IDG Contributor Network: Interactive and zero-knowledge proofs for better patient interactions with blockchain technology

Imagine for a minute all the healthcare situations where proof is required. Proof of a patient's healthcare coverage. Proof of a patient's name. Proof of a patient's medical history. Proof of a patient's prescription. Each question could be answered without the verifier (hospital receptionist, doctor or pharmacist) knowing anything except that the statement you told them was true. This is the power of zero-knowledge proofs.Ideation of zero-knowledge proofs
In 1985, three researchers — Shaf
