Blockchain for protecting sensitive information

Blockchain may help tackle the quite different challenges applying to the health and pharmaceuticals industry, especially around sensitive patient data. This branch of the life services industry is generating an increasing amount of sensitive data and transactions. Some have proposed that blockchain will become essential in dealing with these growing data (KPMG, 2018). Blockchain is well suited for managing areas such as supply chain, privacy, transaction processing, contracts and licensing, and sensitive medical records.

 

"We track precisely where food waste happens and of what type, making it easy for companies to quantify and find a use for side streams.In addition to effective waste utilization, this also enables the assessment of the sustainability of the whole supply chain. We gather qualitative data during the onboarding process, including how you process, how you transport, and what pesticides you use, then inventory movements get registered. This allows us to automatically calculate the climate impact, such as carbon emissions. A movement or a process [along the supply chain] generates a certain amount of carbon emissions that can be measured.

We keep tabs on that process or movement and we can objectively measure what impact it has.”
