Centralized Health Verification System for Anonymous Entry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for anonymous health verification, such as those using blockchain, are resource-intensive and complex, making them inefficient for verifying health status at venue entry points without compromising anonymity or requiring additional personal information.
Innovation Solution
A centralized server-based system that allows individuals to anonymously share their health status with a third party, using a mobile app and QR codes to verify compliance with health protocols, enabling trusted health assessments without revealing identities, and allowing supervisors or medical advisors to adjust assessments for special conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If blockchain is used to share and verify anonymous information, then anonymity is preserved, but communication and processing resources are consumed excessively and system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a centralized server as an intermediary between individuals and third parties. The server stores health status information and performs verification, eliminating the need for complex peer-to-peer blockchain networks. This intermediary approach maintains anonymity while dramatically reducing system complexity and resource consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the distributed consensus mechanism of blockchain with a centralized verification system. Instead of requiring multiple nodes to validate transactions and maintain ledgers, a single trusted server performs verification, substituting the complex mechanical blockchain structure with a simpler centralized architecture that achieves the same anonymity verification goal.
2Reliability
If blockchain is used for health verification, then anonymity is maintained, but communication and processing resources are consumed excessively
Solution Approach 1:
The centralized server acts as an intermediary that consolidates verification operations. Instead of distributing communication and processing across multiple blockchain nodes (which consumes excessive resources), all verification requests are handled by a single server, dramatically reducing total communication and processing resource consumption while maintaining anonymity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent discards the resource-intensive blockchain infrastructure in favor of a simpler centralized system. By abandoning the distributed ledger approach and its associated computational overhead, the system recovers significant communication and processing resources while achieving the same health verification function with reduced resource consumption.
3Device complexity
If a centralized server is used instead of blockchain, then system complexity and resource consumption are reduced, but trust in the server becomes critical
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where the server provides verification results to both individuals and third parties. This transparent feedback loop builds trust by allowing users to verify that the server is performing its function correctly, while the server's centralized nature maintains simplicity. The feedback mechanism reassures users that anonymity is preserved and verification is accurate.

AI summary
A system and method of testing, recording, tracking, and verifying the health of an individual to other persons while providing confidence that the individual user has taken and reported to at least one medical measurement, and this measurement has been identified as normal or not normal to the specific individual user, is provided. A medical instrument which is self-administered by the said individual user and a Green Screen Health Verification System (GS-HVS) server are provided. Software that contains prearranged decisions and protocols to provide guidance to said individual user and to an individual user's supervisor and records any abnormal reporting from said individual user and provides alerts based on said protocol. Software returns guidance from said GS-HVS server to said individual user, and upon said GS-HVS indicting that said individual user has good health, software displays a good health status or “Green Screen” on said individual user's said mobile device.
