VSTE Develops Corona Virus Digital Health Passport
Cyber Tech Company Develops Corona Virus Digital Health Passport
With VCode(R)
Game Changer 'V-COVID(TM)' Passport
Will Allow Healthcare Trusts & Blue Light Emergency Key
Workers Rapid
Return to the Frontline
MANCHESTER, ENGLAND / ACCESSWIRE / April 3, 2020 / VST
Enterprises Ltd (VSTE) the British cyber security company founded
by tech entrepreneur Louis-James Davis (31) has today announced
that it has developed a unique digital health care passport in the
fight against CoronaVirus (COVID19).
'V-COVID(TM)' ( powered by VCode(R)) will not only help rapidly
speed up the process of getting key critical care workers within
the NHS and Health Care trusts and blue light emergency services
returning to the frontline, but also ensure that they do so safely
and securely.
VSTE are in talks with several leading medical equipment and
service providers and are hoping to accelerate discussions with the
NHS, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and other health care
trusts around the world.
VST Enterprises Ltd which is based in Manchester are also in
discussions to form a joint venture with international medical
equipment company, Prometheus Medical - the UK's leading supplier
of pre hospital medical equipment and medical training courses- to
provide its VCode(R) and VPlatform(R) technology.
Kevin Gallagher Group Chief Executive Officer for Prometheus
Medical said;
"We are extremely excited to be working with Louis-James Davis
and VST Enterprises developing the VCode(R) and VPlatform(R)
technology and how it could improve the life-changing medical
equipment that Prometheus Medical provides worldwide."
The groundbreaking VCode(R) and VPlatform(R) technology works as
a secure digital passport within a scannable app. The technology
can be integrated into existing healthcare apps using the
development kit, but is looking to be rolled out alongside Corona
Virus (Covid-19) testing kits..
The VCode(R) technology can support test result reporting back
to the NHS or the Healthcare Trust where the key worker is
employed. The 'V-COVID(TM)' digital health passport can then be
used on a regular basis for ongoing monitoring and reporting.
A key worker can present their smart phone with the displaying
the 'V-COVID(TM)' app with their latest test result - which can be
scanned outside the 2 metre safe distancing zone - to any official
to confirm and authenticate their current health status based on a
traffic light system.
VCode(R) and VPlatform(R) represents the gold standard and next
generation of code scanning technology - an evolutionary step
forward from traditional barcodes and QR Codes. Using military
grade encryption it has over 2.2 Quintillion variations of codes.
The codes become ultra-secure as user login, time, facial
recognition, touch ID, geo-fences, handset brand and number of
scans are just some of the factors that change what information the
VCode(R) links to at the point of scanning.
VCode(R) has an infinite range of applications and capabilities
from secure identification and ID, to geo location and geo fencing,
asset tracking, authentication and permission based
authorisations.
VSTE is currently using the same technology to work with the
UNITED NATIONS as part of their SDG Collaboratory (Sustainable
Development Goals) program - to provide a wide range of technology
services to 9 Billion people by 2030 and which will be announced in
the coming weeks.
Commenting on the technology and development of 'V-COVID(TM)',
VST Enterprises founder and CEO Louis-James Davis said;
'V-COVID(TM)' is a game changer in rapidly speeding up the
process of getting critical care key workers and frontline staff
back into the NHS and in our hospitals. As a digital healthcare
passport it will also be a critically important asset in getting
our other key workers in the blue light emergency services such as
police, fire and ambulance services and the military returning back
to operational duties quickly and effectively. At the same time
this will also help to alleviate the pressure off the NHS and
emergency services."
Fundamentally once 'V-COVID(TM)" has been used to get the
critical care health workers back to work , then it can be used
under strict guidelines to gradually bring back other essential
workers and the rest of the UK workforce whilst continuing to
observe the safety guidelines of social distancing. This will help
the Government organise a gradual "back to work" campaign and
staged relaxing of the current lockdown restrictions. In doing so
this will also help to minimise any secondary wave of the virus
occurring and the lockdown measures being reintroduced which could
cripple the UK's fledgling economy with further stringent measures
put back in place."
It's unique technology means that 'V-COVID(TM)' can also be used
for the same validation and authentication process to be used in
tests for other viruses such as Ebola, Sars and Mers.
'"V-COVID(TM)" can also be used to authenticate vaccinations given
to the frontline key worker and confirm other key information such
as their underlying health issues, ICE details, medication and PPE
authorised to the key worker.
Most importantly 'V-COVID(TM)' can be used as a health passport
for regular screening and testing of all viruses. It will also help
strategically to ensure that with regular updates and testing there
is a reduced chance of a second wave of Corona Virus
infections.
Louis-James Davis continued;
"Working in tandem with the testing kits 'V-COVID(TM)' will not
only give the Government a unique digital health passport for key
workers and the public, but will also help assist with knowing how
many people have tested negative and positive in key regions. It
will also help to deploy resources into hotspots with a heat map in
areas where tests have recorded positively. This will also assist
the Government, the NHS and Health Care Trusts to manage and deploy
their resources and assets in a more effective way."
Critically 'V-COVID(TM)' will also help with a staged re
integration of the lockdown being lifted with key infrastructure
staff in financial services, banking, transport, travel and supply
chain services returning to work. Eventually all UK citizens would
take the corona virus test with 'V-COVID(TM)' and then either
remain in self isolation or return to work. The metric data would
also help the Government to ascertain precisely how many people
were still presenting symptoms, remaining in isolation and how many
had tested negative and returned to work.

About VCode(R) & VPlatform(R)
VCode(R) represents the next generation of code scanning
technology - an evolutionary step forward from traditional barcodes
and QR Codes. VCode(R) has an infinite range of applications and
capabilities from secure identification and ID, to geo location and
geo fencing, asset tracking, authentication and permission based
authorisations, fan and customer engagement through to biometrics
and facial recognition.
VCode(R) can be used across a wide range of applications to
securely purchase music, video and film content to concert and
sports event tickets. It can also be used to screen exclusive film
content, sales promotion and marketing and create dynamic marketing
and fan engagement campaigns. Its wider uses also include anti
counterfeiting and anti piracy. A VCode(R) can be scanned from over
100 metres, with a 80:1 distance to size scan ratio, at 170-degree
angles, on and from moving objects, and upon any multimedia or
television screen and even when the VCode(R) is microscopic on bank
notes or minerals. This allows users to access exclusive content,
check the validity and authenticity of an item and make purchases
while on the move. VCode(R) provides military grade encryption with
over 2.2 Quintillion combination codes.
Supporting the VCode(R) app is the VPlatform(R) - a secure cloud
based portal that allows users to create VCode(R) and manage the
content they lead to. The VPlatform(R) also provides users with
real time analytics on who scanned their codes, when and where the
scans took place, providing vital consumer data. The VPlatform(R)
enables push notifications and rewards to be sent back to
individuals who have made VCode(R) scans, offering opportunities
for brands to significantly enhance their engagement levels with
their client base.
