That’s the idea behind MedLink, a blockchain company dreamed up by three students completing their Master’s of Management in Finance at McGill University. Philippe Benjamin-Duranceau is one of its founding members. On this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, he walks us through how blockchain could make transferring medical records as easy as sending an email – an innovation that could save time and lives.Host Eric Dicaire sits down with Philippe Benjamin-Duranceau, a soon-to-be graduate of McGill University’s Master’s of Management in Finance, and Professor Katrin Tinn, Associate Professor of Finance at McGill University. They talk about Philippe’s new company, MedLink, and how it plans to use blockchain technology to simplify the transfer of medical records from one location to the next.MedLink was one of the winners of last year’s Innovation for Impact competition, which invites Master’s and undergraduate students to create for-profit and non-profit entrepreneurial initiatives related to the UN’s Environmental, Social, and Governance goals. Students present their ideas to a panel of local business leaders, who decide the winners. Winners receive funding to further develop their initiative. Details are here. STAY IN TOUCHhttps://bit.ly/3TiUFVw - LinkedIn, @mcgilldelvehttps://bit.ly/3Hyt6oI - YouTube, @McGillDelvehttps://bit.ly/3ZXbxVz - Instagram, McGillDelvehttps://bit.ly/3ZrNsWR - Facebook, DelveMcGillEmail us: [email protected] MCGILL DELVEMcGill Delve is the official thought leadership publication of the Desautels Faculty of Management at McGill University.
