XECAN Develops Mask-On Facial Recognition for Radiation Oncology

Boston, MA On July 1st 2022, XECAN develops Mask-On Facial Recognition for Radiation Oncology for Berkshire Medical Center. Which aims to improve workflow, and increase patient care efficiency and quality.

Powered by the latest neuron network and improved template matching algorithm, the XECAN face ID software can identify patients consistently and reliably with or without a mask on. It focuses on the uncovered areas, such as the eyes and forehead. Compared with patient verification with a dome camera, the masked patients achieve the same level of accuracy with about a 1-second delay.

XECAN is among the first software companies worldwide to achieve this upgrade, and the first to utilize its first-class facial recognition technology and options for patient and staff safety, and improved hospital workflow. The software is in general public distribution to provide XECAN touchless experience. 

When a patient enters the clinic, they are automatically recognized and checked into MOSAIQ, ARIA, EPIC, or other EMR systems. While he/she walks into the treatment or exam room, his/her treatment chat is automatically opened. This is accomplished, crucially, without requiring patients to take off their masks. 

In addition to the patient identification, treatment accessories are tracked with the latest RFID tags to make sure the right patient and the right accessories for every patient. This easy-to-use technology brings the clinic treatment accuracy to the next level.

The mask-on facial recognition solution was in clinic use at Berkshire Medical Center, MA, USA
