Resumen
AZIM, Amirul; ISLAM, Muhammad Nazrul y SPRANGER, Paul E. Blockchain and novel coronavirus: towards preventing COVID-19 and future pandemics. Iberoam J Med [online]. 2020, vol.2, n.3, pp.215-218. Epub 12-Feb-2020. ISSN 2695-5075. https://dx.doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3779244.
The present world has observed the SARS-CoV2 or COVID-19 spreading rapidly with a rising death toll and transmission rates with an absence of proper data management and information sharing. The current traditional database storage system has the limitations of a centralized control system and tampering of data, particularly when it is being shared with others. The Novel technology known as “Blockchain” is a distributed ledger technology that acts as a shared database, keeping all its copies synced and verified. The objective of this article is to study the concept of a Blockchain based pandemic data management system that would ensure unified patients’ data storage and reliable data management to trackdown coronavirus to combat against this and future pandemics.
