Strengthening Personal Data Integrity through Unalterable Technology
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Plenome Technologies is making significant strides in addressing fraud in two critical areas - organ donation and voter authentication - in India. The company's innovative blockchain-based solutions, OrganEase and BlockVote, provide secure, tamper-proof, and privacy-preserving data management systems.
OrganEase, a blockchain-powered platform, is designed to manage sensitive organ donation databases securely. It ensures an immutable and transparent record of donor-recipient data, preventing unauthorized alterations or fraud. Currently, organ donations are largely tracked through information stored in spreadsheets. With OrganEase, the organ transplant process can be streamlined, offering enhanced data integrity and interoperability across organizations. The tool is currently undergoing a pilot deployment in partnership with an apex organ transplant authority in a South Indian state.
BlockVote, on the other hand, is a blockchain-based remote voting system that enables secure and verifiable elections, allowing voting from mobile devices at any location. The system was successfully used in IIT Madras student elections and offers a novel pay-per-use model for remote elections in large organizations. Its distributed ledger technology ensures that votes are securely recorded, verifiable, and resistant to tampering or fraud, thereby increasing trust in voter authentication and the election process.
Both solutions leverage Plenome's patent-backed distributed ledger technology (DLT) framework to protect user privacy and ensure security, interoperability, and scalability across different organizations and geographical regions. This combination of blockchain and AI technologies enables secure data transfers, fraud prevention, and smooth operations at scale in sensitive domains like healthcare and voting.
Plenome Technologies, a start-up incubated by IIT-Madras, recently raised funds. Prof Prabhu Rajagopal of IIT-Madras, a Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Awardee, is a Co-founder at Plenome Technologies. The BlockVote tool assumes significance in the context of frequent voter fraud allegations, and could potentially allow non-resident voters to cast their ballot from any part of India.
The company's BlockVote software uses a private blockchain framework to cryptographically authenticate voter IDs. Rajagopal explains that a generic blockchain platform is too large for specific use cases, and Plenome chose to build a private blockchain. The tool was piloted during the previous IIT-Madras student elections.
Moreover, Plenome Technologies has patented a framework based on blockchain technology to authenticate organ donors. Once data moves through blockchain chains, the details of a completed transaction or check cannot be changed, providing an immutable record of organ donation transactions.
In the realm of organ donation and voter authentication, Plenome Technologies is leading the charge towards a more secure, transparent, and fraud-free future in India.
