Algorand can protect the integrity of medical research data.

LabTrace Logo

The rise of AI is making it harder to authenticate information and to distinguish real from processed or fake data. LabTrace uses the Algorand blockchain to create an immutable, timestamped record of data, ensuring secure, transparent verification and ownership protection throughout the medical research process.

Data integrity

"There is a general feeling around Artificial Intelligence: what is real data, what is processed data, what is fake data? I think blockchains and ledgers are probably the only way to go about [authenticating data]. That is the biggest space; that’s where we are trying to move into."

Conventional verification methods are insufficient to ensure the security, authenticity, and ownership of medical research data created through complex, collaborative networks.

LabTrace leverages Algorand build permanent, verifiable records to support patent applications, sensitive patient data and scans, document research progress, and confirm proper credit in academic publishing.

Key benefits

01

LabTrace restores trust in scientific findings by ensuring data authentication through immutable, blockchain-based verification.

02

The platform enables researchers to protect their intellectual property across collaborative projects with secure timestamp and ownership tracking.

03

LabTrace supports seamless data sharing for large-scale, global research projects across multiple institutions.

Labtrace is used in the UNITY Project, a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation-funded initiative using portable, low-magnetic field MRI scanners to assess brain health and development in babies and young children in low-resource settings.

In addition, Labtrace is behind the Academic Notebook: an open source, on-chain notebook for universities, staff, and students to verifiably store their research, notes, data, and code, making them open and available to professors and supervisors.

Algorand enables LabTrace to instantly and transparently verify research data, confirming its authenticity and ownership before there is any chance of manipulation.
