Biometric as a Service (BaaS) in healthcare refers to cloud-based services that provide biometric authentication and monitoring, allowing healthcare providers to securely access, store, and analyze patient biometric data. This service is used for patient identification, remote monitoring, and access control, improving security and patient care by enabling real-time, accurate health data collection, such as heart rate and blood pressure, while ensuring compliance with healthcare regulations such as HIPAA.
The primary modality types in biometric as a service for healthcare are unimodal and multimodal systems. Unimodal systems rely on a single biometric trait, such as fingerprints or facial features, for identity verification, offering simplicity but limited accuracy in varying conditions. The components of this service include software and services, with multiple scanner types such as fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, palm recognition, facial recognition, voice recognition, and others. Applications of BaaS in healthcare include pharmacy dispensing, care provider authentication, medical record and data center security, patient identification and tracking, home or remote patient access, narcotic security, preventing insurance fraud, and more. These services are used by a variety of end users, including hospitals, long-term care centers, ambulatory surgical centers, and others.

The biometric as a service in healthcare market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.30 billion in 2024 to $1.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.26%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the rising demand for secure patient data management, increased healthcare infrastructure investment, the adoption of wearable biometric devices for healthcare monitoring, the growth of digital health solutions and mobile health apps, and the growing preference for personalized healthcare experiences.
The biometric as a service in healthcare market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.66 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.89%. In the forecast period, growth is expected to be driven by increasing digital transformation in healthcare, the growing adoption of wearables, a high incidence of identity theft, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, and a focus on preventing prescription fraud. Key trends in the forecast period include the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in biometric systems, next-generation iris scanning, integration with blockchain for biometric authentication, advanced biometric cloud solutions, and touchless biometric solutions for healthcare.
The growing use of mobile devices is expected to drive the expansion of biometric-as-a-service (BaaS) in healthcare. Mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches, are portable electronic tools designed for wireless communication, internet access, and a wide range of applications. The rise in mobile device usage is driven by improvements in wireless technology, the availability of affordable smartphones, better internet connectivity, and the growing prevalence of mobile healthcare applications. Mobile devices enable BaaS in healthcare by allowing secure, real-time access to sensitive health data and patient records through advanced biometric authentication. This ensures both convenience and compliance with healthcare regulations. For example, according to Ericsson's 2023 Mobility Report, the number of global smartphone subscriptions was 6.93 billion in 2023, with an expected increase to 7.16 billion in 2024. This trend highlights how the growing adoption of mobile devices is fueling the biometric-as-a-service market in healthcare.
Companies in the biometric-as-a-service healthcare market are focusing on innovative solutions such as facial recognition technology to improve patient identification, streamline access control, and enhance security in healthcare settings. Facial recognition systems use technology to identify or verify individuals by analyzing and comparing facial features from images or video footage. These systems are often employed for security, authentication, or surveillance. For example, in February 2024, Imprivata Inc., a US-based software company, introduced Imprivata Biometric Patient Identity, a cutting-edge solution that uses facial recognition. This solution combines biometric technologies such as facial and fingerprint recognition to ensure precise patient identification across different care settings. It integrates smoothly with existing Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems, providing real-time authentication while ensuring strict compliance with healthcare privacy regulations such as HIPAA.
In March 2022, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, a US-based data analytics company, acquired BehavioSec for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to enhance LexisNexis's identity verification and fraud prevention capabilities by incorporating advanced behavioral biometrics, enabling continuous authentication, and improving identity trust across industries, including healthcare and finance. BehavioSec, a US-based company, specializes in behavioral biometrics for fraud prevention and identity management through continuous authentication.
