Fighting COVID-19: Does blockchain have a role to play?

A range of sectors have begun to utilise Blockchain for a variety of use-cases, including health and social care. 

When it comes to innovation in the fight against COVID-19, much of the emphasis and investment has been channelled into securing a vaccine (and rightly so), with this seemingly now being the ‘exit strategy’ for most governments.

However, as the pandemic continues to stress-test some of the very best healthcare systems across the globe, including our own NHS, a question remains as to whether there are any pioneering technologies available to support the UK’s health and social care sectors, right now.

This is where we at TrueProfile.io believe that blockchain has the capacity to make an immediate difference in the fight against COVID-19, principally when it comes to ensuring the healthcare sector can efficiently and securely obtain the staff and skills it needs.
