Taiwan medical information is gold mine! Institute for Information Industry and International Trust Machines Corporation create the world’s first “health care blockchain account book”
【Published by: Future Commerce Issue | Editor: Shen Qin-Yu | Translator: Statecraft 】
With the advent of a super-aged society and the development potential of the health care technology industry, the Institute for Information Industry established the “Health Tech Alliance” to call for cross-border operators to develop smart healthcare. In order to help the industry solve the bottleneck of smart medical development, the Department of Industrial Technology of the Ministry of Economic Affairs commissioned the Institute for Information Industry to implement the “108 Innovation and Prospects Technology Research Project” and cooperated with International Trust Machines Corporation to provide blockchain applications. Technical support and SDK license, develop a “low-power, high-frequency, public blockchain” “wafer-level IoT winding management technology” solution, allowing operators to create high-value services without worries, and jointly promote The health technology industry ecosystem will implement the wisdom of Taiwan’s healthy living service industry.
IoT X blockchain accelerates the smart medical layout
He Wei-Guang, director of the Institute for Digital Service Innovation at the Institute for Information Industry, analyzed that the health consumption pattern of Taiwanese people has gradually risen in recent years, coupled with the top R&D and manufacturing capabilities of the information communication, making the Internet of Things and the blockchain more likely to be applied. Sex. At present, Taiwan’s discussion of the blockchain is still dominated by the financial industry. However, Taiwan’s medical system is internationally renowned, and the health care medical information that everyone has is a kind of material that is very suitable for the chain.
He Weiguang further explained that the traditional health insurance card and medical record can become the health and wisdom passbook of the nation after the chain. Moreover, it is possible to incorporate not only medical information, but also a wearable device such as a weight scale, a sphygmomanometer or a smart bracelet with an Internet of Things function, and uploading the measured body values, the application level will be wider and the business opportunities are endless.
“Yes Chain Pharmacy”, one of the members of the Health Tech Alliance, is the first to open Taiwan’s first smart pharmacy this year. The Silver-haired Race people understand the meaning of the value on the smart bracelet and get a warm response from the surrounding communities. The second branch is about to Opening. Other players, such as Wisdom Gene, have also introduced blockchains, and the advantages of blockchain data cannot be tampered, allowing customers to track the progress of inspections in real-time.
Fully cooperating with the Institute for Information Industry vision to create the world’s first health care blockchain account, Hwang Gwan-Hwan, chief scientist and co-founder of International Trust Machines Corporation, explained that the blockchain is “not tamperable”. And the “Transaction Positioning Merkle Tree” technology patented by International Trust Machines Corporation, which can effectively record and permanently verify data and create a more trusted process. Compared with other industries, the health industry pays more attention to the privacy of medical information and inspection processes, and International Trust Machines Corporation technology just solves the pain points.
Hwang Gwan-Hwan said that through blockchain technology, personal health information can be provided to physicians, pharmacists, and even insurance salesmen for direct verification and underwriting. In the future, whether it is a cross-hospital referral or applying for insurance claims, you will not need to face the complicated medical record application process, and you can get more accurate medical treatment. The data security protection issues that are of concern to all walks of life can also be used to screen the required information through the cryptography principle and encryption technology of the blockchain, and the privacy of personal health information is also guaranteed.
Hwang Gwan-Hwan has identified five major bottlenecks for the development of the Internet of Things and blockchain integration: scalability, security, cost, suitability, data processing. In addition, cross-unit collaboration is also one of the keys. Not only the industry but also the leadership of relevant government units, the regulations must also keep pace with the times.
In the face of the above challenges, International Trust Machines Corporation uses blockchain technology to build “blockchain ledger fingerprints”. Once it has been tampered with, it will leave traces and the credibility of the data will increase, without the need for third-party certification bodies to intervene. In addition, for the problem of insufficient bandwidth of the public chain, International Trust Machines Corporation is solved by the patented “Transaction Positioning Merkle Tree” and the ledger-based search technology. As long as the chip device SDK in the IoT device is used, it can be instantly loaded. Hwang Gwan-Hwan emphasizes that this cryptographic algorithm directly integrates with the chip, eliminating the need for device-side device blockchain nodes and significantly reducing operating costs.
Next, the Institute for Information Industry will continue to work with International Trust Machines Corporation and is expected to complete the blockchain IC service platform architecture this year. At the same time, the relevant industries and operators are counted, and the chain pharmacies, health inspection centers, genetic testing institutions, and even serial dietitians and fitness instructors are invited to join in, and cross-border innovation services. He Wei-Guang hopes to promote the growth of the health science and technology industry ecosystem with the strength of all people, and let Taiwan take the lead in the era of health and precision.
