Health QR code to play bigger role
Shanghai is to promote use of the health QR code in more areas of residents’ daily life, officials said yesterday.
The health code on the Suishenban app was launched in February as part of the prevention and control of COVID-19, a green pass for public areas such as airports, hospitals and office buildings.
With the support of big data technology, it has been upgraded with more functions over the past few months, including medical services and special versions for enterprises and family members.
So far, the health code has been used over 1.2 billion times by more than 34 million users. About 232,000 users were from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and abroad.
Zhao Qi, the government’s deputy secretary general, said that by the end of 2021, the QR code will be built as an integrated platform and open ecosystem with digital services in the fields of social governance, urban construction and transport, cultural tourism and sports, judicial management, sports events, credit rights and more.
Suishenban has a protection mechanism to ensure user data security, including a double security algorithm and dynamic QR code technology.
In May, Suishenban was connected with health registration for swimming pools, allowing residents to enter more quickly. Currently, it has been introduced at 155 swimming pools across the city.
In late July, the city’s transport commission added the transport QR code to Suishenban, allowing travelers to take buses, the Metro and ferries using only one app.
Zhongshan Hospital in Xuhui District was among the first to use the health code to replace the traditional medical insurance card. Patients can use it to register, pay bills and get e-invoices on their smartphones instead of queuing up.
