Why use NFC healthcare ID cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet?
Frictionless experience
NFC healthcare membership passes work just like Apple Pay or Google Pay. Patients simply tap their phone or Apple Watch on a reader for super-fast check-in, without having to search for an app, QR code, physical card or key fob.
Improved operations
Mobile wallet healthcare ID passes reduce the costs and delays incurred with physical card printing, distribution and replacement. NFC also eliminates the risk of patient account sharing with lower security QR codes or magnetic swipe cards.
Contact free
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the level of contact between clinicians and visitors to healthcare facilities needs to be minimised. Using a ‘just tap’ NFC Wallet interaction to validate service users avoids the risk of virus transmission through unnecessary contact.

Why is check-in better with VTAP?
Empower your management systems to have more direct control over services offered to your patients in GP surgeries, hospitals and pharmacies.
Empower patient apps
Apple Wallet and Google Wallet NFC passes work perfectly alongside your existing patient app using an in-app button to add the digital NFC ID into the wallet. The frictionless wallet pass is used with on-site readers, collecting data for better patient management.
Easy migration to NFC
VTAP readers simplify migration to the ‘just tap’ NFC experience for GP surgery check-in and collection of prescriptions in pharmacies. A universal range of a connectivity options ensures NFC wallet readers can be quickly and easily integrated into any existing system.
Improved security
Unlike QR codes, NFC passes cannot be copied through screen grabs and shared with other patients. NFC-enabled digital membership passes are protected by the strong security of Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, being securely read by certified VTAP readers.
Why does VTAP make healthcare ID upgrade easier?
VTAP technology is designed for use by healthcare providers, pharmacies, member patient management system providers and technology integrators.

VTAP readers work with RFID cards, tags, wristbands and key fobs, enabling support for, and migration from, existing healthcare ID technologies. Readers can be used to directly replace existing QR code scanners, control them or work seamlessly alongside them.
NFC pass integrations
Works with any Apple Wallet and Google Wallet pass issuance platform that supports NFC, using the standard Apple and Google developer APIs. Many wallet pass and credential issuance platforms and healthcare ID providers are already integrated with VTAP.
Apple and Google certified
