- Healthcare Auditing System – Google’s Deep Mind building auditing system for healthcare data, called Verifiable Data Audit for DeepMind Health, to help clinicians predict, diagnose and prevent serious illnesses
- Independent Audit Review – Appointed panel of volunteer reviewers who will audit DeepMind’s work and publish annual report on findings
- Similar to Blockchain – Has features similar to blockchain, such as append-only ledgers where data records cannot be erased, and verifiable system, allowing third parties to verify entries
- More Efficient System – Uses tree-like structure, which generates cryptographic hash that summarizes latest entry and previous entries, making it harder to alter data without affecting entire records
- Open Source – Plans to open source software so others can develop similar ledgers for other applications that require record-keeping of sensitive data
- Similar Projects – Startup Tierion and UK’s Government Digital Service working to build similar systems on blockchain
