CLEARED4 is unique in that every tech and design decision is informed by medical science. In Q1 2020, Dr. Soumi Eachempati, CLEARED4 co-founder and CEO, was a front-line ER physician helping treat COVID-19 patients.. He quickly pivoted to create the CLEARED4 health verification platform - a technology that would help prevent outbreaks of infectious diseases to keep our world safe and open. With his technology and business partner, Ashley John Heather, they created a SaaS-driven, cloud-based platform that checks all the boxes for enterprise IT.
With the changing nature of the COVID-19 virus and new mandates rolling out each week (vaccination requirements, mask enforcement, etc.), CLEARED4 is constantly adjusting and restructuring to service its clients. The platform provides COVID-19 testing and verification solutions, along with symptom monitoring, contact tracing, building access control, and privacy-first reporting dashboards.
The web servers are 100% server-less that scales automatically on demand. It also scales indefinitely and automatically when the amount of data and traffic increases. There is no need to set up more servers for the CLEARED4 platform, it is 100% automatic. Data stored in CLEARED4’s platform is encrypted before it is written to disc with 256-bit AES. Each encryption key is also encrypted with a regularly rotated set of master keys.
The database is set up with strict security rules, controlling access for different users on a data level. Tools used by administrators and employers use two-factor authentication with email, password, and one-time-code sent to SMS with activity logged. HIPAA, FERPA, and other compliances are supported by the CLEARED4 platform. The platform is also in compliance with all the latest COVID-19 guidelines from the FDA, CDC, and state governments.
The benefits of CLEARED4 are vast. Productivity and business continuity are increased by only allowing individuals who meet specific health criteria to access buildings ensuring no loss of productivity due to illness. By staying open and fully operational, organizations are able to continue to produce goods/services and generate revenue.
