KEY POINTS

NYU Langone Health patients will be able to check in for appointments using Amazon One, the company's palm-scanning technology.

The service will help NYU Langone speed up the sign-in process, reduce wait times and alleviate administrative workloads.

NYU Langone will be the largest third-party deployment of Amazon One to date.

Patients at NYU Langone Health facilities will soon be able to check in for appointments using Amazon's palm-scanning technology, the company announced Monday.

The contactless service, called Amazon One, can identify patients "securely and quickly," according to a release. NYU Langone said the technology will help it speed up sign-ins, alleviate administrative strain on staff, and reduce errors and wait times.

John 3:17-18
New King James Version

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be Saved.

18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Thank you very much!!

God bless you!

(sorry for all of my oopsies LOL - which are NUMEROUS!)

Yes, British police have been called on "mis-gendering" on Social Media - (we don't need no thought control)

HEY!! Keir Starmer, leave those citizens ALONE!!!

How fitting all the people in the photos are wearing masks too.

Sheeple.

[SaveFerris]

IMHO, COVID-19(84) was a watershed moment - when the world changed dramatically (seemingly OVERNIGHT)

I believe 09/11/2001 was a watershed moment - and things have not been the same since

a watershed moment ===> a turning point

Not sure if you saw this one (either)

“”The service will help NYU Langone speed up the sign-in process, reduce wait times and alleviate administrative workloads.””

Sounds like BS to me. I would really like for someone to splain ‘how’ this would be more efficient than a standard sign-in sheet... how it would “reduce wait times” (they either have enough doctors and don’t overbook appointments.. or not).... and how it would alleviate workloads, since somebody extra would have to be tasked with checking the electronic “sign-in” process. It’s either the same workload, or more of a workload due to the ‘improved technology’.

I don’t see how it would equate to what they are claiming. But the clueless useful idiots will rush to get in on the new, hip and ‘cool’ way to check in... never realizing that this improved tech costs money and that cost will be passed on to ALL of the patients (not just the ones using palm-scnning) via their ever-expanding medical bills. Pushed as a convenience, it will just further drain wallets and lead to even more invasive ‘improvements’.

“”“That’s both a positive experience for the patient to be able to actually get in faster, and requires less work on our part having to authenticate who the patient is,” Rubin said.””

As for having to “authenticate” who a patient is... that’s what patient medical files, now computerized, are for. It ain’t rocket science.

Also, re: palm-scanning tech in retail... how does the customer know that these templates of their palms will be encrypted and safe from fraud, hacking or any other kind of mischief. There is no guarantee that I can see. And as for the long-term low-dose infrared use danger, scientists and those pushing this tech have no idea how it might cause adverse damage to the user of these palm-scanning devices. And these are probably the same folks that sold the “safe and effective” jab line. I’ll stick with the old fashioned credit card for payment, and sign-in sheets for medical appointments.

Well, they gotta sell the public on this thing (and other things)

There are some that would prefer that we remain silent on this stuff

So that the world can continue in blind ignorance of what is coming

[Danie_2023]

“”There are some that would prefer that we remain silent on this stuff””

And there will be some that eventually figure a way to silence us. Until then, I’ll gleefully remain a vocal thorn in their side.

You’ll never be able to stop the tech (which in some cases may actually be very helpful).

All we, as Americans, have to do is control the use of the information.

It must all be in accordance with the Constitution...in other words, no use of it to persecute people who expressed a conservative opinion, etc.

Urging terrorism is one thing and should be stopped. This would be such as BLM, which because it was leftist, remains unpunished to this day.

The only thing we need to fear is having the government use regular ID information, such as a palm print, to track what it perceives as enemies. Not surprisingly, it’s leftist governments that do this more than anybody else.

But you can’t stop technology...just control its use and protect against misuse.

It will definitely be used for security purposes too (this technology)

Not to worry - they have one to scan your forehead, too!

[SaveFerris]

I’m sure they will
