WISeKey’s cybersecurity and identity management solutions are used to digitally certify and encrypt sensitive personal medical data originating from IoT health sensors, medical test lab results, and proximity tracing devices. After input into arago’s risk management platform, all the data points are processed to determine an individual’s risk assessment. Enterprise customers are then able to select which employees, customers or partners that should undergo screening tests based on arago’s risk assessment. Based on this proprietary assessment, enterprise customers can reduce the systemic COVID-19 risk to the enterprise and their employees. Using the WISeKey identity management solution, individual health and risk status profile can be shared anonymously with third parties without revealing the identity of the individual. This approach makes it possible to have low risk on an individual basis, minimize the amount of testing people are exposed to and create an ecosystem of trusted health status. It is now recognized by many governments that COVID-19 strengthens the case for Digital Identities and Digital ID cards as provided by the WISeID platform (https://www.economist.com/leaders/2020/09/05/covid-19-strengthens-the-case-for-digital-id-cards).
Enterprises and governments around the world are still struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic. While social distancing, remote work and temporary lockdowns have helped on the short-term to quell exponential spread, these measures cannot be applied for much longer without causing permanent social and economic damage. A trusted health platform for COVID-19 risk management will enable enterprises to bring their operations back to almost normal levels, i.e. without requiring the current levels of capacity reduction or social distancing.
