Abstract
This chapter focuses on the emerging applications of biometrics in biomedical and health care solutions. It includes surveys of recent pilot projects, involving new sensors of biometric data and new applications of human physiological and behavioral biometrics. It also shows the new and promising horizons of using biometrics in natural and contactless control interfaces for surgical control, rehabilitation and accessibility.
