IBM, Accredify to help enable organisations return to work

IBM’s Digital Health Pass will integrate with Accredify’s Digital Health Passport.

Tech companies IBM and Accredify announced their collaboration plans to help enable oversea travels and return-to-work programmes and manage vaccination rollout with a verifiable and privacy-preserving way.

According to a joint press release, the companies intend to work together to help governments and organisations make data-driven decisions as they look to minimise risk and communicate effectively. IBM’s Digital Health Pass will integrate with Accredify’s Digital Health Passport.

The solutions from IBM and Accredify are designed to help businesses in implementing return-to-work programmes to verify the health status of employees by leveraging verifiable credentials from health providers made through the companies’ solutions.

“The safe reopening of travel borders and workplaces is crucial for economic revival, but a major difficulty which countries and employers will encounter is procuring a reliable and efficient solution to ensure travellers and employees are COVID compliant to prevent reinfection,” Accredify chief executive officer Quah Zheng Wei said.

“As testing becomes more prevalent and vaccine distribution accelerates, we are expanding the availability of IBM Digital Health Pass with Accredify so that credentials created on one platform will be recognized by the other to create a seamless experience for individuals as they seek to travel across borders," IBM Watson Health global vice president Eric Piscini added.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
