and password management solution.

Doctors and nurses sign in automatically to approved applications, such as Physician Web. The clinicians can do this in one step. Accessing patient data and handling charting at the bedside became easier. Leaving alone productivity, it leads to better patient care. We have implemented rigorous password policies, password expiration, and even randomly generated passwords. To do this without impacting user convenience is a huge bonus.
