Seed Funding, Immunity Tech, Mobile ID and More: This Week’s Top Stories

March 20, 2021

Seed Funding, Immunity Tech, Mobile ID and More: This Week's Top Stories

This week’s roundup of Mobile ID World’s top stories features a healthy dose of vaccination-related items, and some innovative mobile technology.

First, though, some news concerning building excitement about a passwordless authentication startup. LoginID, which integrated Ipsidy’s biometric identity verification technology into its platform last year, announced that it has raised $6 million through a seed funding round. A number of prominent FinTech investors got involved, and one of them – Damien Balsan – joined LoginID’s Advisory Board:

Readers also showed a lot of interest in tech innovations for the post-pandemic reopening. One of them concerned Daon’s VeriFLY immunity passport solution, a mobile credential designed to enable end users to confirm their health status. Hyatt Hotels Corporation will be trialing the solution to ensure that visitors and staff are COVID-negative, or else have been vaccinated against the virus:

Nuance Communications, meanwhile, is using its technology to try to help people get their vaccinations. Readers showed sustained interest this week in the news that Walgreens has deployed Nuance’s Intelligent Engagement conversational AI technology to help customers book COVID vaccination appointments over the phone:

There was also some mobile biometrics news this week, with OPPO once again integrating Goodix’s in-display fingerprint sensor technology into one of its phones. In this case, it’s OPPO’s latest flagship offering, the Find X3 Pro, which also features Goodix’s Smart Amplifiers and VoiceExperience solutions, as well as a sophisticated camera system, a Snapdragon 888 processor, and a hefty price tag:

Finally, readers showed continuing interest in the latest development in IDEMIA’s efforts to pioneer mobile-based, virtual driver’s licenses. The company has developed a Mobile ID app for use in the state of Iowa that meets ISO/IEC DIS 18013-5 standards for mobile driver’s licenses. That means its Mobile ID solution is just as reliable as a biometric passport for identity verification:
