Today I share with you some recent information from Taiwan.
The blockchain technology will be used in Taiwan hospitals to improve the maintenance of medical records. This new project will allow Taiwanese citizens to have better medical care since through the blockchain platform, patients will have access to all their medical records, including high resolution medical images, laboratory results and clinical information and tests of health. More than a hundred hospitals and health centers may request, authorize and share medical records through smart contracts.
Another advantage of implementing this new technology is the security with which all records are stored within the blockchain system. This avoids the falsification of relevant data of patients and the security in the access of this information.
Other blockchain platforms that are being implemented in different countries in the health area are:
- South Korean biotechnology company Macrogen, which is developing a medical big data ecosystem that will allow the safe and private storage and transfer of large amounts of sensitive genomic and personal information.
In the United States, the portal of health research services Scientist.com, which has implemented a new blockchain platform designed to track and protect pharmaceutical data.
The German group Camelot Management Consultants AG has developed a system for the management of confidential medical data, where all data transactions are encrypted and stored in an immutable blockchain and can only be accessed by authorized participants.
