Digital Transformation

myAllergy is in the process of its digital transformation with a lens on deploying its cross-platform myAllergy Passport solution. Through the apps, users can upload valuable allergen information and share it with family, friends, colleagues, participating businesses, emergency contacts, and others. With the need to securely store such sensitive health data, accompanied by the desire to propel the myAllergy Passport design and scalability, myAllergy has partnered with IBM’s Hyper Protect Accelerator to further build and scale its business.

Solution Components

Deploying both the mobile and web applications through IBM Hyper Protect Virtual Servers, as well as IBM’s Hyper Protect Database as a Service (DBaaS) for PostgreSQL, myAllergy is granted exclusive control over all workloads and data within secure virtual environments. The inherent isolation and container encryption of the IBM Virtual Servers help support fault tolerance, while the IBM DBaaS enables the protection of sensitive data without the need for a database admin. In turn, IBM’s services safeguard, shield, and strengthen myAllergy community data.

Effectively, IBM Hyper Protect has the highest level of protection for our customers’ personal information and health data. myAllergy knows that businesses and consumers want their data secure while respectful to their privacy. With IBM Hyper Protect, this box is ticked…in bold!
