Our take

As cybersecurity attacks mount in both number and severity, increasingly novel and watertight security measures are needed across the globe. One of the frontrunners is biometrics, and a major champion of this approach is workplace wearable technology company Nymi. Nymi has developed a series of wristbands that use fingerprint and heartbeat recognition technology to confirm wearer identity. These can then be used in place of passcodes and swipecards, offering more secure and efficient workplace solutions.

Nymi has a reputable and secure track record with their tech, but public attitudes towards the privacy risks associated with wearables is likely to mean workplace adoption is slower than it has proven over recent years outside of work. Nevertheless, Nymi is seeing strong custom from enterprise companies, and its regular product updates are remaining in step with new workplace obstacles - with a social distancing feature, for example, in the newest model.

The trick will be consistently proving the value added that biometric wearables bring to the workplace. Nymi’s growing spread of high-grade clients like Bayer, AstraZeneca, and BionTech, is reflective that they are succeeding in doing so. The company's acquisition by Innominds, a Californian full-cycle product engineering services company in 2022, is evidence of this and will aid Nymi in its digital growth.
