Food supply may be tracked, authenticated, and evaluated by a variety of systems, processes, and techniques. In certain implementations, computer systems at various animal producers in the food supply chain (e.g., ranch and feedlot) may record and generate data regarding an animal (e.g., breed, age, location, hydration regimen, health history, etc.) and report this to a server system, which may process the data in an authenticated manner. Entities further down the chain (e.g., retailers) may access the server system to retrieve information about meat products and use this in sales efforts. Consumers may also retrieve information about meat products so that they may make informed buying decisions. Additionally, feedback may be provided to animal producers regarding the meat, which may encourage them to continue producing quality animals. Data may also be monetized, and a portion reinvested back to the food producer to assist in labor costs associated with system compliance.

Systems may provide a client access and use of secure data with authorization from a server. In the systems there may be a number of relevant party roles, and a user may have one or more of the roles. The roles may be implicitly or explicitly assigned. Related apparatus, systems, articles, and techniques are also described.

A procedure of unified registration and universal identification in any territory of spatially locatable objects, in order to achieve interoperability between objects or spatial locations, different types of computing systems, the procedure comprising: generation of a unique and non-transferable identifier for each connected, smart and spatial object device, in the URN UUID, OID and DID formats, without discarding others; creation of a DID document associated with the generated identifier; association of different identifiers of the object and of the user/owner; assignment of permissions, roles and creation of access control list (ACL); creation of encryption keys associated with the ACL; save in the DID document both data, service identifiers and other associated identifiers, as well as necessary permissions for accessing to object data; digital fingerprint generation of the DID document using hash; associated data and hash storage in the system and in one or more DLTs or blockchain networks.

The technology herein relates to a troubleshooting system for remote patient monitoring. A plurality of triggering conditions defines a data transmission error between a sensor and a remote location. A data transmission log is configured to receive characterization data defining each successful data transmission between a communicator and the remote location. An input user interface is configured to receive input from a user and an output user interface is configured to provide notification to a user. Processing circuitry is in communication with the input interface and the output interface, where the processing circuitry is configured to compare each of the triggering conditions to the characterization data to identify a data transmission error. Upon identification of the data transmission error, the processing circuitry causes the output interface to present a query to the user.

A method is provided of anonymising data in a surgical robotic system. The surgical robotic system comprises a robot having a base and an arm extending from the base to an attachment for an instrument, the arm comprising a plurality of joints whereby the configuration of the arm can be altered. The method comprises receiving a data stream captured by the surgical robotic system, the data stream comprising data relating to a surgical procedure and comprising personally-identifiable data; determining one or more personally-identifiable feature in the received data stream; and generating, in dependence on the determined personally-identifiable feature and the received data stream, an anonymised data stream omitting the personally-identifiable data.

A blockchain-based program is provided to transform personal medical records, history and documentation of a participant to: seek appointments with medical practitioners; streamline flow of medical diagnostics; provide checks and balances to counteract improper medical exams, tests, over-prescription medication; and reward users with providing credit towards their healthcare bills and premiums for living a healthy and active life styles. Advertising content, paid for by a private-party advertiser, is provided to the participant to provide additional credit for consumption of the advertising content. Organ donation is coordinated immediately at least partially based on the transformed medical records of the blockchain-based program, as is facilitation of the participant to purchase medication. Organized and/or tracked shipment and a recycling program for the medication are also available. Ability to process and expedite with absolute transparency every single health insurance claim made by a citizen.

A system, program code, and method steps including connecting to a network; registering as a member node of the network; determining a hash of a public key broadcasted on the network; based on the determining step, matching the public key with an address of a wallet stored on the member node, the wallet comprises at least one of a mobile phone-based wallet, a desktop-based wallet, a hardware-based wallets, a crystal-based wallets; based on the matching step, decrypting the public key; comparing the decrypted public key to a private key stored in the wallet; and based on the comparing step, sending a predetermined amount of cryptocurrency to a sender of the public key.

A system and method for secure wireless control of a device including, but not limited to, replay attack protection, man-in-the-middle protection, data obfuscation, and challenge-response authentication. The system includes a control device, a controlled device interface, a controlled device, a control device interface, and a wireless link. The controlled device interface and the control device interface manage secure communications between the control device and the controlled device over the wireless link. The controlled device can include a medical device such as, for example, but not limited to, an insulin pump and a wheelchair.

Systems and methods are disclosed with respect to using a blockchain for managing the subrogation claim process related to a vehicle accident, in particular, utilizing a vehicle's mode of operation as part of the subrogation process. An exemplary embodiment includes receiving sensor data; determining that a vehicle collision occurred based upon, at least in part, analysis of the sensor data, such as image, audio, telematics, or autonomous vehicle system data; determining an operational mode for the vehicle based upon, at least in part, analysis of the sensor data, and the operational mode at the time of the accident; determining a percentage of fault for a driver or autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle system, or lack thereof, based upon the sensor data, and whom or which autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicle system was in control of the vehicle at the time of the vehicle collision.

A system and method for digital smart wallet communications that operates by managing separately-owned, private blockchains to reduce processing times, eliminate proof of work burdens, and retain blockchain immutable security while allowing protection of confidential information contained on each blockchain. The system and method may further comprise auditability of blockchains, and may be operated on an integrated communications platform that allows seamless interoperability of communication devices across multiple modes of communication, and automates digital smart wallet transactions.
