Biometric data is efficiently and successfully used in scientific research and is
a core aspect of forensic science and an essential element of access control systems. It helps you to increase the security level and make authentication and identification processes simpler, convenient and fast. Previously the use of this technology was costly and because of this economic constraint the influence on individual data protection rights were limited. Biometric data alters irrevocably the association between body and identity, as they make the traits of the human body machine readable and subject to further use. Biometric data can be processed and saved in multiple forms. There are times when the biometric data captures from a person is saved and processed in a raw format that helps to recognize its source, for instance the picture of a face, voice recording, picture of a fingerprint and many more. Sometimes, the raw captured biometric data are processed in a certain way that only selective traits or features are saved and extracted as a biometric template.
There are clinical research organizations (CRO) in India that provide a complete range of data management services in bio-equivalence as well as Phase I and IV clinical trials that are conducted in bio clinical laboratories. The biometric services provided by these clinical research organizations comprise the following:
Database Programming
* CRF Design (paper & electronic)
* CRF Annotation
* Database Programming
* Validation Checks
* Metadata Repository Management
Data Management
* Data Acquisition
* Data Reconciliation
* Discrepancy Management
* Medical Coding (MeDRA & WHODD)
* Database Lock
* Data Extraction for Reporting
Pharmacokinetic & Pharmacodynamic Studies
* Sampling Point Estimation
* Technical Document Review
* PK/PD Query Resolution
* PK/PD Subject Matter Expert

The main aim of biometrics companies or CROs offering biometric services is to be able to convert raw data to correct and reliable trial outputs that are compliant with selected regulatory policies. Furthermore, these companies and the biometric teams work in order to speed up the regulatory submission process and curtail timeline.
