The MyBaby Launch Ceremony was jointly hosted by the Center for Reproductive
Medicine of Renji Hospital and the Shanghai Quality Control Center for Assisted
Reproductive Technology. By combining the professional assurance services of
DNV with VeChain's advanced blockchain technology, MyBaby enables the
verification of key steps of In-Vitro fertilization (IVF) and provides private,
exclusive, end-to-end data access for prospective parents undergoing treatment.
By embracing cutting edge technology, Renji Hospital commits itself to further
enhancing equity and quality of life for patients.
A New Era in Fertility Treatment
MyBaby is the first service of its kind to combine the merits of third-party
assured data verification with the immutability of blockchain technology. All
information, imagery and data trails, from imagery produced by medical tools to
the delivery of the zygote itself will be securely uploaded on VeChainThor
blockchain and only accessible to authorized users of the MyBaby Application.
MyBaby allows users to view and track the extraction, labelling and scoring of
fertilized eggs as well as the cultivation and preservation of embryos. The
application also solves the traditional problems associated with the privacy of
sensitive medical data. The cryptographically secured properties of blockchain
technology create a secure and reliable environment and enhance the user
experience in a way that is unprecedented in the IVF field.
Renji Hospital and VeChain at the Forefront of Healthcare Innovation
An agreement on further cooperation of the blockchain project was also signed
between Renji Hospital and VeChain during the event. According to Sun Yun,
Director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Renji Hospital, "The
combination of assisted reproductive medicine and blockchain technology creates
incredible chemistry, making Renji Hospital the first in its line to probe such
innovation. We will be offering more trustworthy, private, secured services."
Not afraid to innovate, the Renji hospital has been at the forefront of
progress in the medical-blockchain space. In 2019, Renji Hospital officially
announced (
) its joining of the Digital Carbon Ecosystem (
), initiated by DNV and VeChain. Later, it announced a joint partnership with
VeChain and DNV to spearhead the world's first blockchain-enabled Intelligent
Tumor Treatment Center (
).
Sunny Lu, Co-founder and CEO of VeChain, commented, "We continue to see an
increase in opportunities in our partnership with Renji Hospital, thanks to our
unique approach of 'blockchain + data quality assurance' model alongside key
strategic partner DNV. VeChain will continue delivering cost-effective and
advanced blockchain technology to the medical world and build a trustless and
multi-party digital future."
