Cassava Fintech International (CFI), a subsidiary of the Econet Group, has launched the Sasai Health Status Report (SHSR), a secure blockchain technology-supported solution expected to digitise the testing process, establish citizens’ COVID-19 status, enable them to share their testing results through a digital platform and help businesses safely get employees back to work as economies reopen, following restrictive lockdowns.
“The Sasai Health Status Report will, at the point of testing, capture a person’s COVID-19 health status which they can confidentially share, at the user’s discretion, with those who need to know – such as one’s family members and their employers – in a manner that respects personal data privacy and using secure blockchain technology,” Mandivenga said.
The use of the technology in the design of the health status report will be seen as a crucial firewall embedded in the platform against counterfeit tests and fake test kits.
He said because of the use of blockchain technology in the SHSR architecture, the platform will be able to validate whether or not test kits used across the report’s supply chain are counterfeit or fake.
“The Health Status Report has an extra security layer that ensures all personal and medical information is in a secure environment and is tamper-proof, such that bogus or unrecognised tests cannot be authenticated on the platform,” Mushoriwa said.
