McKinsey recently stated that Web3 is one of the top trends for 2022. 2023 is going to be an exciting time for the increased adoption of decentralised data solutions. This should strongly signal to companies, organisations, and thought-leaders that early engagement in industry discussions about how Solid can add value to a Web3 transformation strategy, is a key activity in becoming pioneers in your sector.
The last few years have accelerated the demand for shared data across services, pushing interoperability to the forefront, accompanied by advances in Web 3.0 Semantic Web decentralised data and identity and the Solid Pod Specification. Speaking to this demand, Pods can power ecosystems of interoperable applications where individuals are free to use their data seamlessly across different applications and services.
Quick update on anything new or any other changes.
David is a Co-Founder of CDD Services which provides consultancy, services, and software to digitally transform customer, employee, and supplier due diligence. Soon to be a certified ID and Attribute Service Provider under the Government’s Digital Trust Framework.
David will introduce two products – SafeGuarden and Spotlite – and will talk about the benefits of building these products with an architecture using Solid Pods, as well as put out a Collaboration Call for help getting these products to market. There is a particular interest in those operating within the Greater Manchester Social Care sector.
SafeGuarden: is a Community Interest Company (CIC) allowing individuals to mutually own, control and share personal data. Businesses using personal data hosted in Safeguarden no longer have the requirement of them to keep an individual’s contact information up-to-date or worry about how they communicate with an individual – they only need to link to the relevant Pod.
Spotlite: links to SafeGuarden for Due Diligence processes. Such as Customer Due Diligence, like Right to Rent and KYC; Employee Due Diligence, like Right to Work, Pre-Employment Screening and Onboarding; and Supplier Due Diligence, like preventing modern slavery and qualification or DBS checks – saving time and money by removing friction from the user journey. Spotlite enables the mobilisation of services and resources quickly whilst asynchronously providing evidence of compliance with external regulation and internal policy.
John is a Senior Programme Lead at NHS England. Last year the G7 health ministers made a commitment to increase use of the International Patient Summary. John will talk about the Proof of Concept work that NHS England subsequently commissioned and the potential role of PODS.
Stephen is a Chief Information Officer at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. He will explore the opportunity to improve our experience of accessing public services – a perspective from an NHS Trust level.
Max is a Principal Technologist at Inrupt and he will introduce what Inrupt does and will explain the Enterprise Solid Server.
