First health system in New York City to deploy CLEAR1, providing seamless experience for employees and patients

NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CLEAR (NYSE: YOU), the secure identity company, today announced a collaboration with the Mount Sinai Health System (Mount Sinai) that will enhance digital experiences for both patients and employees and reinforce both organizations' commitment to healthcare innovation.

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.

As one of the largest academic medical systems in the New York metro area, Mount Sinai touches the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers every year across seven hospitals, more than 400 outpatient sites, over 600 research and clinical labs, its school of nursing, and its leading school of medicine and graduate education. With CLEAR1, Mount Sinai plans to provide employees and patients with a modern and enhanced way to identify themselves when they access systems or check in for care — laying the groundwork for a simple and seamless identity experience that can travel with them across the health system.

"CLEAR's mission is to make everyday experiences safer and easier by connecting people to their secure identity," said Caryn Seidman Becker, CEO of CLEAR. "There's no more meaningful place to deliver on that promise than in healthcare, and we're especially proud to do it with Mount Sinai here in our New York City backyard."

"At Mount Sinai, digital innovation is how we make care safer, simpler, and more connected for the communities we serve," said Lisa S. Stump, MS, FASHP, Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Information Officer at the Mount Sinai Health System and Dean for Information Technology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "By collaborating with CLEAR, we are strengthening our cybersecurity and infrastructure networks, while also making it easier for patients and employees to securely access the care and services they need." 

"CLEAR is proud to collaborate with Mount Sinai within the CMS Health Tech Ecosystem to support their commitment to a simpler, more connected patient experience," said David Bardan, General Manager and Head of Healthcare at CLEAR.

CLEAR1 stands out in healthcare settings for its ability to embed directly 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 such as physical kiosks and handheld tablets, prior CLEAR1 integrations have increased digital check-in adoption, reduced duplicate records, and enabled health systems to redirect thousands of staff hours back to patient care.

CLEAR1 is Full Service certified by the Kantara Initiative for NIST Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2) and Authenticator Assurance Level 2 (AAL2), high-assurance standards that are foundational to trusted healthcare data exchange.
