Mindtree Launches Digital Health Passport for Travel to Improve Traveler Experience and Safety
WARREN, N.J. and BANGALORE, India, November 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -

    Mindtree [https://www.mindtree.com/], a global technology services and 
digital transformation company, today launched Digital Health Passport for 
Travel, a solution that provides a smarter, safer and smoother experience to 
global travelers in navigating frequently changing travel regulations and 
restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    The solution offers travelers an easy, quick and secure way to comply with 
country-specific entry requirements and protocols. It enables them to locate 
COVID-19 testing providers, schedule tests and make sure that test results meet 
their destination’s criteria. It also facilitates swifter approvals by allowing 
travelers to digitally store, manage, validate and share test results, vaccine 
certifications, self-attestations, travel authorization forms and other travel 
documents.

    “Amid a wide range of rapidly evolving travel health standards because of 
the pandemic with no single authority to harmonize them, travelers worldwide 
are dealing with a high degree of confusion and ambiguity,” said Venu Lambu, 
Executive Director and President, Global Markets, at Mindtree. “Mindtree’s 
digital health passport for travel is a comprehensive and long-term solution 
that addresses multiple aspects of travel-readiness and drives seamless, 
contactless and paperless travel health workflows. This makes it easier for 
travelers as well as authorities to make informed decisions, speed up processes 
and minimize health risks.”

    Built using Hyperledger Fabric blockchain technology, this platform-based 
white label offering can work in tandem with the existing apps of travel 
suppliers, saving them the time, cost and effort required to engage with new 
partners for every change. The real-time, adaptive solution can be readily 
integrated with boarding gate readers, check-in kiosks, border management 
systems, e-gates and standalone identity desktops. It can also be easily 
plugged into Evernym's verifiable credentials platform, Sherpa’s visa and 
travel rules API, International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Timatic 
passenger verification database, and Smartvel’s AI-powered travel solutions.

    “Mindtree’s Digital Health Passport for Travel has enormous potential to 
boost travel safety as well as traveler confidence in the new normal,” said 
Daniela Barbosa, Executive Director at Hyperledger Foundation, and General 
Manager, Blockchain, Healthcare and Identity for the Linux Foundation. “We are 
pleased that Mindtree has chosen Hyperledger Fabric’s modular, plug-and-play 
and versatile design for the solution to deliver speed, efficiency and 
performance at scale. As an industry-wide open-source initiative, Hyperledger 
Fabric also enables the solution to harness the latest innovation in blockchain 
technology. It is great to see Hyperledger technology being put to work to 
provide travelers with easy movements and uninterrupted flows, and help 
airlines, airports and authorities better meet regulatory safety requirements.”

    In addition to airlines, hotels, cruise lines, airports, government 
agencies and car rental firms, the solution can also be used by companies to 
monitor and manage workplace safety when offices reopen.
