WHO creates its own blockchain platform to fight the spread of coronavirus

The World Health Organization has launched a blockchain-based platform for global information and tracking of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A WHO blockchain Coronavirus data hub is currently under development by IBM and Oracle to verify the authenticity of data pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The World Health Organization has partnered with IBM, Oracle, Hacera and Microsoft to launch its own coronavirus pandemic data-sharing platform. The initiative, called MiPasa, is based on Hyperledger Fabric. The platform is expected to be able to help identify those who are infected with COVID-19 in time.

MiPasa aims to facilitate “the exchange of private information between individuals, public authorities and health institutions”. The platform is to become some kind of “information highway”, where data about infected with the virus will quickly reach needed organization.

The project website says that personal information of each private person will be fully confidential:

“MiPasa can help monitor and foresee local and global epidemiological trends and detect likely asymptomatic carriers by feeding big data on infection routes and occurrences to powerful AI processors around the world.”

A number of national health agencies are also contributing to the project, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the US, Europe and China, Hong Kong Department of Health, the Government of Canada and the National Health Commission of China.
