Georgina Torbet , Digital Trends; Blockchain could ensure the integrity of scientific research trials
Researchers at the University of California,
San Fransico (UCSF) created a proof of concept that shows how the
integrity of clinical trial data can be protected and proven using
blockchain. Blockchain
allows users to track the changes made to any portion of the data
entered into it, making an audit trail for regulators which can be
checked for any inconsistencies. This would make it obvious if, for
example, a researcher changes certain values in their data set to come
to the conclusion that they wanted."
Issues and developments related to ethics, information, and technologies, examined in the ethics and intellectual property graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. My Bloomsbury book "Ethics, Information, and Technology" will be published in Summer 2025. Kip Currier, PhD, JD
