WHO and Technology Giants Launch Blockchain Platform for Processing COVID-19 Data

The World Health Organization (WHO) plans to launch a blockchain platform that will serve as a so-called “information highway” to verify data on the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of national healthcare institutions, as well as Microsoft, Johns Hopkins University, IBM and many others will take part in the creation of the platform.

Currently, a lot of information about COVID-19 is being disseminated, much of which isn’t properly verified. To track and check such a large amount of data, WHO has partnered with the technology giants IBM and Oracle. The blockchain solution will be called MiPasa; the Hacera company will build the platform.

The platform will serve as a data center for COVID-19, aimed at analysing and verifying data on the sources of infection. This will help to access reliable information, add verified data on the virus distribution and results of vaccine testing. As a result, this will help to create new analytical tools. MiPasa platform will be free for users.
