Brooklyn-based blockchain firm Kadena hopes its new app can verify that COVID-19 tests are the real deal by letting users track test kits.

Announced Thursday, Kadena said the open-source application would be available to use on its testnet immediately, and would provide a secure way for medical professionals and patients to communicate and store test results.

Helmed by former JPMorgan blockchain leads, Kadena markets itself as a high-throughput alternative to the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. Its plan to ensure the authenticity of coronavirus tests is to use QR codes to track the kits from the manufacturer to the healthcare provider, making it harder to swap out the real tests for fake ones, said founder and CEO Will Martino.

martin20 - They are putting this blockchain everywhere. I don't mind this technology, but currently, it gives nothings besides damned cryptocurrency. I can't upgrade my pc gear for 2 years now due to insane graphics cards prices. It's definitely not the future I was expecting for! Also, what's the point of these tests now, if even vaccinated people could get sick with new delta variation. But, of course, for a nation with a low percent of vaccinated people, such an https://www.confirmbiosciences.com/covid19-instant-coronavirus-test-kit/ is a must-have. But, again - what's the point? If a country isn't developed enough to provide vaccines - how will it cope with blockchain?

denial - As I understand it, you still have to fill out a form and sign up for a test on sites like https://personichealthcare.com/ to get a result. Just the result can now be in such an application?

kentrell - Personally, I don't really trust blockchains, so I doubt they will be able to provide me with correct covid test results.

markeyvius - Totally agree with the user above. For me, it is much better to go to the nearest lab or private clinic and have the test done there.

kavo - It has been almost four years since the first case of coronavirus was detected in humans. During this time, the virus has caused a great deal of grief and harm to people's health. Personally I think that such dangerous viruses should be treated very carefully and that is why I test every month in this laboratory https://numberonelab.com/business/ for the presence of coronavirus. This allows me to always know that I am healthy, but if it turns out that I am a carrier of the coronavirus, I can promptly self-isolate and start treatment at an early stage of its development in my body.
