Students from the ICT Lab are digitising the Vaccination Certificate.

Last year, HBO students at the ICT lab worked hard on digitising the booklet for travellers' vaccinations. The paper 'yellow booklet' is not very user-friendly. Many people lose it and travellers often do not have a complete overview available, which can be desirable in case of medical care. In addition, anyone can add vaccinations, so the overview does not have to be accurate.

To provide a solution for this, the students used blockchain technology (Hyperledger). This technology enables only BIG-registered individuals to add vaccinations and gives the traveller a complete and verified overview of vaccinations, as well as control over (changes in) healthcare data.

The students successfully concluded this year with the delivery of the demo application.
