Development of a Blockchain-enabled privacy-preserving solution to enhance opioid prevention and senior care applications

Lifeguard Health is a B2B SaaS provider in public health with solutions to reduce harm in the opioid crisis and senior care. During 2020, the pandemic deaths accelerated opioid crisis and had a high impact in senior care. Subsequently, the opioid crisis solution was deployed in the province of BC and the contactless senior care solution has begun trials.

During the internship, a privacy-preserving blockchain-enabled transmission channel that augments the trust of the users, who are wary of compromised security during the app communication with emergency centres, will be developed. The project may also design a blockchain-enabled opioid supply chain system, to be piped into the Lifeguard App solution, to curb the spread of illegal opioids.
