HealthChampion, a leading digital health and analytics company, recently released its secure COVID-19 vaccination card upload feature in its mobile app. Leveraging the existing platform that has been utilized by employers nationwide for symptom assessment since the start of the pandemic and, later, for vaccination tracking, this timely companion feature is free to all users and provides enhanced privacy for health data.
The app provides multiple layers of security for users’ Protected Health Information (PHI) by keeping it secure and encrypted on its HIPAA-compliant platform. Unlike the traditional method of saving a card photo to one’s phone’s photo library, uploading the card to the HealthChampion app provides additional protection. The vaccination card feature offers two additional levels of authentication: a secure login as well as biometric authentication.
“Because data security is a key focus at HealthChampion, we felt it was the highest priority to offer a safe, HIPAA-compliant solution for COVID-19 vaccination card storage,” says Terrence M. Ryan, CEO of HealthChampion. “It was equally important that this feature be available to all our users at no cost, as the need for keeping health information secure is essential to all patients and providers. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to patient outcomes and privacy.”
