DHS founding Secretary Tom Ridge to discuss biometrics and risk-based safety at Daon event
Daon and hc1 will host a virtual round-table discussion on January 19 on the use of biometrics and how risk-based safety principles can help organizations quickly resume operations and create a prosperous new normal.
Former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge will participate in the discussion, along with Daon CEO Tom Grissen, hc1 CEO Brad Bostic and a panel of healthcare experts. The online event will be held from 1:00 to 2:30pm EST, and registration is required.
In a promotional video, Bostic compares the COVID-19 pandemic to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, in terms of how it will change health management in the U.S.
Ridge remarks in the video that 20 years ago when tasked with heading the infant DHS, “our approach was based on the premise that the very best technology, we thought at the time it was and still is biometrics, would remove barriers, and frankly they’re going to simplify daily life experiences.”
Grissen suggests Daon’s VeriFly can be used to provide proof of test results or vaccination while maintaining user control over the data, can deliver a safety dividend for society.
