MDS Mexico has established a digital platform that allows its patients to obtain findings that are updated in real-time, according to a report from local media outlet iProUP \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>news on Oct. 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The results are also transmitted physically, with a QR code that can be scanned to validate the results and access a patient's immunization history on MDS Mexico's blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MDS said that it used blockchain to secure clinical test findings, protect patients' personal information, and prevent the manipulation of covid test results. According to MDS's website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo avoid the falsification of negative results, we began to certify the SARS-CoV-2 detection tests with blockchain technology and cryptographic signature, which protects the information in a unique, immutable, and unalterable<\/a> QR Code that can be verified worldwide.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The digital signature of the doctor who confirmed the test's outcome is also included in the testing results uploaded to MDS's blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April, the Mexican National Chamber of Commerce (CANACO) announced a state-backed plan to digitize immunization passports in collaboration with private blockchain technology startup Xertify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, leaders from the blockchain industry in Australia<\/a> lobbied for the creation of a blockchain-based vaccine registry to combat the spread of counterfeit COVID-19 vaccine passports on the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
