BACKGROUND The transition from paper-based to digital systems in healthcare facilities has been driven by the need for improved efficiency and accuracy. Implementing biometric systems, such as fingerprint recognition, a significant component of this transformation. This study aimed assess utilising biometrics Lusaka, Zambia OBJECTIVE METHODS A phenomenological approach was employed gather in-depth insights participants, including Ministry Health officials, workers, end-users (patients). Semi-structured interviews were conducted across selected Lusaka Province, with data collected both English Chinyanja. Thematic analysis using NVivo version 12 applied identify recurring themes patterns related implementing managing systems. RESULTS found that significantly patient identification management. Participants reported enhanced accuracy records, reduced duplication, streamlined access information. However, challenges technical issues power outages privacy concerns noted. Additionally, barriers acceptance included lack information, logistical challenges, community misconceptions about technology. CONCLUSIONS particularly integration technologies, demonstrated considerable benefits settings, operational efficiency. Despite these advantages, addressing perceptual along enhancing education, is crucial maximizing achieving successful Zambia.

This research examines the significance of privacy synthetic data in healthcare and biomedicine by an analysis actual data. The authentic health care necessitates secure transmission such exclusively to authorized users. Therefore, minimise reliance on data, is developed incorporating diverse biometric pattern representations, necessitating a distinct setup with adversarial scenarios. Furthermore, improve quality deep convolutional network examined under several operational modes. conditional metric employed this instance avert loss so ensuring consistent transmissions. system model examining numerous parameters associated matching, classification losses, privacy, information leakage, relocations, deformations, which are merged corresponding framework. To validate results integrated model, four scenarios two case studies examined, demonstrating that successful creation can be achieved artificially minimal losses 5%.
