Healthcare providers operate under the most direct link between identity assurance and patient safety of any sector. FARx delivers continuous biometric verification for healthcare authentication across clinical workflows - from dictation and telephone triage to theatre logging and EPR access - without adding a single step for clinical staff.
Hospitals and GP surgeries already use speech recognition platforms such as Dragon Medical to capture clinical notes, authorise medications, and log consultations hands-free. These systems are highly effective at capturing what is said but they cannot verify who is saying it. In busy ward environments where terminals are left unattended between sessions and shared across shifts, how do these systems know that the verified clinician is the one behind the screen? This is a daily reality with direct consequences for patient safety, clinical accountability, and regulatory compliance.
FARx continuously performs security verification, authenticating the clinician's voice and facial biometrics throughout every session. Notes are recorded only under the identity of the verified prescriber. Medication authorisations are biometrically linked to the registered clinician who provided them. Patient records are automatically restricted the moment the enrolled user leaves the terminal. And in multi-clinician environments such as operating theatres, FARx identifies the active speaker by biometric profile, ensuring the operative log accurately reflects who said what, and who was accountable at every stage.
A robust healthcare authentication system to protect against unauthorised personnel.
6 regulatory frameworks addressed - NHS DSPT, UK GDPR, CQC, Medicines Act, Cyber Essentials, Care Act (FARx use case analysis)
0 changes to existing clinical workflows - FARx integrates via REST API with Dragon Medical and equivalent platforms (FARx technical architecture)
100% of biometric processing done on-premises - no patient data leaves the organisation's own infrastructure (FARx data architecture)
The regulatory case is equally compelling. NHS DSPT requirements for continuous access controls, CQC Well-Led standards for clinical accountability, the Controlled Drugs Regulations' attribution requirements, and the UK GDPR's accountability principle all require organisations to demonstrate - not merely assert - that the right individual was present and verified throughout every clinical interaction. FARx provides the biometric audit trail that makes that demonstration possible.
1. Clinician dictation of medical notes
Every dictated note is biometrically linked to the verified clinician for a secure system- not simply to whoever had access to the terminal - with unattended terminal detection for added security, preventing unauthorised dictation under another clinician's identity.
2. Telephone triage and remote consultations
Both the clinician and the patient are biometrically verified throughout the call for security verification, with real-time synthetic voice detection preventing fraudulent requests for prescriptions, referrals, or sensitive clinical information.
3. Medication dispensing authorisation
Voice biometric verification confirms that verbal medication and controlled drug authorisations are given by the registered, enrolled prescriber - providing a contemporaneous audit trail that a call recording alone cannot supply.
4. Access to electronic patient records
Continuous session authentication detects the moment an enrolled clinician leaves a terminal, automatically restricting access to patient records before an unauthorised individual can view, modify, or extract data.
5. Theatre and procedure logging
In multi-clinician theatre environments, FARx identifies the active speaker by biometric profile - ensuring operative notes are accurately attributed and litigation-ready in the event of a clinical incident or adverse outcome.
6. Safeguarding and mental health services
Continuous biometric authentication for staff accessing safeguarding and mental health records -including remote and community settings - with shoulder-surf detection and session controls preventing inadvertent exposure of the most sensitive case data.
