Abstract

Finger vein biometrics have been implemented for authentication in a variety of contexts and places. Vein patterns are unique, easy to capture and resistant to surface wear and tear. However, there has been a lack of research on the effectiveness and stability of vein patterns in the elderly population (aged 60 years and above). A lack of inclusivity, has in the past ostracised senior citizens, from accessing basic amenities, such as pension payments and healthcare services. A lack of inclusion of the elderly in finger vein biometric research could result in the exclusion of elderly people from goods and services which use finger vein biometric authentication. As the global population ages, ensuring the usability of biometric technologies for the elderly is both a social and economic imperative.
