Advancing Independence and Cooperation with the Health Utility Grid

According to the World Health Organization, up to 5 billion people could lack access to essential health services by 2030. The Health Utility Grid (HUG) is a global initiative that seeks to integrate the utility of several new areas of emerging technology: blockchain, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and privacy/dignity preserving techniques such as zero knowledge proofs in order to put the power  of self-sovereign identity and self-determination into the patients’ hands.

HUG is creating methodology and means to provide comprehensive technology-based fulfillment on a fair and equitable basis. HUG is modelled on and derives its values from the UN SDG Framework, applying best practice through standardized platforms and processes that will remain affordable and effective in every society and mindful of cultural differences.

This session will give an overview of this concept and outline a road map for utilizing this advanced array of technologies to improve global health.
