In today's changing world it is important to carry proof of one's identity. Improvements in technology have made our lives easier, but these advances also bring risks. Our identities are more valuable than any material possession we have. The loss of information on credit card or utility bills can lead to huge financial losses. A smart ID card gives us the means to protect our identity and to be able to prove it in a secure manner. It helps keep track of our movements, access government programs and other benefits offered by the government and private organizations.

With India being seen as a major global heath and medical market, more and more hospitals are adopting smart card technology to enhance the quality of the medical service they provide. Smart cards help identify and maintain patients' medical history, thus helping doctors in diagnosis, particularly in remote locations where online access to medical records is not possible. Smart health cards give immediate access to medical histories, current medications, allergies, personal information about the card holder and other information necessary in making medical decisions.
