Hyperledger Global Forum 2021

The Healthcare ecosystem is undergoing a digital transformation to improve efficiency and costs. However, the transition from paper forms to PDFs, and from mail to email, still leaves many regulatory compliance aspects prone to human error. This is often the case with multi-site research clinical trials, which are subject to antiquated, costly and centralized data management processes. Each site is responsible for obtaining informed consent from participants, but problems associated with data integrity and conformance to the study’s guidelines can arise. Softhread will discuss how blockchain can be used in multi-site clinical trials to address existing security challenges and streamline information sharing. Also, with IBM and Intel, it will showcase a platform based on Fabric Private Chaincode, that preserves smart contract transaction confidentiality in hybrid cloud deployments.
