Biometric Medical Record Authentication for Venue Access Screening
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing screening measures for venues cannot guarantee that individuals are free of harmful viruses, potentially leading to virus spread among attendees.
Innovation Solution
A medical test results and identity authentication system that authenticates an individual's identity and provides real-time access to vaccination and/or viral antibody test results using biometric information and identification cards.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional screening measures (temperature checks, hand washing) are used, then the screening process is simple and quick, but they cannot guarantee that individuals are free of harmful viruses
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary authentication system that acts as a mediator between individuals and venues. This system uses biometric authentication and centralized medical record verification to bridge the gap between simple screening and reliable virus detection, allowing venues to verify medical records without direct complex testing equipment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by requiring individuals to obtain authentication and store their medical records (vaccination status, test results) in advance before visiting venues. This pre-verification process ensures that when individuals arrive at venues, the screening is already complete, providing reliable virus detection capability without complex on-site testing
2Object-affected harmful factors
If real-time medical record verification is implemented, then virus transmission is reduced, but the authentication process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical verification processes with automated electronic systems. Biometric authentication (fingerprint, facial recognition) substitutes for manual ID checking, and automated database verification replaces manual medical record review. This substitution reduces virus transmission through contactless verification while managing system complexity through automation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements self-service by allowing individuals to store their own medical records and authentication data in personal devices or centralized databases. When verification is needed, the system automatically retrieves and validates this information without requiring complex manual intervention, thus reducing virus transmission while keeping the authentication process relatively simple

AI summary
A system and method that enables users to provide authenticated medical records (e.g., vaccination records, viral anti-body test results, etc.) to a third-party (e.g., a venue) to gain access to the third-party is provided. In this way, the third party may confirm that the user is sufficiently immune to a particular disease (e.g., COVID-19) and may thereby minimize the threat of the user introducing the contagious disease to the third party. The system includes a biometric data recognition system that authenticates the identity of a user, a medical records acquisition system that acquires the medical records of the authenticated user, and a system for the displaying or otherwise providing the medical records to the third-party for review. The system also includes a system identification card that includes the user's contact information, alphanumeric characters associated with the user's driver's license number, medical records of the user, and other elements.
