The Commons Foundation, a South Korean NGO, has revealed its plans to develop a blockchain-based platform to deal with health epidemics. Blockchain-based epidemiological research system According to Digital Today, the organization will rely on blockchain to create an epidemiological research system tailored for the upcoming post-coronavirus era. The article quotes a statement from Choi Yong-gwan, president of the Commons Foundation, who expressed concern over the continued data breaches, in the wake of the pandemic. This situation has motivated the organization to develop a solution. Choi claims that guaranteeing privacy through the platform, will help prevent future viruses from having such a strong impact in South Korea. The Commons Foundation explained that while developing the platform, it will rely on a public blockchain network called "MicroBitcoin." It chose it because of its robustness and security. It also stated that the technology is "sufficiently resistant to hacker attacks." The platform will encrypt all personal data on a public blockchain network to "increase reliability and prevent data falsification." As the Common Foundation explains, the app will create a personal encryption key. through cell phone authentication, as well as log a user's movements on the network. Tracking confirmed COVID-19 cases on the Blockchain If person A is found to be sick with coronavirus, he or she can directly enter the value of the encryption key and provide the epidemiologist with data that cannot be forged . Doctors can schedule an appointment with Person A and ensure that the test can be done quickly. "It is important to overcome the pandemic quickly, but in the post-coronavirus era, it will become more important to protect individual freedom and human rights while overcoming the pandemic wisely," - said the president of the Commons Foundation.
