The Potential of Blockchain for Healthcare Systems with Lito Michala, PhD at University of Glasgow

Did you know that malaria kills over 400,000 people per year globally? This episode will be about how a project in Uganda is reaching underserved areas where testing for malaria can be challenging and having the diagnosis early can be a matter of life or death. I invited Lito Michala , PhD and Lecturer at the University of Glasgow in the school of computing science focused on IoT - and she is involved in the project to talked about why they chose the blockchain technology to store and share the data of the malaria test results and the challenges for blockchain adoption in the healthcare system. In the second part I selected some clips from my interview with Professor Jon Cooper and Julien Reboud from the Bioengineering school at the University of Glasgow – we talked about how the project came about – the technology behind the test – cleverly named origami testing and how smartphones are used as a power source providing electricity to process the test.
