Heartbeat recognition can quickly be used to unlock doors, start cars, and even pay for shopping, because the new Nymi wristband is currently under development. The Nymi is a lightweight, wearable wristband that verifies the user's identity through the wearer's electrocardiogram or heartbeat rhythm. Founded in 2011, Canadian company Bionym is the creator of the Nymi device, claiming that the technology is unique and harder to fake than fingerprinting. The Nymi device's ECG recognition algorithm observes the shape of the heartbeat of the wearer.
High-tech bracelet works to read the wearer's heartbeat and find the user's own unique identifier to use instead to enter a PIN number or password. The technology is currently being tested by financial companies. Its creator says that even if the wearer's heart rhythm has changed in the Nymi device, for example, in the exercise, the unique heartbeat waveform shape is still identifiable and can still act on the device. During the certification process, the system is the owner who can ignore low-frequency abnormalities and will still correctly identify it. If the cardiac arrhythmia or pacemaker is used, it will not affect the performance of Nymi because every heartbeat, even if it is irregular, But still has a unique logo.
