As the Internet of Things (IoT) and other emerging technologies continue to proliferate in healthcare, BlackBerry has developed a set of technologies to help leverage these technologies while prioritizing data security.
The first of these tools is a blockchain solution, powered by the company's network operation center (NOC), that aims to facilitate safer storage and transfer of medical data, the release said. For example, the data could be anonymized for use in medical research, it noted.
BlackBerry will be offering its blockchain tool to the Global Commission, an organization focused on eradicating rare diseases in children, the release said. The Global Commission hopes to use the tool to create real-time insights that will speed diagnoses.
"We are applying our expertise in security, data privacy, and communication work in regulated industries such as automotive, financial services, and government to tackle one of the biggest challenges in the healthcare industry: leveraging healthcare endpoints to improve patient outcomes while ensuring security and data privacy," BlackBerry CEO John Chen said in a press release.
