Clear CEO Makes Case For Share Of Lucrative Bbiometric Digital Health Credential Market

People will get used to widespread health screening. That point was emphasized in an interview of Clear Chairman and CEO Caryn Seidman-Becker by CNBC about the company’s attempt to leverage its biometric identity capabilities to corner the multi billion-dollar digital health credential market.

Clear launched its Health Pass in May to provide a health credential that shares the user’s health status without divulging further personal information by linking health data with a digital ID with facial recognition. The health data is supplied in the app’s initial form by a questionnaire, but the app is architected to accept data from other sources, such as test results, or perhaps in the future vaccination records.

How widely will access be controlled in this way?

“People are accustomed to moving through an airport security check, and that’s the sentiment that many hospitality companies are saying, is that health screening would need to be the sort of thing that people get used to,” IDC Senior Research Analyst for Hospitality and Travel Digital Transformation Strategies Dorothy Creamer told CNBC.

In addition to Clear’s established markets at airports and sports facilities, that means restaurants and hotels, which industries Creamer sees increased demand from.

CNBC notes that IDC has forecast the market for apps and other software supporting business reopening at $4.3 billion.

“Just like screening was forever changed post-9/11, in a post-COVID environment you’re going to see screening and public safety significantly shift, but this time it’s beyond airports,” Seidman-Becker told CNBC in the interview.

“While we started with travel, at our core we’re a biometric secure identity platform,” she added.

The Tony Blair Institute has come out in favor of digital health credential secured with biometrics, but the World Health Organization has warned that the implementation of “immunity passports” could lead to increased risk of virus spread, the direct opposite of its intended effect.

Shortly after Health Pass was announced, a pair of U.S. Senators asked for a response from Clear to a series of questions about data privacy within 30 days, which means a response is expected within the next several days.

Clear has also been named to CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list, placing 39th. The company was number 22 on the same list in 2019. In its write-up, CNBC acknowledges that Clear’s travel facilitation business has been greatly impacted for the worse by the pandemic so far, but goes on to explain Health Pass.

Of course. So has Bill Gates. They've all wanted this for years, and so far things have gone well for them due to the Plandemic response, which went better than anyone expected I guess.

But let's see what the future holds. People are starting to wake up. And it doesn't take a majority. Just 5% of the population resisting and making a stink about things could go a long way towards building a real grass-roots response that could become a full-blown revolution.

People are leaving the cities in mass, and the revolution will start in the burbs, and rural areas, with hopefully enough "woke" sheriffs to participate, while the cities burn and turn into chaos. It's not going to be red state vs. blue state anymore, soon it is going to be rural vs. cities. Dallas Texas will be just as bad as LA. And the rural areas in the Central Coast and Northern areas of California (where many of the sheriffs are very conservative and pro-second Amendment) will be just as safe, or even safer, as the rural areas of Texas, where there is much more corruption in the rural areas.

And the food will be in the rural areas. People better be thinking about organizing militias now, especially if you already know you have a sheriff who is corrupt and can't be trusted.

It's going to be a bumpy ride, that's for sure.

Not likely.

TSA is never going away. In fact, Clear, who has existing contracts and makes the tech products for TSA, will utilize biometric tech to make 10-fold.
