Hotel giant InterContinental start using blockchain tool MyCare

The international conglomerate InterContinental Hotel Group will start using VeChain and DNV GL’s blockchain tool MyCare.

The tool, developed with VeChain and DNV GL, will be used to create health certificates that will be issued to guests and employees. In this way, the conglomerate is trying to reduce the risk of infection from the coronavirus pandemic.

MyCare is used to document the risk of COVID-19 infection and to manage and securely store the data. The tool uses the VeChain ToolChain Baas platform. According to local news media, certificates issued with MyCare will allow IHG to continue to operate under the strict compliance regulations established during the pandemic. In addition, it was reported that the launch of MyCare was announced during the World AI Conference (WAIC).

The introduction of MyCare is also intended as a response to an initiative by the Shanghai provincial government to promote a more responsible and environmentally friendly community. For this reason, the Shanghai government has begun to introduce blockchain technology into various areas of local life. Most of these applications are aimed at improving people’s health and lives, according to local news media.
