MDS claims to have used blockchain to protect clinical test results, protect patient personal data, and prevent falsification of Covid test results. The MDS website says:

“In order to avoid falsifying negative results, we started to certify SARS-CoV-2 detection tests with blockchain technology and cryptographic signatures, which protect information in a single QR code, immutable and immutable, which can be verified worldwide . “

MDS isn’t the first company in Mexico to apply blockchain to digitized cryptographic test results. In April, the Mexican National Chamber of Commerce (CANACO) announced a government-sponsored initiative to digitize vaccination records in collaboration with the private blockchain technology company Xertify.

In August, representatives of the blockchain industry in Australia also pushed for the introduction of a blockchain-based vaccine registry to prevent the spread of fake COVID-19 vaccine passports online.
