Throughout history, humankind has been progressing steadily in the generation of knowledge and applications using such findings. In this context, different revolutions have emerged across the years, such as in agriculture, industry, technology, science, and, most recently, information. Information technologies refer to the analysis, structuring and interpretation of vast amounts of data and information available as an endless resource for research, and development in different fields. Healthcare represents one among many other fields with increasing applications of information technologies.

Biometric systems are some of the most notorious representatives of this type of technology. These systems obtain relevant information regarding our bodies and behaviors. Many innovative solutions under this scheme generate biosensors, the development of personalized healthcare services, intelligent fitness applications, wearable devices, and algorithms for predicting pathologies and health risks based on readings and analyses of physiological features, among other data. Thus, biometric systems provide the means to identify, authenticate, and model individuals in a reliable way through unique physiological and behavioral features. Ultimately, such systems generate information and knowledge about the health and behavior of humans.
