with the Speaker Laura Ricci (UNIPI, Italy)
This is a cross project collaboration effort between AI4EU and Helios
The Helios@AI4EU Café will present Laura Ricci (UNIPI, Italy)
Several blockchain projects to help against COVID-19 are emerging at a fast pace, showing the potential of this disruptive technology to mitigate the multi-systemic threats that the pandemic is posing in all phases of the emergency management and generating value for the economy and society as a whole. This talk investigates how blockchain technology can be useful in the scope of supporting health measures that can reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections and allow the return to normality. Since
the prominent use of blockchains to mitigate COVID-19 consequences are in the area of contact tracing
and vaccine/immunity passport support, the talk mainly focuses on these two classes of applications.
