Use of Blockchain Technology May Ensure Safety of Clinical Trial Data
Publication- News Gram
Edition- Online
Date- 24 February, 2019
Using Blockchain technology, researchers, including one of Indian origin, have created a novel system that could help ensure the integrity of data in clinical trials. The system creates an immutable audit trail that makes it easy to spot any tampering with results, such as making the treatment look more effective or diminishing side effects.
“Everyone is talking about how Blockchain is going to revolutionise many of the data challenges in medicine, and here is one use that finally might make sense,” said Atul Butte, Professor at the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF). “We think it could someday be useful for pharma companies running clinical trials.”
The new system operates through a web portal so that each time new data is entered on a given trial participant, the sender, receiver, timestamp, and file attachment containing the data, along with the hash of the previous block of data pertaining to that patient, is recorded onto a new block, with its own distinct signature.
