Method, apparatus, and system for identifying the health status of a person

An apparatus for identifying health status comprising:

• a sensor for sensing at least one vital sign of a user;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• receive a request from a service provider to confirm a health status of the user based on a device entering a geo-fenced location;
• generate a non-persistent identifier for the user when requested through an application associated with the apparatus to confirm the health status of the user,
• wherein the non-persistent identifier for the user comprises an identifier to be used to identify the user only until a conclusion of an event;
• receive an indication of an initiation of a health challenge for the user;
• receive, responsive to the health challenge, an indication of at least one vital sign of the user from the sensor;
• determine, from the at least one vital sign, the health status of the user;
• and
• provide an indication of the health status of the user and the non-persistent identifier to the service provider,
• wherein the health status of the user comprises a binary indication of health of the user, and wherein the health status of the user is broadcast by the apparatus to permit or deny a service to the user,
• wherein the service includes entry past a security checkpoint.

A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable program code portions stored therein, the computer-executable program code portions comprising program code instructions configured to:

• receive a request from a service provider to confirm a health status of a user based on a device entering a geo-fenced location at an airport;
• generate a non-persistent identifier for the user when requested through an application on a mobile device to confirm the health status of the user,
• wherein the non-persistent identifier for the user comprises an identifier to be used to identify the user only until a conclusion of an airplane traveling event;
• receive an indication of an initiation of a health challenge for the user;
• receive, responsive to the health challenge, an indication of at least one vital sign of the user from a sensor;
• determine, from the at least one vital sign, the health status of the user;
• and
• provide the indication of the health status and the non-persistent identifier to a service provider, wherein the health status comprises a binary indication of health of the user, and wherein the health status is broadcast by the mobile device to permit or deny a service to the user,
• wherein the service includes entry past a security checkpoint.
