AuthAir develops cutting edge authentication solutions that make authentication systems more robust and reliable. Their solutions seamlessly integrate with simple and complex IT infrastructures while adding additional layers of security, helping businesses – large and small – meet regulations with compliance, promoting industry best practices for multiple verticals.
The company’s first solution, AuthAir Dental, takes aim at dramatically easing the Dental vertical’s particular HIPAA security compliance concerns to keep protected electronic Patient Health Information (ePHI) away from prying eyes during both routine and specialized visits to Dental offices.
As CEO Yaron Baitch describes, “We’ve purpose-built AuthAir to take authentication to the next level, by providing more protection than current solutions in a way that requires little-to-no modification to existing end user processes and procedures. In the case of our Dental product we’re able to allow office staff to leave their tokens in their pockets, or around their necks on a lanyard, without having to type a code of any kind. We make use of secure communication, seamlessly interacting with previously secured workstations, to create an authentication geofence around that practice’s office computer network. Only a valid user with an authorized AuthAir Dental token on their person will automatically unlock an AuthAir Dental secured station when they come within an allowable distance and be able to read or edit patient records.”
Prominent Dentists such as Dr. Robert E. Weiner of the Princeton Center For Implant Dentistry are convinced: “The fact that my offices’ authorized users can step out of the operatory, and the AuthAir Dental secured station locks itself down and can’t be accessed by patients or visitors is outstanding. That takes a lot of the burden off my staff in terms of worrying about compliance.”
Michelle Hambidge, Director of Marketing and Administration for the Dental Integrators Association, a non-profit network of leading, independent and certified Dental Technology integration firms nationwide, agrees the solution is doing a nice job making it easy to weave into existing Dental processes. “When a Dentist, Hygienist or Assistant wearing or carrying an authorized AuthAir Dental token re-enters the operatory and approaches that same AuthAir Dental secured station, access is immediately restored, right where they left off, without requiring anyone to log back in. That’s a substantial development. Dental staff members are constantly on the move as they are in and out of the different operatories throughout the practice. Hygienists might step in and out multiple times during a single visit, sometimes to take an x-ray, or just to check with the front desk or Dentist. It’s cumbersome to log in and log out over, and over again, just to get back to the same place in the same patient record. This solution can potentially save them significant time, while helping protect the practice.”
The company is exhibiting at the Hinman Dental Meeting in Atlanta from March 27- 29 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Hall B, Booth #757.
