What is the relevance of blockchain technology for healthcare? What challenges do you encounter when implementing blockchain? In a project at the ICT Lab, students from the Hogeschool Utrecht, under the guidance of Dialogic, are looking for answers to these questions.

The team is focused on digitising the vaccination record booklet (the so-called yellow booklet with travel vaccinations). Over the past weeks, the students have conducted research into the (technical) feasibility and potential implementation of an application. Based on this, the students have exchanged ideas with the GGD-GHOR. They are following the project with interest. In the coming months, the students will build the application using blockchain technology.
