People have talked about blockchain for a Covid-19 tracing app. But, what if we looked further into the future? What we need is a better vaccine discovery method. To do this, we need better and more secure data sharing networks at an institutional level.

Blockchain could help provide a fully auditable network for health-data sharing. Biobanks, hospitals, doctors, and maybe even one day, secure, individual cold-wallets for personal health-data would be on one side, and researchers, biotech startups, universities on the other. 

e-Estonia already uses a similar system for their e-Health initiatives, so that medical records can be shared without ever being copied and patients can ALWAYS see who accessed them.
