Which health sector blockchain technologies could be helpful combating the coronavirus?
I believe to combat pandemics like the covid-19, the healthcare sector that would benefit from blockchain is patient identity. With identity established, there will be more transparency in matching patients and their records, leading to better interoperability with other datbases. Additionally, blockchain identity allows patients to travel digitally with their records anywhere, sharing them with providers, and volunteering them with clinicians researchers or drug manufacturers for medical research purposes. This would be a boon to our fight against a pandemic like the covid-19 because of effective tracing.
