(1) The Rise of Blockchain and a New Industrial
Revolution
The development of blockchain technology shows a trend of accelerating
to commercial. At present, distance block chain technology prototype
4Concept Hash Cash has been put forward only 23 years, and only 12 years
away from the formal introduction of the concept of "block chain" by the
scholars signed "Zhongben Cong ". Twelve years ago, blockchain technology
went through three distinct stages of technological evolution, the first
stage marked by the birth of "bitcoin ", the realization of decentralized
accounting technology and digital money industry. The second stage is
characterized by the generation of "intelligent contract ", the bottom
technology is constantly innovating, and the block chain economy is
rapidly expanded to the financial field.
After more than ten years of technology precipitation and iterative
evolution, the blockchain is infiltrating into the rich at an
unprecedented rate
And the pluralistic human society life, speeds up to 3.0 times, more and
more human life work scene will embrace the block chain technology. A large
number of blockchain startups began to emerge in 2016, competing for
industry application exploration, and entered the outbreak period of
industry application in 2017.
With the degree of current technology accumulation, it can be safely
judged that the blockchain economy is already on the eve of the outbreak
period,
is about to usher in a new technological revolution. According to Klaus
Schwab, founder of Davos Forum (Klaus Schwab)
believe that blockchain, as an important outcome of the fourth industrial
revolution after steam engine, electrification, computer, is expected to
use blockchain technology to store 10% of the total global GDP by 2025.
By 2020, blockchain-based businesses will reach 100 billion, according
to market research Gartner forecasts in addition to the financial sector,
the manufacturing and supply chain management industries will bring
trillions of dollars into the blockchainin the market. a research
consultancy MarketsandMarkets predicts in the thematic research report
that the composite annual average growth value of global blockchain market
application and program suppliers will reach the highest between 2016 and
2021. The operations of such suppliers include payments, documentation,
transactions and other programmes to improve the efficiency of business
operations. According to the forecast, among the industries involved in
blockchain technology, banks, securities and insurance have the highest
market share. In the future, the development speed of entertainment and
5media industry dominated by blockchain technology will continue to
accelerate, and the production involved in blockchain will continue to
accelerate industries include healthcare, internet of things, supply
chain management, energy management, IP management, network security,
education, games, voting elections, car house asset leasing, forecasting,
cloud storage, sports management, government public records, retail,
philanthropy, human resources, corporate governance, credit records,
advanced manufacturing, etc. more application scenarios are expanding and
deepening.
(ii) Technical characteristics of blockchain
Block chain technology is not a single technology, but a combination of
multiple research results based on
The application value of the integrated technology system has received
worldwide attention. United States, EU, Germany,
Developed economies such as Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia
and Russia collectively recognize blockchain technology
The huge application prospect, starts to think from the national level
the block chain development road, causes the block chain technology in
the global
Will be universally needed. The core technologies of blockchain are:
consensus mechanism, cryptography principle and distributed data
Storage.
First, the consensus mechanism. The so-called consensus, refers to the
multi-party participation of nodes under the preset rules, through
multiplethe process by which node interactions agree on certain data,
behaviors, or processes. Consensus mechanism refers to the process of
defining consensus algorithms, protocols, and rules. The consensus
mechanism of block chain has "minority subordinate majority" and
"everyone is equal"
The number of nodes doesn't always refer to the number of nodes, but it
can also be called computing power, equity
The number or number of features that other computers can compare.
"Equality for all" means that when a node meets the conditions, all nodes
have the right to give priority to the consensus results, be directly
recognized by other nodes and finally become the final consensus results.
Second, the principle of cryptography. In blockchain technology,
information spreads according to the non-pair of public and private keys
6Said digital encryption technology to achieve mutual trust between the
parties to the transaction. In the concrete implementation process,
through the public, private key
A process in which information is encrypted with one key and can only be
solved with another. And there will be after one secret key is disclosed
(i.e. public key), another private key (i.e. private key) can not be
measured according to the public key.
Third, distributed storage. The distributed storage in the block chain
is that each participating node has its own independent,
Each node storage is independent and equal, relying on consensus
mechanism to ensure the consistency of storage, while the traditional
Distributed storage generally synchronizes data to other backup nodes
through central nodes. Data nodes can be different physical machines or
different instances of the cloud.
(iii) Why the vaccine chain should be expected
From the technical path to solve the problem of trust between people. For
biopharmaceuticals, blockchain technology can be of great value in the
fields of clinical trial recording, compliance regulation and medical
health monitoring records, as well as in health management, medical
equipment data recording, drug treatment, billing and settlement, adverse
event safety, medical asset management, medical contract management, etc.
It has great significance in life ethics and social governance:
First, the field of biopharmaceuticals is a field rich in information,
extremely asymmetric and must be documented. Block chain technology can
achieve "multi-party write" bookkeeping, accounting participants are
composed of multiple entities with incomplete interests, and in different
accounting cycles, different participants, such as regulators, medical
institutions, medical institutions, social security institutions,
doctors, patients, employers, insurance companies and other
"multi-center" lead to initiate accounting, while other participants will
jointly verify the accounting information initiated by the leading party.
The scientific, multi-dimensional and complex nature of modern medical,
testing and diagnostic information is naturally in line with the region
blockchain this technical solution.
II. The quality of vaccine development and production is a matter of human
health and fundamental dignity, and it is important to ensure that the
true record is not tampered with. In the blockchain, each event and
transaction has a timestamp that becomes part of a long chain or permanent
record and can not be tampered with afterwards. All records can be viewed
by all parties on a blockchain without permission restrictions. on a
blockchain with authority limits, parties can, by agreement, determine
7which parties can view which transactions, thereby maintaining privacy,
and parties can mask their identity when needed. In this way, the block
chain completes the entire life cycle of the asset Full record. As assets
flow through the entire supply chain, both patient health records and a
bottle of tablets all records are clearly visible.
III. The recording and traceability of vaccine information data relates
to the entire life cycle of all individuals, and there should be
significant amounts use the foreground. Individual complete health
history, including each vital sign, efficient and accurate recording of
vaccination. All information related to doctor's diagnosis, patient's
disease and surgery, all related to medical staff, location, event the
disk history data is valuable for accurate treatment and disease
prevention, and the block chain is good for bringing together individuals
and even groups of institutions .The real-time storage and sharing of body
data has great application prospect. Minimizing medical risks and medical
malpractice.Fourth, health care is the most strictly regulated field, its
application has the positive externality of social governance. Area the
standardization of intelligent contracts in block chain applications is
a key link and has great value in the supervision of medical behavior.
E It can promote the transparency of pharmaceutical prices, the current
circulation of medicine in the field of rent-seeking and other phenomena
governance, has a pole great utility. When non-compliance occurs, smart
contracts track compliance independently and send it to relevant parties
in real time send notice, effectively remove the inspection link, simplify
the execution process, reduce the cost of supervision.
Fifth, the development and production of vaccines need to consume a lot
of data calculation, virus research will produce a lot of data. Modeling
with which data is critical, so it is important to calculate computational
power. hence, if a high-performance, networked GPU network can be
organized, it is very helpful to solve this problem. The application of
blockchain technology can be used to connect thousands of computers around
the world to form a distributed supercomputer for disease research, which
can more quickly find the nucleic acid composition and protein operation
of the virus. How to help vaccine experts to establish an effective test
program, the success rate of vaccine development is greatly improved
