AUTHENTICATED HEALTH CREDENTIAL ACCESS METHODS AND APPARATUS
A method for a system includes receiving with a first transceiver of an identity reader device, an ephemeral ID from a first smart device, outputting with the first transceiver, identity reader data to the first smart device, wherein the identity reader data comprises a first identifier and a challenge, receiving with the first transceiver, responsive data from the first smart device, wherein the responsive data comprises token data and contact tracing status of the first smart device, determining in a processor of the identity reader device, whether the first smart device is authorized in response to the ephemeral ID or the token data, and the contact tracing status, and directing with the processor, a peripheral device coupled to the identity reader device to perform a user-perceptible action in response to the processor determining that the first smart device is authorized.
1 . A method at an identity reader device, comprising:
receiving an ephemeral identifier (ID) from a smart device, wherein the ephemeral ID is based at least in part on user information associated with a user of the smart device;
receiving biometric data associated with the user from the smart device;
determining a presence of a health anomaly associated with the user based at least in part on the biometric data, the ephemeral ID, or both; and
transmitting at least a portion of the biometric data associated with the health anomaly to an external device based at least in part on determining the presence of the health anomaly.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying an alert associated with the presence of the health anomaly.

transmitting an indication of the presence of the health anomaly to the external device based at least in part on determining the presence of the health anomaly.
4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
displaying a recommendation for the user to visit a health department based at least in part on determining the presence of the health anomaly.
5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
comparing the biometric data to one or more biometric thresholds based at least in part on receiving the biometric data, wherein determining the presence of the health anomaly is based at least in part on comparing the biometric data to the one or more biometric thresholds.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining one or more actions engaged in by the user based at least in part on the biometric data; and
adjusting one or more biometric thresholds for evaluating the health anomaly based at least in part on the one or more actions, wherein determining the presence of the health anomaly is based at least in part on adjusting the one or more biometric thresholds.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
controlling access of the smart device, the user, or both, to a peripheral device associated with the identity reader device based at least in part on whether the user, the smart device, or both, is authorized to access the peripheral device, and based at least in part on the presence of the health anomaly.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein controlling access to the peripheral device comprises:
directing the peripheral device to perform a user-perceptible action based at least in part on the user, the smart device, or both, being authorized to access the peripheral device, and based at least in part on the health anomaly; or
preventing the peripheral device from performing the user-perceptible action based at least in part on the user, the smart device, or both, not being authorized to access the peripheral device, based at least in part on the health anomaly, or both.
9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining whether or not the user, the smart device, or both, is authorized to access a peripheral device associated with the identity reader device based at least in part on the ephemeral ID.
10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the ephemeral ID does not include any personal identifiable information associated with the user.
11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the smart device comprises a smart wearable device, a smart phone, or both, and wherein the identity reader device comprises a check-in device, a kiosk, or both.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric data associated with the user comprises temperature data, heart rate data, blood oxygen saturation data, respiration rate data, movement data, a fingerprint, voice data, retinal scan data, or any combination thereof.
13 . An identity reader device, comprising:
a communication component;
a memory; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled with the communication component and the memory, wherein the one or more processors are configured to:
receive via the communication component, an ephemeral identifier (ID) from a smart device, wherein the ephemeral ID is based at least in part on user information associated with a user of the smart device;
receive, via the communication component, biometric data associated with the user from the smart device;
determine a presence of a health anomaly associated with the user based at least in part on the biometric data, the ephemeral ID, or both; and
transmit, to an external device via the communication component, at least a portion of the biometric data associated with the health anomaly based at least in part on determining the presence of the health anomaly.
14 . The identity reader device of claim 13 , further comprising:
a display component configured to display an alert associated with the presence of the health anomaly.
15 . The identity reader device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
transmit an indication of the presence of the health anomaly to the external device based at least in part on determining the presence of the health anomaly.
16 . The identity reader device of claim 13 , further comprising:
a display component configured to display a recommendation for the user to visit a health department based at least in part on determining the presence of the health anomaly.
17 . The identity reader device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:
compare the biometric data to one or more biometric thresholds based at least in part on receiving the biometric data, wherein determining the presence of the health anomaly is based at least in part on comparing the biometric data to the one or more biometric thresholds.
