The telecommunications company Swisscom announced their venture into blockchain technology with Swisscom Blockchain “as a forerunner in innovation and tech” in September last year, reports Digipharm, an e-health provider from Zug. In future, Digipharm will be collaborating with Swisscom’s blockchain spin-off “in the areas of development, infrastructure, and overall strategy”.
The partnership intends to pave the way for bringing “fair pricing to healthcare and push the transition towards personalised therapy”, explains Ahmed Abdulla, founder and CEO of Digipharm, in the press release. Swisscom is confident that “their platforms and vision are well placed to lead the advance of real world uptake for blockchain technology in healthcare,” as Sven Möller, Head of ICO at Swisscom Blockchain explained.
A minimum viable product is currently in development, with the launch planned to take place immediately after the initial coin offering.
