WARREN, N.J. and BANGALORE, India, Nov.
1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Mindtree, a global technology
services and digital transformation company, today launched Digital
Health Passport for Travel, a solution that provides a smarter,
safer and smoother experience to global travelers in navigating
frequently changing travel regulations and restrictions related to
the COVID-19 pandemic.
The solution offers travelers an easy, quick and secure way to
comply with country-specific entry requirements and protocols. It
enables them to locate COVID-19 testing providers, schedule tests
and make sure that test results meet their destination's criteria.
It also facilitates swifter approvals by allowing travelers to
digitally store, manage, validate and share test results, vaccine
certifications, self-attestations, travel authorization forms and
other travel documents.
"Amid a wide range of rapidly evolving travel health standards
because of the pandemic with no single authority to harmonize them,
travelers worldwide are dealing with a high degree of confusion and
ambiguity," said Venu Lambu, Executive Director and President,
Global Markets, at Mindtree. "Mindtree's digital health passport
for travel is a comprehensive and long-term solution that addresses
multiple aspects of travel-readiness and drives seamless,
contactless and paperless travel health workflows. This makes it
easier for travelers as well as authorities to make informed
decisions, speed up processes and minimize health risks."
Built using Hyperledger Fabric blockchain technology, this
platform-based white label offering can work in tandem with the
existing apps of travel suppliers, saving them the time, cost and
effort required to engage with new partners for every change. The
real-time, adaptive solution can be readily integrated with
boarding gate readers, check-in kiosks, border management systems,
e-gates and standalone identity desktops. It can also be easily
plugged into Evernym's verifiable credentials platform, Sherpa's
visa and travel rules API, International Air Transport
Association's (IATA) Timatic passenger verification database, and
Smartvel's AI-powered travel solutions.
"Mindtree's Digital Health Passport for Travel has enormous
potential to boost travel safety as well as traveler confidence in
the new normal," said Daniela
Barbosa, Executive Director at Hyperledger Foundation, and
General Manager, Blockchain, Healthcare and Identity for the Linux
Foundation. "We are pleased that Mindtree has chosen Hyperledger
Fabric's modular, plug-and-play and versatile design for the
solution to deliver speed, efficiency and performance at scale. As
an industry-wide open-source initiative, Hyperledger Fabric also
enables the solution to harness the latest innovation in blockchain
technology. It is great to see Hyperledger technology being put to
work to provide travelers with easy movements and uninterrupted
flows, and help airlines, airports and authorities better meet
regulatory safety requirements."
In addition to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, airports,
government agencies and car rental firms, the solution can also be
used by companies to monitor and manage workplace safety when
offices reopen.
