Key result
ECG biometric authentication yielded an equal error rate of 10.8% alone, improving to 3.02% and 1.52% when combined with face and fingerprint biometrics, respectively.

May enhance multimodal biometric security in cardiology applications; leaves open prospective validation before clinical deployment.
ECG can serve as an effective supplementary biometric for individual authentication, significantly reducing error rates when combined with face or fingerprint recognition.
Singh et al. (2012) studied this question. ECG-enabled biometric authentication was evaluated on Equal error rate (EER). ECG biometric authentication yielded an equal error rate of 10.8% alone, improving to 3.02% and 1.52% when combined with face and fingerprint biometrics, respectively.
