Implication

Palm ECG biometrics may support identification uses; leaves open prospective validation before any clinical adoption.

Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of a human biometric identification system using short-term, resting Lead-I electrocardiogram (ECG) signals collected from palms.
Recorded short-term, resting Lead-I palm ECG signals from a cohort of 168 young college volunteers (N=168).
Randomly selected 50 participants for an initial development dataset and applied signal averaging to reduce noise in ECG templates.
Evaluated template matching and distance classification algorithms individually and within a combined prescreening model across the development and full datasets.
A single classification algorithm applied to the development dataset achieved an identification rate (rank one probability) of up to 98% (49 of 50 persons).
Incorporating a prescreening step into a combined system model improved identification accuracy to 100% on the 50-person development dataset.
Evaluating the combined model on the entire database of 168 participants yielded an overall identification rate of 95.3%.

Population

168 young college volunteers

Intervention

One-lead ECG (Lead-I recorded from palms) biometric identification system using a combined model of template matching, distance classification, and prescreening

Outcome

Identification rate (rank one probability)

A one-lead ECG recorded from the palms can be used as a biometric tool for human identification with high accuracy.
