HealthKeyID (HKID) is an mobile device application that digitizes the health check process, focusing on Covid19 testing. When paired with Virolens™ users have the quickest and most secure digital health passport at their fingertips. With significant inbuilt flexibility HealthKeyID is suitable for many applications, not just airline transportation.
A digital health passport is an app. that displays a traveller's Covid19 test result or vaccination record. It will confirm to airline staff or border control that a particular individual is at a low risk of acquiring or transmitting the virus.
The premise of a digital health passport is simple. A traveller downloads an app. on their smartphone. The app. provides guidance for what verifications they need to travel. The primary focus is for a negative Covid19 test. Once the results are accepted, the traveller will receive a QR code, verifying they are safe to fly or enter a Covid19 controlled environment.
The passport technology is gaining traction with airlines and Governments. Eventually more governments will align over their choice of provider. It is widely believed that most countries will eventually recognize multiple platforms as acceptable digital health passports, in the same way they purchase different vaccines. HealthKeyID is uniquely positioned to be the digital passport of choice, and currently the ONLY application to offer Covid 19 testing integration with ‘Virolens’ virus testing solution.
