<Li> M2SYS Technology has deployed their RightPatient TM biometric patient identification system using iris recognition at 11 Novant Health hospitals in the Charlotte and Winston - Salem markets . The RightPatient TM iris biometric patient identification system is designed to capture both the face and the iris pattern of patients and uniquely link them to their electronic medical record . </Li> <Li> In March 2015, India's Andhra Pradesh state has launched an iris - based identity management solution developed by IriTech for enhancing pension distribution system . The Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu demonstrated IriShield USB MK2120U device during a launching event of Andhra Pradesh state's iris scanning facility for pension distribution . "The state's decision to use iris technology as a primary method to issue Aadhaar verified DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) will address concerns of total inclusiveness of its residence as well as providing a more accurate and a hygiene solution," says Binod E. Mathai, Director of Biometronic Technology . </Li> <Li> On May 28, 2015, Fujitsu released ARROWS NX F - 04G the first smartphone with iris scanner . </Li> <Li> On mid 2015, the Kenya Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in order to provide an accurate attendance tracking for all students in classes (roll - call) or school buses (getting on / off tracking) has implemented iris biometric system . The solution includes IriTech's IriShield camera connecting to a low cost Android phone or tablet via USB cable . Iris matching is done on - board of IriShield whose internal gallery can hold up to 500 identities (expandable to 5,000 identities) which is more than enough for most of the schools . The local matching capability is a particular advantage in the school - bus scenario because it does not require wireless / 3G communication between the biometric terminal in the bus and a back - end server . </Li>
