How to Use Affinidi Console — A Sample User Journey

Affinidi Console is a one-stop shop that provides a suite of tools that make it easy for builders to create personalized and privacy-preserving applications. It provides data control and ownership to end-users, and empowers you to leverage the advantages of a decentralized data ecosystem.

With Affinidi Console, you can access many services that work on top of Affinidi’s APIs. Also, you can unlock and verify fully portable Verifiable Credentials (VCs) — tamper-evident and W3C-standard digital credentials that can be verified cryptographically.

Here’s an example of how you can use the Affinidi Console to build privacy-preserving apps.

Meet Kate — a rockstar software engineer who wants to build an app called MedScore that rewards people for healthy behavior. She envisages users to input their medical records into the app and qualify for special services and discounts based on certain conditions.

As her app deals with sensitive patient data, she wants to protect their privacy and comply with standards like GDPR. Based on these business goals, she lists her requirements.

Requirements

MedScore’s requirements include,

• Signup — At the time of registration, she wants to gather customers’ informed consent.
• Verification of patient records — Once the patient uploads their health records and documents, she wants her app to verify their authenticity.
• Qualification for rewards — Next, her app must compute a health score based on the entered records and decide if a patient qualifies for rewards or discounts.
• Storage — Kate wants to give users the option to store the digitized version of their patient records securely.
• Sharing — She wants users to be able to safely and securely share their sensitive data with healthcare providers.

As you can see, data management and privacy are some of the core tenets of MedScore, so she wants to understand how Affinidi Console can help.

Using Affinidi Console

Affinidi Console is the perfect no-dev tooling platform for Kate’s requirements, and let’s see how.

• Signup — Affinidi’s Consent Manager displays your terms and conditions and gathers user consent at signup. All she has to do is create a privacy policy and enter it on the Consent Manager’s admin widget.
• Verification — Digital Check and Paper Check can verify the data on both digital and paper records, respectively.
• Assessing Qualification — Kate can leverage the superpowers of Rules Builder to set the criteria for qualification.
• Storage — Edge and cloud wallets securely store patients’ data and put users in control of their information.
• Sharing — Bulk Issuance and Schema Manager enable her customers to share their data in a standardized format with healthcare providers.

By leveraging Affinidi Console, Kate saves hours of development, and at the same time, she builds her dream project in a few hours.

Building privacy-preserving apps doesn’t get easier than this.
