PRESS RELEASE: Daybreak Health Joins the CommonTrust Network, Enabling Trusted Health Data for Global Travel
Network includes testing and vaccination providers in 28 countries committed to empowering patients with verifiable digital health certificates based on open, interoperable standards
(NEW YORK CITY)-- April 14, 2021 -- Daybreak Health and The Commons Project Foundation today announced that Daybreak Health is the latest member to join the CommonTrust Network, a global network of public and private stakeholders committed to empowering individuals with digital access to their health information in an open, interoperable and verifiable way.
As countries seek to relax border restrictions, quarantines and lock-downs, they need a more reliable, trustworthy and efficient way to validate the health status of incoming travelers. Even with low passenger volumes, airports around the world have been plagued with long lines as airline staff and border guards scrutinize easily forged paper-based test and vaccination certificates. Health pass apps and QR codes can help, but only if the test results or vaccination records they contain are verifiable and come from trusted sources.
The Commons Project Foundation and the World Economic Forum launched the CommonTrust Network in collaboration with a broad, voluntary network of public and private stakeholders to help ensure that only verifiable lab results and vaccination records from trusted sources are presented for the purposes of cross-border travel and commerce. The CommonTrust Network serves as a global registry of trusted laboratory, vaccination and health record data sources. It is operated on a not-for-profit basis as an open, shared service for the common good.
Daybreak Health was founded in the spring of 2020 with the goal of creating dynamic solutions to combat the spread of COVID-19. In less than one year, Daybreak has become an industry leader by offering mobile, rapid PCR molecular testing, lab-based PCR testing, and vaccinations in the New York area. With a patient-first focus enhanced by proprietary logistics software, Daybreak has become the go-to COVID response unit for the film and television industry, schools, hotels, and corporations.
“The announcement of the partnership between The CommonTrust Network and Daybreak Health marks the beginning of a new era in digital healthcare,” said Chris Morris, CEO, Daybreak Health. “Daybreak’s core values include patient safety, trust, and transparency. These values have allowed Daybreak to set the industry standard during the response to COVID-19, and we plan to work with CommonTrust to deliver top notch healthcare around the world.”
