Transcrypts, a blockchain-based document security startup, announced<\/a> a collaboration with Doctors Without Borders, or DWB, on November 11 at a press conference. They have already uploaded 6500 vaccination data to the blockchain as a result of their collaboration, with a target of 76000 by 2022.<\/p>\n

The majority of the vaccinations recorded are COVID-19 vaccines, but the company indicated that the ultimate goal is to keep all patient medical information on the blockchain, accessible via a patient’s phone. Zain Zaidi, then an electrical engineering student at San Jose State University, started the tiny California firm last year.<\/p>\n

A Series Of Clients Has Already Lined Up To Receive The Storage Service.<\/h2>\n

Paychex, ADP, Zoom, Spirit Airlines, and Oracle are among the company’s current clients.<\/p>\n

Transcrypts originated as a solution to prevent resume fraud promoted to HR professionals before extending into income verification for landlords. The company now describes itself as a full-service documentation provider. The DWB collaboration is the company’s first entry into medical records. Previously, Transcrypt discovered that HIPAA and other compliance laws effectively prohibited the use of blockchain as a way of storing medical information<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn India, over 700,000 people die every year from the lack of access to a patient\u2019s medical records. A majority of these deaths could have been prevented if physicians had access to a patient\u2019s comprehensive health care records. With this partnership, Doctors Without Borders and TransCrypts hopes to build a future where this loss of life can be mitigated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
