iProov, world-leaders in spoof-resistant biometric authentication technology, is continuing to provide services free of charge to start-ups supporting the coronavirus crisis.
bloomd, a digital community which facilitates intergenerational exchange of knowledge, experience and companionship in a fun and safe way, has launched in the US and UK. The online community enables anyone looking for mentorship, knowledge-sharing or simply companionship, to connect with other people of different ages.

The launch of the platform, originally planned for later this year, was brought forward to help support those impacted by loneliness or isolation during the pandemic.
bloomd offers:
- Simple sign up – the bloomd platform is open to everyone over the age of 16, with a simple onboarding process stripped of any unnecessary steps that might put users off.
- Usability – the web application has been designed with older generations in mind, who may find technology overwhelming. The platform allows them to easily share experiences via chat messages, phone or video calls, all without needing to share any personal contact information.
- Security – the integration of iProov biometric authentication will act as a ‘virtual doorkeeper’ to reduce the risk of repeat trolling or fraudulent behavior, making bloomd safer and more authentic than other online forums.
Andrew Bud, Founder and CEO, iProov said: “The idea of an intergenerational digital community allowing knowledge-sharing and companionship is inspired. The addition of biometric authentication ensures that members can be safeguarded as they participate, helping to protect them from abuse or criminal behavior.”
“The bloomd vision of enabling the old and young to communicate safely online is very much aligned with iProov’s mission and we are proud to be supporting their work.”
