Description
Blockchain in COVID-19 Fight – US HHS Testing Results Reporting Using Distributed Ledger - Mark Rakhmilevich & Bala Vellanki, Oracle
Accurate COVID-19 test results are necessary for pandemic surveillance and response – directing testing resources, targeting therapeutics and vaccines, focusing pandemic control measures. Traditional reporting by the labs and testing vendors raises concerns of human & network errors and risks of tampering. As testing moves outside the labs to nursing homes, work sites, airports, etc. concerns about fraud, tampering, and improper PHt handling are even greater. HHS/CDC WATERS – an Oracle COVID-19 Test Results solution based on Oracle Blockchain Platform helps HHS and NIH RADx participants creating rapid testing devices to address challenges of At-Anywhere diagnostics. Live since January, this solution won 1st prize in HHS design-a-thon. It ingests results from labs & many FDA-approved at-home and point-of-care testing devices and providers, including Abbott’s BinaxNOW™, Ellume, and Cue™.

So
just
to
begin
a
little
broader,
though
there's
been
a
lot
of
work
done
over
the
last
few
years
in
leveraging
enterprise
blockchain
in
healthcare
space,
and
you
see
some
examples
here
of
use
of
blockchain
across
different
use.
Cases
within
and
across
the
healthcare
community
certainly
provide
the
licensing,
data
management,
credentials,
etc,
has
been
probably
one
of
the
more
popular
use
cases.
B
B
B
Obviously,
as
you
understand
the
complexity
of
the
vaccine,
manufacturing
and
distribution
processes
and
all
of
the
different
participants
that
are
involved
in
that
entire
supply
chain
distribution
chain,
a
lot
of
value
in
having
a
you
know-
shared
ledger,
environment
and
deloitte
in
oracle.
Working
on
that,
but
the
project
that
I
wanted
to
sort.
This
is
moved
in
the
wrong
direction
here.
Apologize.
B
B
B
B
What's
the
concern
was
that,
as
testing
expands
outside
the
lab,
you
know
you
go
to
workplaces,
so
airports
at
home
testing
with
fda
approving
the
devices
a
lot
of
new
challenges
right
from
places
that
are
not
used
to
any
reporting
requirements,
even
manufacturing
companies
that
are
relatively
new
to
this
and
don't
know
how
to
report
the
data
to
hhs
as
ad
hoc
processes.
Typically
file
transfer,
weren't
very
reliable.
There
was
no
tracking.
There
was
issues
with
human
errors
and
concerns
about
you,
know,
data
tampering
and
such
inconsistent
treatment
of
phi
data,
and
so
on.
B
So
hhs
has
asked
us
to
come
in
and
help
provide
a
solution
based
on
some
of
the
previous
work
we've
done
with
them
and
they
had
a
set
of
requirements
around
security
and
privacy,
confidentiality
of
the
data
immutability
being
able
to
show
that
the
data
is
not
tampered
with.
Integrity
of
data
and
identity
is
maintained
throughout.
B
They
wanted
a
kind
of
lightweight
api
interface
to
make
it
test
and
device
agnostic
support
for
standard
formats
like
csv
and
hl7's,
and
ability
to
report
data
in
real
time
so
as
test
is
being
performed,
result
is
being
done.
Some
of
those
tests
are
like
5
minutes,
15
minutes,
et
cetera,
as
well
as
batch
reporting
as
well,
and
perhaps
the
most
important
requirement
was
to
provide
the
single
source
of
truth
across
multiple
agencies.
B
So
hhs
are
sharing
data
with
cdc,
cdc,
sharing
it
with
states
and
local
agencies
and
so
on,
and
so
as
a
single
source
of
truth
was
one
of
the
critical
requirements
for
shared
and
transparent
access,
and
we
were
able
to
meet
pretty
much
all
of
those
requirements
by
deploying
this
in
a
highly
secured
oracle.
Fedramp
certified
government
cloud,
of
course,
blockchain
ledger
itself
provides
immutability,
and
this
was
based
on
oracle
blockchain
platform
using
hyperledger
fabric
as
its
core
framework.
B
Integrity
of
data
comes
from
permission,
blockchain
we're
ensuring
the
authenticity
of
the
members
who
are
reporting
the
data,
all
those
organizations
like
test
manufacturers
and
venues
and
so
on,
and
then
field
level
validations
as
well.
That
was
implemented
in
the
front
end
to
ensure
that
all
of
the
health
data
that's
being
reported.
You
know,
maps
to
valid
designations
and
codes
for
test
results
and
status
and
all
other
kind
of
things
and
demographic
data.
B
B
So
you
might
ask
yourself,
you
know
why
was
this
based
on
blockchain
technology?
What
was
the
driver's
voicing
blockchain
technology?
So
we've
started
by
first
of
all,
confidentiality
being
very
important,
of
course,
integrity
of
identity
and
data
and
immutability.
Those
were
the
three
basic
drivers
from
confidentiality
perspective.
Of
course,
we
start
with
the
fender
up
data
center
and
all
the
security
that
comes
with
that.
B
B
And
so
you
could
split
the
ownership
and
administrative
controls
in
order
to
ensure
that
you
know
no
single
entity
can
support
the
data
and
endorsement
policies.
On
top
of
that,
that
can
be
implemented
for
multi-signature
controls.
If
you
need
to
be
able
to
ensure
that
the
transaction
update
goes
in
only
after
it's
been
endorsed
by
multiple
organizations
and
finally,
immutability
and
tamper
proofing
comes
from,
of
course,
the
nature
of
the
ledger
itself
is
cryptographic
hatches
linking
the
blocks
and
then
your
tampering
can
be
easily
detected.
B
However,
it
can
be
detected,
but
it's
not
detected
automatically
out
of
the
box
in
the
open
source
version
of
fabric.
So
we
have
implemented
a
verification
and
auditing
tool
that
sits
as
part
of
the
platform
and
is
able
on
demand
to
provide
verification
walks
through
the
blocks
and
ensures
that
all
of
the
hashes
still
compute
properly
or
with
the
data,
that's
in
the
ledger-
and
this
was
provided
as
an
add-on
capability
within
that
environment.
It
was
actually
a
session
earlier.
I
believe
yesterday,
but
it's
recorded
and
available
from
bahu
young
one
of
our
architects.
B
Talking
about
that
particular
auditing
capability,
and
of
course
you
know
because
it's
a
distributed
ledger
we're
replicating
the
data
automatically
across
all
of
the
nodes
that
belong
to
different
organizations
and
we
work
with
hhs
and
cdc
to
ensure
that
they
have
separate
nodes,
separate
administrative
domains,
and
then
there
are
other
things
as
well.
That
can
be
done
to
extend
this
to
us
organizations.
B
So
we
started
by
deploying
oracle
blockchain
platform,
which
is
calculated
fabric
based
in
the
gov
cloud,
using
basically
all
of
the
fedramp
principles
and
requirements
that
the
cloud
supports,
and
then
this
was
extended
with
identity
management.
We
have
a
lot
of
work,
we've
done
around
high
availability,
resilience,
api
gateways,
security,
enhancement,
scalability
and
so
on.
Initially,
we
deployed
this
with
three
nodes
for
abbott,
for
hhs
and
for
cdc.
B
B
So
through
rest,
api
is
connecting
to
the
blockchain
node
in
the
oracle
cloud,
and
this
infrastructure
with
the
forestry
nodes
was
live
actually
by
january.
When
they
started
sending
production
data-
and
I
think
we
have
today
over
one
and
a
half
million
test
records-
then
we
have
of
course
shared
nodes
that
are
available
and
for
what's
called
waters,
which
is
essentially
a
group
of
companies
sponsored
by
national
institute
of
health's
rapid,
advanced
diagnostic
program,
radix
program,
they're
reporting
through
a
front
end
here.
B
So
this
is
a
node
that
was
built
as
part
of
the
designer
zone
effort.
We
have
live
reporting
coming
in
from
abbot
the
loom
q,
bd
and
the
number
of
others
and
we've
gone
through
the
hhs
conditional,
ato
authorization.
So
when
you
deploy
something
in
the
government
setting
there
is
this
authority
to
operate
a
requirement,
an
hhs
vent
through
this
process
with
us
to
get
this
authority
to
operate.
B
B
We've
recently
implemented
extension
to
cdc
for
pushing
the
data
into
report
stream
and
then
exploring
also
extensions
for
self-sovereign,
test
status,
verification
and
later
on
for
non-carbon
disease
detection
right
public
health
needs.
That
are,
you
know,
going
to
be
with
us.
You
know
beyond
the
pandemic
environment.
A
Mark
hi,
the
technical
architecture
mainly
consists
of
with
multiple
clouds
and
multiple
components.
Here,
let's
start
with
the
top,
the
first
one
on
the
screen
which
shows
buy
next.
Now,
I
think
by
next
now
is
a
test
kit
that
has
been
supplied
by
abbott
and
about
uses
azure
cloud
to
rest
rest
calls
to
submit
the
data
result,
data
that
is
get
there,
that
they
get
from
patients
and
it
is
submitted
to
our
api
gateway,
which
is
running
on
our
oci
or
oracle
cloud
infrastructure,
which
is
federal,
federal
certified.
A
So
as
soon
as
we
receive
the
results
from
their
results
from
binax
now
or
abbott,
what
we
do
is
we
just
go
and
use
our
oracle
access
manager
to
go
and
get
it
validated
with
the
user
user
privileges
that
are
assigned
to
the
advert
users,
and
then
we
we
stored
it
on
the
blockchain
nerds
and
there's
once
the
results
are
submitted.
They
are
sent
to
multiple
parties
that
are
there
in
this,
and
one
is
hhs.
The
other
one
is
cdc.
A
Gov
node,
which
you
see
on
the
right
hand,
side
top
boxes
where
one
is
fed
into
the
palantir
system
using
using
our
rich
history
feature
where
we
capture
all
the
data
that
is
sent
to
blockchain
and
we
build
analytics
on
top
of
it
and
also
provide
the
data
to
the
cdc
stream,
which
is
a
node
on
the
blockchain.
So
there
are
three
as
you
look
at
this
the
circle
in
the
center
talks
about
how
many
nodes
are
there.
For
now
we
have
four
of
them.
One
is
the
abbott
lab
that
support.
A
That's
up
that
gives
the
patient
results
to
supplies.
The
patient
results
to
the
ground,
node,
hhs,
government,
node
and
cdc
right
now.
We
also
have
waters
going
through
waters
is
one
of
the
products
that
the
government,
the
results,
are
supplied
for
you
from
each
of
the
states.
You
can
see
a
few
of
the
customers
who
are
already
submitting
it
and
the
data
is
received
by
the
states
here.
A
In
this
case,
there
are
flexible
api
model
formats
that
we
support
like
csv,
hl7
and
fhir,
and
you
can
scale
it
to
the
needs
of
the
customer
whenever
it
needs.
There's
a
question
in
the
chat
saying
that
how
much
transaction
support
do
we
support?
We
we
tested
and
we
went
through
the
table
for
millions
of
transactions
and
it
can
be
extended
based
on
the
need,
though,
based
on
the
nodes
that
are
there
on
the
blockchain
market
can
go
to
the
next
one.
A
Now
I'll
I'll
give
you
one
one
representation
of
blockchain
platform,
what
we
support
and
what
we
differentiate
from
others.
The
key
thing
is
oracle
blockchain
platform.
What
what
we
show
as
a
key
feature
is
the
integration
with
all
the
hyperledger
third-party
data
clouds
that
are
there.
If
you
have
hyperledger
or
an
ether
party
cloud,
we
support
integration
with
that,
and
we
also
have
one
more
other
on-prem
version
that
can
be
deployed
on
your
infrastructure
using
the
oracle
enterprise
edition.
A
Those
things
are
very
tough
for
any
of
the
very
easy
for
all
the
partners
who
are
there
on
the
network
to
communicate
they
they
can
be
on
a
rocket
cloud,
they
can
be
another
hyperledger
fabric
and
they
can
have
the
other
hydrologic
fabric
nodes
on
other
clouds
too.
Now
the
key
parts
are
plug-and-play
integrations.
We
support
integrations
with
all
the
erps
and
sap
erp
or
or
fusion
erp
and
other
databases
that
we
have.
A
We
have
all
the
built-in
adapters
that
are
that
are
available
on
the
oracle
integration
cloud
that
can
be
directed
to
blockchain,
so
not
only
that
we
have
lots
of
third-party
apps
that
can
connect
using
your
oracle
integration
cloud
and
the
sas
applications
that
we
also
deploy
on
oracle
blockchain
platform
in.
In
any
case,
all
the
integration
capabilities
provided
by
the
platform
are
are
built
in
and
that's
the
key
key.
That's
the
key
advantage
of
having
the
blockchain
platform
and
it
can
be
scaled
to
the
level
of
the
customer's
need
mark.
A
You
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
here
we
can
see
the
major
value
that
we
add
on
top
of
hyperledger
fabric,
that
we
have.
This
is
mainly
starting
with
provisioning
and
integration.
We
provide
an
easy
console
and
pre-assembly
version
of
how
to
provision,
and
we
provide
blueprints
to
do
that
and
we
can
integrate
with
any
of
the
clouds
or
any
of
the
vendors
that
you
have
on
your
in
your
enterprise
and
we
offer
a
managed
service
and
also
an
enterprise
edition,
which
is
an
on-prem
service
too.
A
Basically,
a
lot
of
customers
are
looking
for
fine
grain
access
control,
basically
looking
from
this
from
the
smart
contracts
perspective,
just
go
and
do
auditing
giving
access
to
the
data
that
has
been
sent
to
the
blockchain
using
the
fine
grain
access
control.
We
provide
a
good
feature
for
that,
where
you
can
control
those
there's
a
lot
of
even
the
the
even
subscription
one
is
one
of
the
key
api
apis
that
we
provide
for
subscribing
to
the
events
that
have
been
published
down
to
blockchain
when
a
transaction
happens.
A
So
there's
a
rich
feature
set
of
like
your
own
good
set
of
apis
that
you
can
use
to
capture
the
events
track
the
events
or
anything.
Now
going
on
to
the
final
consideration,
the
key
considerations
we
have
kind
of
conditional
authority
to
operate.
We
did
multiple
changes
on
our
on
in
this
implementation.
One
is
outside
the
normal
blockchain
mechanisms,
which
is
we.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
protective
images
we
took
insert
internally
even
using
the
normal
blockchain
mechanisms
like
permission,
network
membership
and
policy
based
accounts
test
apis
which
are
tied
to
the
idms
and
directory
services
and
the
apis
that
are
managed
via
tls
encrypted
messages
and
the
finder
access
control,
which
I
talked
to.
So
I
think
these
are
the
key
advantages
that
of
using
this
and
we
implemented
all
those,
though,
and
finally,
going
on
that's
fine
mark
you
can.
A
We
can
go
to
the
next
one,
so
there
are
lots
of
material
and
blogs
that
are
written.
If
you,
this
presentation
will
be
shared
to
you
guys
in
case
you
you're
having
any
questions,
you
can
just
look
at
these
deck
and
look
at
the
links
that
are
provided
in
here
for
any
of
the
blockchain
platform.
Questions
and
also
there's
a
developer
site
ebook
that
was
written
and
there's
a
youtube
channel
too,
which
you
want
to
watch
and
come
back
to
us.
A
B
B
B
The
expectation
is
that
some
of
the
test
vendors
will
be
doing
millions
of
tests
a
day
concentrated
often
in
morning
hours.
Let's
say
you
know:
9
a.m
or
8
a.m,
whether
it's
you
know,
kids
coming
up
to
coming
into
school
or
employers,
or
you
know
other
kind
of
time
based
test
environments
right
and
then,
of
course
you
know
broader
testing
across
sports
venues
and
what
else
might
be
coming
up.
The
expectation
is
that
that
will
continue,
and
so
we'll
continue
to
see
more
testing
going
on
and
will
scale
as
necessary.
B
B
B
B
B
There
is
a
a
lot
of
scanning
that
goes
on
beyond
what
you
typically
would
see
in
the
commercial
cloud,
and
in
order
to
get
the
authority
to
operate
for
government
agency,
they
have
to
go
through
quite
a
bit
of
work
that
requires
documentation,
penetration
testing.
That
was
one
of
those
things
we
had
to
do
actually
specifically
for
this
full-on
penetration
testing,
and
you
know
we
passed
that
as
well.
B
You
know
potential
deployment
opportunities
that
can
all
refer
to
the
same
authority
to
operate
and
even
in
a
different
agency
you
know
say
you
know
this
has
been
done
with
hhs,
but
there's
conversations
with
some
other
agencies.
Now
they
can
refer
to
that
authority
to
operate
when
they
are
requesting
their
own.
So
they
still
have
to
go
through
their
approaches,
but
that
process
is
much
simpler
and
faster
if
they
can
rely
on.

B
Sure,
well,
you
know
you,
you
would
think
it's
controlled
by,
but
government
is
not
a
single
organization
right,
at
least
in
u.s.
It's
not
you
have
all
of
the
government
agencies
and
even
within
sort
of
cdc's
and
hhs,
but
really
operates
independently,
so
hhs
and
cdc.
And
then
you
have
some
other
smaller
agencies.
They
all
want
independent
control
of
the
data,
and
then
you
have
states
right
which
all
have
their
own
health
departments
and
health
agencies.

A
B
All
right
any
other
final
questions
before
we
wrap
up
here
we
are
at
the
bottom
of
the
10
10
10.
I
think
that's
our
cool
story
time
feel
free
to
follow
up.
You

easily
find

linkedin
or

An
