The Challenge: Newborn to 8 year old ID Capture

Why infant print identification is so difficult

Standard 500ppi Fails

Infant prints are tiny and require highly sophisticated imaging techniques; high-resolution alone is not enough.

Standard Contact Readers Fail

Infant fingers are easily deformable and fingerprints are distorted by contact pressure, obscuring details.

Standard Non-Contact Readers Fail

Infants' behavior make them difficult to position for consistent image quality.

Longitudinal Matching Fails

As infants grow to be adults, matching becomes difficult or impossible due to age-related changes.

The Solution

Synolo® Neo Fingerprint Reader

Specifically designed to capture and match fingerprints from birth to adulthood

Incorporates patented imaging and usability technology developed at UCSD under grant from Gates Foundation

Scientifically proven to provide 1:N matching from birth to adulthood in multiple studies with thousands of infants, newborns, children and adults

Currently in use for government identification and in hospitals, clinics and schools in the US, Europe, Middle East and LATAM

SDK available for integration with customer biometric systems

Age-corrected images output in standard 500 dpi and super hi-resolution
