The Covid-19 pandemic has not only created a global health crisis of extraordinary proportions, it has also created a potentially massive shift in the global economic order. Developing countries in South East Asia, Africa and Latin America are now racing to create a brand new digital ecosystem that can test, vaccinate, track and record health data for vast populations. At risk, is their isolation from those wealthier nations who have been quick to develop their own unique health pass systems.
In order to provide viable answers to the current issues, there are several basic truths that must be considered and understood.
Firstly, without the availability of common global standards and conventions, governments, corporations, airlines and other institutions have been forced to create their own ad hoc solutions. Many of these solutions compete directly with each other, not only across institutions but sometimes within them. Different departments and entities often require different passes and different levels of user information.
Secondly, the proliferation of a wide variety of digital health passes and check-in system shave led to considerable confusion, with many users forced to juggle multiple passes. Frequent travelers face a veritable smorgasbord of passes they need to navigate, such as IATA Pass, Common Pass, AOK Pass, EU PASS to name only a few.

Frequent travelers face a veritable smorgasbord of passes they need to navigate, such as IATA Pass, Common Pass, AOK Pass, EU PASS to name only a few.
Thirdly, without these passes, authorities are unwilling to allow any mass movement of populations as they are unable to track and manage the spread of Covid-19. The primary need to ensure the safety of citizens has oftenleft governments compelled to override the concerns of civil libertarians and data security managers.
Many developing countries have been unable to find adequate, effective and affordable solutions and face continuing lockdowns and further isolation from the rest of the world.
Around the globe, users are understandably skeptical when it comes to divulging personal data, particularly sensitive health data. It is reasonable to question who is in control of this information and ask what data should be justifiably shared with various authorities.
Naturally, governments and general regulators also have legitimate concerns surrounding third-party data systems over which they may no longer have full access and control.
When authorities force individuals to use a digital pass, many users fear for their privacy. This hesitation continues to be a key barrier to the widespread acceptance of the digital health pass system. Centering conversations solely around individual liberties often means missing a larger, more meaningful discussion which involves a user’s right to own and control their data.
The paradox of course, is that the pandemic has led many individuals to consume increasing amounts of digital media and in turn share large amounts of personal information. Forced to stay at home, users have been downloading apps and shopping online at an exponentially increasing rate. As a result, they have divulged more personal data than ever before to a vast array of online companies and other opaque entities.
Users are quite content to share very personal information on all types of social media, yet they are unwilling to share their vaccination status or be notified if they are at risk. It is vitally important to understand this phenomenon in order to overcome the barriers and raise the level of trust associated with the concept of a digital health pass.
The pathway to creating a widely acceptable digital health pass lies in providing a transparent system that balances the fears, concerns and demands of all stakeholders.
Of particular importance is the need to create a collaborative multi-partner venture that is agnostic and unaligned with any specific government, corporation or selected healthcare provider.
It is vital to engage openly with potential users in ways that are not viewed as coercive. There is ample evidence that a seamless integration of a digital health pass into an individual’s existing digital habits will yield far greater results.
For example, in China the introduction of a national digital health pass did not require a change of behavior and habits, nor the downloading an entirely new platform. Simply by adding a new 'Green Pass' feature to the widely popular WeChat messaging platform, citizens more easily accepted the health pass concept and were happy to adopt it as part of their daily digital life.
Indeed, we have something to learn from the recent high adoption rate of general ‘Wellness’ apps. These platforms require users to submit an assortment of highly personal health data, yet they are far less contentious and face far less scrutiny.
While any universal digital health pass must, by definition, eliminate the need for multiple downloading of different platforms, it must also clearly place the ownership and management of all data in the hands of users. When platforms eliminate the need for a central repository, sensitive personal information can be safely stored on an individual’s device, further alleviating security anxieties.
In addition, security tools like blockchain can play a vital role in ensuring records cannot be tampered with and are fully interoperable with other systems.
By putting users in control of their data, individuals can become active participants in the process, making the pathway to acceptance considerably easier.
As governments and the travel industry explore the benefits of digital health passports, the message from travelers is clear - digital health passports can be a vital tool in opening up travel. An Amadeus Survey from Feb 2021 found that just over 91% of travelers said they would be comfortable using a digital health passport for future trips:
If we are to return to a normal functioning society, we must overcome these inherent questions about control and use of data and the looming threat of navigating a multiplicity of health passes. What is required is a universal solution that takes a more novel approach.
At Futurecast, along with our partners Amnexis, we believe the answer lies in developing a so-called ‘white label’ solution that can be branded or embedded into any existing digital health pass solution.
Seesam One, our digital health pass platform, is universal and sets globally accepted standards that are fully aligned with government compliance rules. In this way, authorities can operate a robust, effective, reliable and easily administered system with regulation and oversight.
Usage of the Seesam One Pass is securely verified and individual liberties are maintained by safely storing data on each individual’s own personal device, thus allowing users to control what data is shared with specific entities. Organizations can verify credentials without having full access to an individual’s entire underlying information.
The strength of this type of solution is that it can be easily employed by a wide range of administrators including travel and hospitality, education, government, commerce as well as entertainment and sport venues. By allowing for evolving changes in health guidelines, operators can constantly remain in compliance without any disruptions in service.
Above all else, it is vital that any solution provides additional value to all by incorporating the ability to move beyond simply managing Covid-19 vaccination certificates, testing and immunization booking.
By allowing users to control and manage their entire immunization data history, a universal digital health pass such as the Seesam One Pass can become more than just a Covid tool. It can be deployed to progressively manage an individual’s entire medical vaccination record and safely store all past and future immunization records. In this way, a digital health pass is uniquely positioned to help authorities control and manage future disease outbreaks.
Digital health passes have a potentially unique role in maintaining future global public health and safety. They are well placed to become a life companion that will equally serve users and authorities in ways that make healthcare far more accessible and manageable.
The pandemic now offers the community of nations a unique opportunity to launch a diverse solution that can effectively replace the traditional yellow card vaccination books of the past with a modern and powerful means for tracing vaccine and health history.
We now have within reach a universally acceptable tool that will increase urban mobility and ensure public safety, not only for today, but for tomorrow.

The seismic changes created by the Covid-19 pandemic have taught us many valuable lessons, especially when it comes to recognizing the deficiencies in global screening and testing systems. How we recognize those vulnerabilities and collaborate to mitigate them, is now key to the creation of robust new systems designed to cope with the demands of a post-Covid world.
