Blockchain technology remains the revolutionary aspect of
cryptocurrency and the entire digital assets as a whole. It brought
more innovations and popularity to the industry, which have
attracted more users and developers. The use of blockchain
technology is erupting within several mainstreams and sectors of
the global economy. Recently, this amazing technology has found a
useful application in the medical field. A Mexican medical firm,
MDS, has launched a coronavirus testing service that utilizes
blockchain technology to confirm its results. A local media report,
iProUP news reported that MDS Mexico launched a digital
result-profiled platform. This will enable its patients to access
their results as updated in real-time. Furthermore, the physical
delivery of the results comes with a QR code. Related Reading

blockchain, it’s very easy to access the vaccination history of a
patient. Purpose For Blockchain Adoption According to its report,
MDS mentioned that adopting blockchain technology is a means of
safeguarding all the results of its clinical tests. Also, it will
protect the personal data of patients as well prevent COVID test
result falsification. The company explained that it commenced the
certification of the SAR-CoV-2 detection tests via cryptographic
signature and blockchain technology. This move eliminates the
possibility of getting falsified negative results. Thus, the QR
Code, which remains unalterable, unique, and immutable, protects
the information and is verifiable globally. Moreover, the medical
firm’s blockchain has uploaded testing results that contain a
doctor’s cryptographic signature. This must be the doctor that
verified the result of the test. Before now, there have been other
companies in Mexico using digitized covid test results. One of such
moves is the April announcement from Mexico’s National Chamber of
Commerce (CANACO) of a state-sponsored initiation. According to
CANACO, the initiative is a collaboration with Xertify, a private
technology company, for the digitalization of vaccination
passports. For this initiative, there are some requirements from
the beneficiary. These include their official means of
identification and proof of the vaccination from the Ministry of
Health. Crypto market is at its all-time highs | Source: Crypto

Xertify firm disclosed that his company is in charge of the
vaccination receipt digitalization. He mentioned that this would
help in its authentication in another language without
falsification. Related Reading | Grayscale Investments Set to

Australian firm in August facilitated the use of a vaccine registry
based on blockchain technology. The company opted for such an
introduction to cut down the proliferation of counterfeit
coronavirus vaccination certificates floating online. Through the
blockchain-based registry, there will be a stop to the involvement
of fraudsters selling fake COVID-19 certificates. Featured Image
