‘Vaccination history’ using blockchain-based DID to prove
[한경잡앤조이=강홍민 기자] MediBloc announced on the 18th that it will launch the nation’s first blockchain-based DID vaccine pass service within the Medipass service.
As the government announced that it is aiming for the first corona19 vaccination of more than 70% of the entire population this year, the need for proof of vaccination history is emerging. Accurate vaccination history verification is expected to play a very important role in establishing a collective immune system along with overseas travel and economic revitalization. MediPass is a vaccine pass that allows you to conveniently check and manage the vaccination history registered at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and linked medical institutions, including the corona vaccine, using blockchain-based decentralized identification (DID, Decentralized Identifier) technology. Announced the launch of the service.
An individual’s vaccination history can be verified by using Panacea, a blockchain of MediBloc equipped with the DID function. Vaccination certificates signed with DIDs given to information providing organizations, including linked medical institutions, are stored on the patient’s mobile and can be shared externally only when the patient wants, so it can be used without fear of unauthorized use of data. Subsequently, other organizations or individuals who have shared the vaccination history can easily determine whether the history has been forged or altered using DID.
MediBloc’s DID is officially registered with the international organization W3C, which can be checked directly on the W3C website. The official registration with the W3C means that it complies with international standards and is compatible with other DIDs.
“In the case of a certificate issued on paper, there is a high risk of forgery and alteration, and there is not only the inconvenience of carrying it, but it is possible to cover only face-to-face situations.” It is expected that it will be of great help in practical use as the service can quickly and easily prove the vaccination history and at the same time safely use it even in non-face-to-face situations.”
MediBloc plans to officially launch the service in MediPass as early as April after securing completeness through a test period first for the medical staff of the corona19 confirmed patients treatment hospitals, senior hospitals, and general hospital level medical institutions who are the first candidates for vaccination to be. The Medipass service can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Android Market.
Meanwhile, MediBloc is a company that is building a personal-centered integrated medical information platform based on a block chain. MediBloc recently successfully launched’Doctor Palette’, a next-generation EHR solution, and is operating’MediPass’, Korea’s first blockchain-based simple insurance claim service that allows you to easily claim indemnity insurance within 10 seconds.
