Two former participants variously in TechMarketView’s Little British Battler, Great British Scaleup and Innovation Partner Programmes have hit the headlines with the announcement that their design for a simple, secure and widely recognized Covid-19 immunity and vaccination passport will now move into live testing.
Mvine and iProov received backing from Innovate UK, which initially funded the development of a successful working prototype. The Mvine-iProov passport will now be tested by Directors of Public Health within the NHS. Mvine and iProov aim to complete two trials by 31 March 2021.
At the end of last year, Mvine was selected by UK financial services organisation, TISA, to help it to develop a test hub to manage the flow of digital identities between financial services and identity providers (see Mvine helps TISA drive digital identity initiative). Earlier in the year, facial verification technology from iProov was deployed to verify users signing up to NHS login from the NHS App (see NHS Login deploys facial verification tech from SME iProov).
It’s great to see two UK SMEs working together for the greater good.
