  • Patent number: 11589219
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates exposure notification, and in particular to techniques for verification of positive test results from public health authorities where individuals submit notice using public health approved mobile applications for exposure notification and/or contact tracing. When an individual attempts to submit a positive test result notification in a mobile application, the associated device's mobile number will be requested. This mobile number will then be sent a verification code to be entered in the application. At this point, these codes shall be stored digitally in escrow. A regular data feed from a health authority shall be provided that shall include an agreed encryption (irreversibly encrypted or reversibly encrypted) of the mobile numbers associated with any reported test. Any results submitted in the application that have a matching encryption of the mobile numbers shall be released from the escrow for subsequent notification.
