Aware, Inc. Introduces Developer Hub to Further Simplify Businesses' Adoption of Biometric Technology Aware, Inc. underscored this commitment by announcing functionality enhancements to its SaaS-based AwareID solution that make it even more versatile and reliable for businesses and their users. The newly enhanced AwareID platform offers the reliability and robustness of its core services alongside enhanced front-end document capture and processing functionality, ensuring superior ease of use for users. This combination of reliability, trustworthiness, and convenience is crucial for any authentication and document verification process. In addition to backend support and user experience improvements, other AwareID platform updates include new mobile application frameworks (Flutter and React Native), and enhancements in document capture in native SDKs. The newly updated AwareID maintains its world-class verification capability while introducing face identification capability. Optimized for millions of online and offline operations, AwareID now provides value for use cases where businesses want to check an individual against an enrolled repository of users. A business might do this to prevent dual enrollment (for example, when users attempt to sign up a second time (or more) to get multiple sign-up rewards, like a $5 sign-up bonus). Furthermore, AwareID clients who have opted not to use the SaaS version of the platform, can now access updates directly. For non-cloud customers, there is no longer a wait between when an update is technically available and when they receive it. As soon as the technology is updated, customers can get a notification automatically and update directly. This improves the efficiency of the software update process, giving customers more time to focus on other priorities. Finally, Aware has announced the availability of a developer hub for AwareID, where developers can explore and access all documentation and SDKs related to AwareID. With this hub, any developer can start experimenting with and seeing the power of biometrics. Reported Earnings • Aug 02

Aware, Inc.'s Biometrics Again Increase Security and Convenience in Healthcare Through Knomi in Secure Enrollment for EPCS Aware, Inc. announced that its biometric facial recognition liveness technology has been included in Imprivata’s new mobile healthcare solution that enables seamless self-enrollment by the prescribers of electronic prescriptions for controlled substances (EPCS). This first-to-market enrollment solution expands applications of Aware’s Knomi™ in the healthcare market, further illustrating the positive impact of biometrics in common healthcare use cases. With global healthcare organizations having fully embraced electronic medical records (EMRs) over the past 10 years, the benefits of utilizing biometrics in healthcare workflows to improve security, compliance, and substantially simplify usability and workflow become clearer. While EMRs deliver many benefits, complying with EPCS mandates while ensuring physicians remain productive can be a complex undertaking. By relying on a person’s unique physical characteristics, biometrics provide an improved alternative to current workflows, increasing convenience for prescribers, bolstering security, and maintaining compliance with DEA requirements for EPCS. Beyond the Imprivata partnership, Biometric solutions from Aware can be used in a variety of other healthcare environments, including patient identification and identity and access management (IAM):
Mobile Patient Registration: Healthcare professionals can register new patients securely and remotely or in person using biometrics for authentication, leveraging the cameras and microphones found in today’s mobile devices to onboard new patients virtually anywhere. Patient Identification: Avoid the mistakes of patient misidentification—and the impacts of medical errors, incorrect prescriptions and duplicate records—by using a biometrics-as-a-service platform from Aware. Biometric data is much more secure than traditional authentication methods, and healthcare providers can leverage them to more accurately identify patients without having to rely on less secure alternatives. Mobile Authentication: Biometrics are a more convenient and secure means to ensure legitimate access to healthcare records for both patients and caregivers. Mobile biometric authentication frameworks can record and identify facial and voice recognition data for password-free multifactor authentication on smartphones, replacing passwords for mobile app login or out-of-band authentication for browser access. Identity Deduplication: Duplicate patient records can lead to healthcare treatment and medication errors. Biometric solutions can detect and merge duplicate patient records, making complete and accurate records available for caregivers, and greatly reducing the potential for treatment and medication errors.

Marquis Software Deploys the Highest Level of Biometric Security by Using Aware's Knomi® for Face + Voice Authenticationg Aware, Inc. announced that Marquis Software is leveraging Aware's Knomi in the authentication of offenders in Arkansas. Through Marquis' solution, more than 10,000 offender identities have been authenticated with Aware's Knomi mobile biometric authentication solution featuring face and voice liveness detection. Marquis Software understands the critical nature of the need for multi-factor authentication when security is paramount. As a provider of software used in offender management, Marquis leverages Aware's Knomi in the authentication of offenders in Arkansas. Offenders must check-in with their parole or probation officers online, according to the terms of their case. Knomi enables multifactor authentication with the convenience of mobile biometrics during that check-in to ensure a strong, difficult to repudiate, passwordless authentication. Which means the offender can simply use their smart phone to confirm their location in an irrefutable way—their face, their voice, their phone, location and time. Aware also announced that it has released an enhancement to its voice authentication and speaker recognition capability within its Knomi offering. Earlier this year, Aware combined facial recognition with speaker recognition in its Knomi 2.6 offering, taking the platform from one capability to a dual authentication capability with more security and convenience. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, and more organizations are turning to biometrics to add identity security while reducing friction, it's critical that technologies keep up and evolve as well. The release of Knomi 2.11 capitalizes on Knomi's ability to eliminate friction in the user experience when detecting liveness for face and voice, and elevates the dual-authentication capability of Knomi 2.6 to the exceptional performance required by current times. Today's announcement is the latest example of Aware's leadership in disruptive innovation: constantly pushing the boundaries of its work.
