COVID-19 AI and Blockchain Research

Peer-reviewed research into an AI-enabled, blockchain-based approach to COVID-19 data sharing, published separately from the CO-App digital-health application.

COVID-19 AI and Blockchain Research, a research project by Farabi

A rapid AI and blockchain response to fragmented health data

During the early stages of COVID-19, Farabi co-authored original research investigating how artificial intelligence, machine learning and a blockchain-based platform could support authentic, timely access to clinical and non-clinical information.

The paper set out a high-level design for data sharing in pandemic containment, including computational classification, consent, trust, identity and access. Two connected projects developed the wider programme in different directions: the AI-powered CO-App Digital Health Solution translated the research into an application architecture, while the Vaccine Passport consultancy explored supervised immunisation records and trustworthy credential exchange.

Published evidence and applied projects

Frontiers in Blockchain published the peer-reviewed research in November 2020. This page preserves the publication as the parent research record and brings its two applied COVID-19 projects together beneath it without merging their separate case studies.

The project cards below lead to the complete CO-App product and architecture page and the historical Vaccine Passport consultancy page. Each retains its own evidence, scope and delivery context.

Connected COVID-19 projects

Research became
two applied systems.

The peer-reviewed research is the parent record. These two distinct projects carried its public-health, data-sharing and trust questions into application and consultancy work.
