Free mobile vaccine passport allows healthcare
providers, businesses, and individuals to verify COVID-19 test
results and vaccination status
Ping Identity (NYSE: PING), the Intelligent Identity solution
for the enterprise, announced Project COVID Freedom which leverages
its recent acquisition of ShoCard personal identity to allow
healthcare providers, businesses, and individuals to easily share
proof of COVID test results and vaccinations.
Project COVID Freedom creates a secure and privacy enabled way
for healthcare providers, businesses, and individuals to verify
test and vaccination results, while keeping users up to date on
vaccination status over time via private encrypted messages.
Individuals instantly receive digital proof of their vaccinations
in their secure ShoCard mobile wallet from enrolled healthcare
providers, then can securely share with participating employers,
restaurants, entertainment arenas, friends, family, and more, using
a QR code.
Unlike other vaccination passports, Ping Identity’s solution
provides a secure way to continuously manage test results and
vaccination status, speeding up the time it takes to demonstrate
proof of vaccination, and providing a more versatile and
trustworthy solution over paper certifications. Using Ping
Identity’s solution, vaccine providers can send timely reminders
directly to customers when they are due for a second dose. Or, if a
batch of vaccines is discovered to lack efficacy, providers can
revoke the proof and instantly communicate corrective actions.
“Achieving normalcy post-pandemic will demand a level of
verifiable safety in the places where people come together most,”
said Andre Durand, CEO and founder of Ping Identity. “Using secure
and private technology that’s easily accessible from a smartphone,
Project COVID Freedom helps simplify the vaccination process so
individuals, businesses and healthcare providers can increase
in-person safety without compromising users' digital identity.”
“A return to normal requires secure and trusted ways to share
and verify vaccination status,” said Gautam M Shah, vice president
of platform and marketplace at Change Healthcare. “Supporting
Project COVID Freedom is a natural extension of Change Healthcare
and Ping Identity’s common goal to use secure, highly accurate
identity to enable trusted healthcare interactions for patients,
healthcare providers, and payers alike.”
Ping Identity’s COVID Passport uses decentralized identity
technology based on the ShoCard™ platform to provide verifiable
proof of test results and vaccinations, which may be securely
shared when a user permits through facial or fingerprint
biometrics. The complete end-to-end solution requires no
integration or coding to begin issuing or verifying proof of
vaccination. Individuals are only required to download an iPhone or
Android app.
The service is being offered for free to all governments,
businesses, healthcare providers, and individuals, and will become
widely available after early access testing is complete. Additional
and advanced use-cases will be available to Ping Identity customers
already leveraging the Ping Identity platform for identity, but it
is not required.
Healthcare providers, Businesses, or individuals can sign up to
receive early access at ShoCard.com. ShoCard is a trademark and
service of Ping Identity.
