In this article are discussed the most perspective cryptocurrency and blockchain projects that China is investing in. After the regulations regarding cryptocurrencies that is put forth by China, the Chinese government decided to create several financial bodies to regulate and develop the cryptocurrency. Despite the strict regulation of cryptocurrencies, China has been significantly investing in blockchain projects. China has developed the Digital Currency Research Institute (DCRI) of the People’s Bank of China — a research body under the aegis of PBOC that focuses on the research and development of digital currencies and blockchain-related technologies. China actively supports more than 40 platforms, mostly in such fields as AI, Deep Learning and Software. The Chinese government has shown a positive attitude towards blockchain technology. Blockchain and cryptocurrency come hand-in-hand (except a private chain where a token is unnecessary). In the nearest future, China plans to introduce a blockchain to the most different spheres. For this purpose, there will even double the volume of investment to 3 billion dollars, since the second quarter of 2018. “This technology can transform many spheres of our life. As soon as in the country pursue powerful technological policy, it is sure that even more companies will begin to work in the field of the blockchain” —the partner of the international consulting company PwC in Shanghai Chongg Chong Yin commented to journalists.

Objective: To develop a research and development program to study factors that will support research, education and innovation using blockchain technology for health in an effective and sustainable manner. We proposed to conduct qualitative research to generate insights for developing a market strategy to build a research lab for the promotion of blockchain technologies in health in academic environments. The team aimed to identify the key barriers and opportunities for developing a sustainable research lab that generates research, education, and application of blockchain in healthcare at an academic medical institution and test those strategies in a real-world scenario. Methods: The research team identified potential customers and stakeholders through interviews and snowball sampling. The team conducted semi-structured interviews with 4 faculty researchers, 10 industry leaders, and 6 students from a variety of disciplines and organizations. The findings of these research activities informed our understanding of the needs of stratified customers and helped identify key assets and activities the lab will have to offer to meet those needs. Results: The research insights from data analysis were used to build the business model for establishing a blockchain in health impact lab. This systematic study of areas where blockchain technology can impact health will guide the future development of research agenda for the researchers on campus. Conclusion: Based on our learnings, we hope to design a Blockchain in Health Impact Lab to serve as a platform for students and faculty to come together with industry partners and explore current challenges of blockchain in healthcare. The academic medical center’s partnership with other healthcare providers will help create real-world opportunities to demonstrate and implement new technologies.

This article explores the possibility of using digital technologies, primarily distributed Ledger (blockchain) technology, to protect RnD-technologies, which are generally understood as the results of research and development, as well as the process of their creation. The legal protection of such technologies through traditional legal mechanisms is inadequate. Therefore, in the context of global changes in law, the problems of legal regulation and legal protection of RnD-technologies require deep doctrinal understanding.


Blockchain technology is gaining prominence after its first famous implementation as part of the digital currency Bitcoin. It is made up of a series of blocks (the ledger) that give a secure, unchangeable, and auditable list of records. Once a block is recorded using encryption and a distributed database, it cannot be modified. The ledger in the case of Bitcoin stores the history of all monetary transactions. In three sections, this paper provides a review of blockchain technology for an interface design audience: (1) The fundamentals that enable block-chain technology are briefly discussed. (2) Specific examples include the use of HCI in blockchain research and development. (3) In the form of a fledgling research agenda, opportunities and difficulties for HCI and interface design are presented.

UNSTRUCTURED Blockchain is an innovative decentralized ledger-based technology that was invented in 2008. Initial utilization was developed for the cryptocurrency bitcoin, but the utility of the technology extends well beyond just that of currency. Much of the value of blockchain exists in the revolutionary ability to transmit and validate data without a third party. Blockchain has significant room for utility in healthcare as a whole, with most of its potential still being very much untapped with the technology still in its incipience. Sleep medicine is an area of medicine that is particularly primed for implementation of blockchain, being a field immensely reliant on data transmission from technology in the form of sleep diagnostics, sleep-related consumer technologies, and therapeutic devices for clinical care to optimally function. Data exchange and entry points for logistics of diagnosis and management of sleep disorders is often fairly profuse and involving multiple parties, making blockchain technology particularly advantageous. Blockchain, like any technology, is not without its limitations, and more research and development is needed before it can be integrated to its potential. However, in blockchain exists the prospect of revolutionizing the way patients’ data interacts with the healthcare system as a whole as well as adjunctive systems which aid in conducting clinical care.

Indonesia is the third largest democracy in the world. Election is a means for Indonesians to deliver votes to elect leaders and representatives of the people. Existing elections still use traditional methods. Watch the development of blockchain technology being the favorite in the world of research and development, blockchain will be designed based on e-voting for Indonesia. Based on the design created, the benefits of the blockchain can fulfill the principles in Indonesia which were introduced in Law No. 7 of 2017. The principles of the election include direct, public, free, confidential, honest and fair can be fulfilled with the nature of blockchain which consists of anonymity, autonomy, fairness, secrecy, and transparency. Other things that become the advantages of blockchain are distributed and auditable
