The client's problem

The world society was faced with the problem of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which most activities were limited to protect the population. Thus, a procedure / platform was needed to re-establish secure mobility between EU countries.

In order to adapt to the situation and to European regulations, Catalan citizens had to hold a Covid Digital Certificate issued by the Department of Health issued by the Department of Health.

Main challenge

Respond by the CCD launch deadline, set by Europe
Respect the quality objectives and response times of the platform.
It also helps to define procedures that did not previously exist.

Solution

A cloud platform is built on Azure, with front-end on Angular and J2EE technology, plus a QR validity validation App. The clinical information is collected from the transactional systems of the Department; the authenticity and validity of the CCD information is achieved by means of a QR signed with a certificate, following the standards set by the EU.
