Title: EU data experts working on a blockchain-based coronavirus passport
Post by: Paglamon on May 27, 2020, 08:45:40 AM

Three European companies are jointly developing a blockchain-based “Covid-19 health passport." The passport will help governments to monitor the population’s state of immunity in real-time.

The passport will be updated with coronavirus test results. If you have the coronavirus, that result will be timestamped (to ensure it can't be falsified) and updated in real-time.

It will run on the KSI blockchain developed by Estonian blockchain company Guardtime. Swiss security company SICPA; and French health platform OpenHealth, which maintains a database of 20 million French patients, are also working on the project.

Finally an useful application of blockchain in real life. This will help track and trace infected patient and hence reduce the spread of virus. In fact, there were a lot of projects focus on the "track and trace" feature of blockchain however, this is the most realistic and helpful one. Hopefully government will realize and be more awared of blockchain technology.
