Blockchain is building a better and more importantly, a new future for everyone<\/a>. Till now, everything we were focused on was about the need to have information. By \u2018we\u2019 I mean the humanity once we had internet. The authenticity of the information was hardly looked into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were always avenues where one could access authentic information. But these avenues were still a part of a collective who found the importance of authentic information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had to hunt the authentic information out there. It has never been easy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain has changed it all. We are now in an age where things need to be authentic to have value. Whether it is the news or if it is the fine lines on the products you buy. Things are increasingly looking trustable. The advent of information age had to follow through to a better place with better everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authentic information is one of them. And, informed consent letters on the blockchain is another.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why informed? And why Blockchain?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As Bob McDonnell said, \u201dInformed consent is required for all invasive medical procedures, from getting your ears pierced to getting an abortion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Informed\u2019 is a necessary part of consent. As important as \u2018encryption\u2019 is for data security. And, as important as \u2018uneditable\u2019 is for contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without complete information, consent is meaningless. And without permission, any act is intrusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medicine has already started recording patient\u2019s consent to a surgery over the blockchain<\/a>. Every information discussed with the patient about the surgery is recorded along with the consent provided by the patient using blockchain. This makes the consent immutable and encrypted and ethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blockchain is even used for informed consent for medical trials<\/a>. There are also apps built over the blockchain which will make sure you have informed consent before sex<\/a>. There is undeniable awkwardness to the process as described in the open letter, but it serves the purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How we use the secured contracts at Springworks<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Springworks is built on the very essence of authenticity. The need to have better profiles with authentic records of the candidates saw the birth of SpringRole \u2014 professional peer-reviewed profile. The lack of authentic background verification at affordable costs saw the rise of SpringVerify \u2014 the easiest way to conduct background checks<\/a> for your team. And, the lack of authentic ATS saw the rise of SpringRecruit \u2014 the true-to-its-name forever-free Applicant Tracking System (ATS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of Springworks products help integrate authenticity and transparency into the solutions provided.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpringRole<\/a> writes the profiles to the SPRING blockchain. All the information added by the candidate is saved in a transparent and immutable ledger with the consent of the individual. Because the data is on a private blockchain, the individual owns both the information and the profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SpringVerify<\/a> makes sure the consent letters for the background checks are transparent and have authenticity built-in. This helps in more exceptional customer experience and sets exact expectation during a background check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of consent letters and consent in general between two individuals will entail clear terms which are transparent, informed and most probably saved away on a blockchain.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
