The VCI idea depends upon a common platform from which digital wallets can be created, and on the VCI website they call for "Participating organizations to commit to implementing, testing, and refining the SMART Health Cards Framework within their sphere of influence."
Josh Mandel, one of the main developers behind VCI's SMART health cards system, said once that a complete universal digital identity is 'essential' to the effort of creating digital vaccination passes.
On their website, the group uses the term 'digital wallet' often and notes that SMART Health Cards could soon be used as digital IDs for all activities, including travel and every purchase an individual makes during commercial activity.
In partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Rockefeller Foundation - as well as an almost endless list of corporations and government agencies - the Commons Project Foundation created the CommonPass.
"iRespond, an international non-profit organization that is"dedicated to using biometrics to improve lives through digital identity," has begun piloting a new biometric program for newborns among the predominately Karen refugee population along the Myanmar-Thailand border The pilot program is being conducted as part of the controversial ID2020 alliance, backed by Microsoft, the GAVI vaccine alliance, and the Rockefeller Foundation iRespond is partnered with Mastercard, another ID2020 partner that is closely allied with the company, Trust Stamp, a biometric identity platform that also doubles as a vaccine record and payment system.
The push for a universal digital wallet with an all-encompassing universal digital ID came long before the onset of COVID-19.
Thanks to the GAVI vaccine alliance, which is funded in large part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Trust Stamp, and Mastercard, the pilot program gained new life during the height of the pandemic.
