(CNN) – If you are feeling trapped after months and months of pandemic, you are not alone.
Many are eager to travel again, but proof of vaccination may be required when traveling.
Smartphone apps like CommonPass are being created to allow users to upload a COVID-19 test result or, eventually, a vaccination voucher.
It generates a QR code that can be scanned to enter stadiums, cinemas and even other countries without revealing confidential information.
When traveling, the user can also check the application to see the COVID-19 rules based on their itinerary.
IBM has also developed an application called Digital Health Pass.
The app allows businesses and locations to customize what they need to get in, including COVID-19 tests, temperature checks and vaccination records, which would be stored in a mobile wallet.
For those without a smartphone, some companies are also working on a smart card that strikes a compromise between traditional paper vaccine certificates and an online version that is easier to store and reproduce.
CommonPass and IBM emphasized privacy as central to their initiatives.
IBM says it allows users to control and consent to the use of their health data and allows them to choose the level of detail they want to provide to authorities.
