Blockchain COVID-19 response system: POC
We have implemented a blockchain based system to provide immutable, tamper-proof data to the global medical community while simultaneously operating as a traffic like system for civil liberties…
Having outlined the rationale for using Blockchain as an emergency response system for the COVID-19 epidemic here: Why blockchain is the perfect tool to combat COVID-19 and How Blockchain could help fight the coronavirus, we have gone one step further and built a demonstration system with a simplified architecture to demonstrate the value that blockchain technology could bring in establishing a secure, distributed system in our fight against the global epidemic.
