Launched in May 2020, Health n Go is a Swiss blockchain health certificate app built on the TIXnGO’s blockchain platform, which has been used by UEFA. As the world slowly goes back to normal, Health n Go aims to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 by identifying COVID-free individuals. Today they’ve released new information on the app’s trial, with seemingly encouraging results. For the tests, Health n Go collaborated with Swiss firms Medisupport, a laboratory network, and employees of Mitisa, a manufacturer of railway equipment that has staff that travels frequently.
In terms of how it works, users present the app to the health professional responsible for providing their virus test. The health professional then scans the app’s QR code, checks the user’s identity, performs the test swabs, and scans the test’s sample identifier into the app. Then, the swabs are sent to be tested at Medisupport. Once complete, the test result appears on the Health n Go app as a digitally encrypted health certificate, accessible to users.
According to Health n Go, every trial user successfully received their digital health certificate. In the context of the pandemic, this means the app acts as proof that users are COVID-19 free, which is particularly useful for those who may need to travel across-borders for work during this time of travel restrictions.
