The Spanish company “Neonatal Identification and Custody”(ICN) was created by Carlos Herreros, a man who considered at the birth of his son 7 years ago that identification bracelets were unsafe and raised the need for more effective means of identifying newborns in maternity wards .
After several years in the US, this entrepreneur states that Your newborn identification system is unique in the world. It is a high integration terminal with all peripherals incorporated to identify newborns.
According to this company, the birth parts of a lifetime collect, with ink, the traces of the mother and the baby but with this method the detail of the footprint of the newborn is not obtained. They propose photograph fingerprints digitally of the mother and the child with what is achieved a total sharpness and so, in case of doubt about the identities, you just have to compare the traces taken. ICN, already consolidated in Spain, now poses the challenge of making the leap abroad, Portugal United Kingdom USA, Mexico, Brazil ... because they are nations with high number of births.
I am glad that these new systems exist to identify our children with total security because there is always that fearless fear that we get confused as a son as has happened to these people who realized at the age of 26 that they were exchanged at birth or this more recent case where fortunately they realized much earlier.
The families that give birth at home will have their drawbacks but at least this issue has it under control.
