Federation of State Medical Boards Launches Blockchain Pilot Program
“The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) has become the first professional membership organization to issue official documents to the blockchain … Physician ownership of their official qualifications is possible through the blockchain certificates open standard (“Blockcerts”). As a result of this standard, professionals can hold and share their records using a credential wallet, a free mobile app. The Blockcerts Wallet serves as a user-owned portfolio to which no vendor or issuing institution has access. Behind the scenes, it seamlessly manages the user’s public and private blockchain addresses so that the process of owning one’s digital assets is radically simplified.”
