In a pioneering approach, Ali Health, Alibaba’s flagship health-care unit, will associate with the local government to adopt Blockchain technology for data security. This big event will take place in China’s Changzhou city.

Director at Zhenglu Town Health Center in Changzhou, Yicai Global, told a Chinese daily, Yicai Global, “Ali Health’s Blockchain technology connects information by using our current equipment and systems.”

“It is cost effective and safe. With Blockchain, health centers and district hospitals are interconnected so that the people can enjoy convenient medical services.”

While full details about the plan are yet to come, small revelations suggest that it will involve creation of “a number of data security nets” and data storage in ciphertext with “strict access controls and operational privileges.”

This is the most recent state-sanctioned Blockchain experiment to get approval in China. Practices to apply Blockchain technology in taxation are soon to follow.
