ARMONK, N.Y., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) and CLX Health today announced plans to integrate IBM Digital
Health Pass with CLX Health's TrustAssure™ platform to help provide
individuals with a seamless, secure way to locate and schedule a
COVID-19 test with a provider and create a verifiable credential to
use, if needed, when returning to physical locations, such as an
airplane, sports stadium or workplace. CLX TrustAssure is a global
network of more than 15,000 labs across more than 82 countries.
The IBM Digital Health Pass is designed to enable organizations
to verify COVID-19 test results or vaccine administration for
employees, customers and visitors entering their site, such as a
sports stadium, airplane, university, government building or
workplace. Relying on a combination of encryption, QR codes and
blockchain technology, the IBM Digital Health Pass is a
secured, voluntary digital alternative to paper test results or
vaccination cards and provides another option, if needed, for
individuals to share that they have tested negative or been
vaccinated for COVID-19.
The TrustAssure Provider Lab Portal powered by CLX Health allows
individuals access to their lab and diagnostic data anytime, from
anywhere. Built on a secure, unified platform, the web-based portal
is interactive and easy to navigate. The planned integration of the
IBM Digital Health Pass will mean that once an individual's
COVID-19 test is complete, the individual will receive their
results and can then opt to create a verifiable credential to add
to a secure digital wallet on their smartphone. Additionally, the
platform will allow for paper-to-digital scan and validation of
COVID-19 vaccine cards so individuals can upload those credentials
into their wallet to easily store and share them, if needed, via a
verified QR code.
"We are pleased to work with CLX Health to help individuals
verify their COVID-19 health credentials, if needed, in a way that
preserves privacy of their personal health information," said
Eric Piscini, Vice President,
Emerging Business Networks, IBM Watson Health. "By working
together, we can help enable a smoother, more efficient experience
for travellers, fans and employees using the IBM Digital Health
Pass."
"CLX Health is working closely with IBM and its Digital Health
Pass to issue verifiable credentials for COVID-19 test results,"
said Joseph Gonzalez, Chief Strategy
Officer for CLX Health. "This is an important step in establishing
an end-to-end solution that could add operational efficiency to our
daily activities and improve upon convenience and safety
overall."
