Balancing epidemic control and work resumption, GBASE powers Tianjin’s “Health Code” for COVID-19 response and business recovery.

Tianjin’s “Health Code” for epidemic prevention and work resumption relies on the city’s “Government Service One-Netcom” platform, which uses GBase 8s, a secure database management system independently developed by GBASE, as the data platform for identity authentication. Supported by the security features of GBase 8s, health code data enjoys stronger protection. Leveraging the high concurrency of GBase 8s, the platform provides unified identity authentication to generate health codes for all residents of the city.
 

Recently, as the COVID-19 epidemic steadily became more controllable, more and more enterprises in Tianjin have returned to full operation. During the resumption, the growing movement of people has increased pressure on personnel management and raised the risk of infection caused by crowds at checkpoints. Using big data tools to scientifically manage people’s movements—making epidemic control traceable, manageable, and avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach—has become the top priority in ongoing epidemic prevention.

Leveraging big data platforms to support epidemic control and work resumption

To strengthen epidemic prevention and control, Tianjin is fully utilizing big data platforms to aid both epidemic response and work resumption and to make epidemic prevention more scientific and accurate. The city will implement the “Health Code” for epidemic prevention and work resumption across the entire municipality, comprehensively assessing individuals’ health risk levels and making normal travel and the return to work easier for citizens.

The “Health Code” primarily adopts a three-color dynamic management system—green, orange, and red—realizing “one-time application, citywide validity, dynamic management, and classified control.” It enables quick QR-code scanning for personnel verification and registration, uses the system to lock down the movement and contact scope of individuals, and records related information. Once a concern arises with a mobile individual, relevant contacts can be immediately identified to implement control measures. By combining online and offline approaches and integrating human prevention with technical prevention, big data tools empower overall epidemic prevention and work resumption with smart capabilities.
 

The “Health Code” relies on Tianjin’s “Government Service One-Netcom” platform, which uses GBase 8s, a secure database management system independently developed by GBASE, as the data platform for identity authentication. GBase 8s is a high-end commercial relational database independently developed by GBASE, drawing on the stable framework of mature commercial database products and built upon sixteen years of database product R&D experience. With the security features of GBase 8s as the backbone, health code data is even more secure. Leveraging the high concurrency of GBase 8s, the platform provides unified identity authentication to generate health codes for all citizens. During the health code rollout, GBASE technical support staff provided 24/7 on-duty support, fully safeguarding the “Health Code” to ensure flawless operation.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, GBASE has proactively taken on social responsibility, fully harnessed its big data platform strengths, and continuously contributed to both epidemic prevention and socio-economic development in Tianjin, striving for dual success and driving the fight against the epidemic with the power of technology.
