The purpose of this activity is to initiate a global effort to enable the Blockchain-based
Omnidirectional Pandemic Surveillance (BOPS), which includes the following objectives:
• To develop standards, recommended practices and guides for cross-industry data
sharing and interactions using a blockchain-based approach for the purpose of efficient
and transparent pandemic surveillance (collectively also known as Standards for
Blockchain-based Omnidirectional Pandemic Surveillance);
• To develop open-source reference implementations for the new systems and
applications needed in the Blockchain-based Omnidirectional Pandemic Surveillance;
• To solicit commitments and reach consensuses among key stakeholders regionally and
globally to advocate the Blockchain-based Omnidirectional Pandemic Surveillance on
a global basis.
