Bridging the gap between unidentified hospital patients and searching families

🇬🇧 English · 🇪🇸 Español

Hospitals rely on isolated, manual protocols to register unidentified patients ("John Does"), creating a critical data disconnect with families who search blindly in morgues and ERs. IAPEX solves this by providing a privacy-focused ecosystem connecting institutional data with public queries through a secure biometric matching core, reducing identification time from days to seconds.

1. Hospitals register unidentified patients via the Web Portal — capturing morphological traits, photographs, and medical data under strict RBAC
2. Families search via the Mobile App — uploading photos and descriptions of missing loved ones
3. The Neural Core fuses FaceNet embeddings (Euclidean distance) with text filters (Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler) to rank candidates, significantly reducing false positives
4. Matches are displayed with similarity scores — patient privacy is protected until verified by institution staff
