BloG³
Strengthening patient data sovereignty through blockchain-based health data management
Start: 04/2020
End: 08/2023

In the German healthcare system, patient-related data is collected and managed independently by various actors. Especially during transitions, for example from inpatient hospital treatment to rehabilitation or home environment, information gaps occur – data relevant to patient care is not available.

In response, the BloG³ research project is developing a blockchain-based, decentralised data and rights management system to make the scattered data stored in an individual health profile securely available, using the specific example of oncology patients. This networking of distributed health data can enable personalised medical care for the general population and thus more efficient treatment. At the same time, it allows medical institutions to integrate and automate cross-organisational processes: a digital platform enables transparent access to health data at any time, with full data sovereignty being retained by the individuals concerned, who determine the use of their data.
Role of the FZI
In addition to its role as consortium coordinator and project initiator, the FZI is responsible for mapping information coordination processes in blockchain-based health data management systems.

Research focus
Applied Artificial Intelligence

In this research focus, the FZI concentrates on practical research into the key technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Innovative AI solutions are developed and transferred to application areas such as mobility, robotics, healthcare technology, logistics, production, and supply and disposal on behalf of our partners and customers.

Safety, Security and Law

Um die sichere Digitalisierung zu ermöglichen, erforscht und vermittelt das FZI in diesem Forschungsschwerpunkt anwendungsnah innovative Konzepte, Methoden zur Absicherung von IT-Systemen sowie rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen.

Funding notice:
The BloG³ project is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the framework of the research program on human-machine interaction (Forschungsprogramm Mensch-Technik-Interaktion).
