Overview
1Kosmos Identity Verification for MyChart empowers patients to prove who they are safely and instantly inside MyChart. When setting up a new account or resetting a password, patients can complete identity verification with a quick selfie and government ID scan, eliminating manual checks and administrative delays. Built to NIST IAL2 compliance, this solution delivers high-assurance identity proofing.
Under the hood, 1Kosmos applies a decentralized, multi-factor identity model that analyzes and cross-verifies biometric data, government-issued IDs, device identity, and authoritative third-party sources. This layered approach ensures that identity verification reaches IAL2/AAL2 assurance levels while minimizing the risk of impersonation or account takeover.
