Digital Certificates: Another Step Towards Digital Transformation

As a part of the digital development, Cyprus Hospital also informed that the vaccinated personnel also received a digital certificate for their vaccination on their E-HCert App, successfully first launched in June 2020.

E-HCert App is an electronic wallet representing a new category of healthcare record system that combines interoperability, immutability, traceability, and compliance via VeChainThor Blockchain.

An app was launched for the COVID-19 RT-PCR test results and was used by around 8000 people who received their results after having a COVID-19 RT PCR test on their arrival at the International Airport in Cyprus.

Last week, VeChain Founder tweeted, saying that governments and individuals are assured of the quality and validity of results with this advanced technology. Mediterranean Hospital believes that these digital certificates are a crucial step towards the healthcare industry’s digital transformation.

VeChain’s Vital Role in Healthcare

Apart from the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, the VeChain platform facilitates the E-HCert App to go far beyond COVID-19 records and onboards another hospital located in Cyprus named Aretaeio Hospital. After demonstrating efficacy in the Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus, Aretaeio Hospital joined the VeChain ToolChain platform and integrated the digital lab test wallet solution, E-HCert App.

VeChain company, which is based on Blockchain, believes that Blockchain has the potential to reshape the current model radically and revolutionize the healthcare delivery, test results, diagnostics and can advance the process and security of information exchange between the participating parties.

Due to its high potential, Vechain has received strong backing from the various Chinese governments and has established connections with various top companies, including Walmart, BMW, LVMH, and others.
