CLEAR, the secure identity company, has announced a collaboration with the Mount Sinai Health System to enhance digital experiences for both patients and employees. Mount Sinai will be the first health system in New York City to deploy CLEAR1 — CLEAR's secure identity platform — to power a single, interoperable identity across the Mount Sinai ecosystem.

Why it matters

This collaboration aims to strengthen cybersecurity and infrastructure networks while making it easier for patients and employees to securely access the care and services they need. It aligns with Mount Sinai's commitment to digital innovation and providing safer, simpler, and more connected care for the communities it serves.

The details

CLEAR1 will be integrated into core platforms like EHRs, patient portals, and clinician tools to streamline account creation, access, and recovery. By unifying digital channels with check-in touchpoints, the integration is expected to increase digital check-in adoption, reduce duplicate records, and enable Mount Sinai to redirect staff hours back to patient care.
