VXPass by VXTechnologies (Health)

PROJECT OVERVIEW

• Product: VX Pass blockchain-based system for storing and verifying vaccination records

• Company Name: VXTechnologies

• LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vxtechnologies/about/

• Industry: Healthcare & Digital Identity

• Geographic Reach: Primarily Southern Africa, with global applicability

• BSV Integration Start Date: 2020

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Inefficiencies/Risks:

• Fragmented and inconsistent vaccination verification systems across African nations.

• Data silos and lack of standardized health record management across borders.

• Inability to confirm vaccination records quickly and reliably, particularly by non-health professionals.

• Risk of fraudulent or unverified vaccine documents leading to public health vulnerabilities.

Why Traditional Systems Were Insufficient:

Traditional systems lacked interoperability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness—especially for underfunded healthcare systems in Africa. Health records are sensitive and need secure, private handling, which existing systems couldn’t ensure when verification needed to be performed by non-health professionals.

WHY BSV?

Ideal Solution Because:

• Low transaction fees and scalability make BSV ideal for high-volume public health scenarios.

• Immutability and transparency ensure trust and prevent tampering of vaccination data.

• Peer-to-peer capabilities allow individuals to own and control access to their data.

• Supports real-time verification with minimal infrastructure burden.

Compared to Other Blockchains:BSV’s ability to handle large-scale data at minimal cost made it more suited than alternatives like Ethereum, which is costlier and less scalable in comparison.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

Overview:

VX Pass allows licensed healthcare practitioners to log verified COVID-19 vaccination records directly to the BSV blockchain. Individuals can present these digitally verifiable records without revealing sensitive personal data.

Key Components:

• Data Logging: Medical professionals record vaccination data via the VX Pass platform onto BSV.

• User Control: Users retain sovereignty over their health records and decide how and when to share them.

• Interoperability: Blockchain ensures records are accessible and verifiable across national borders, without custom integrations.

Partners/Vendors:

Local health departments and border authorities across southern African countries.IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Phases:

• Initial rollout during COVID-19 crisis.

• Expansion from pilot use in South Africa to additional Southern African nations (Lesotho, Botswana, Zimbabwe).

Integration:

• VX Pass operates independently but complements existing government infrastructure.

• Designed to be easy to adopt without requiring full ERP integration.

Training:

Focused on onboarding licensed healthcare providers and educating governments on the value of blockchain-based health records.

OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT

Quantifiable Improvements:

• Reduced burden on border and health authorities by eliminating manual verification.

• Time and cost savings for governments and citizens.

• Minimized fraud due to verifiable, immutable records.

Before vs After:

Previously: Disparate, untrustworthy documents and border confusion.

Now: Streamlined, interoperable, tamper-proof digital records that reduce administrative strain.

Stakeholder Feedback:

Governments and civil servants appreciate the ease of use and trustworthiness. End-users appreciate data ownership and privacy.

CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS

Challenges:

• Fragmented approaches by different countries.• Resistance to new tech and privacy concerns.

• Need for solutions to be affordable and simple.

Mitigation via BSV:

• Standardized blockchain format bridges diverse systems.

• Data sovereignty addresses privacy concerns.

• BSV’s low cost ensures accessibility in low-resource environments.

FUTURE VISION

Expansion Plans:

• Broader rollout across Africa and potentially other regions needing robust digital identity or health record systems.

• Application beyond vaccinations—into education, identity verification, and civil registration.

Additional BSV Functionalities to Explore:

• Micropayments for record access.

• Tokenized credentials for education and certifications.

• Integration with mobile-based identity wallets.

TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHTS

“Ours is to bring simple solutions—not only in how they get operated, but also in how they are priced. Don’t bring extra burden to the system. That is my objective, always.”

— VXTechnologies Representative

“We are putting those records in the hands of the owners, and by so doing, we are allowing the owners to decide how and when to share the records. That is this peer-to-peer transfer of data.”
