We live in an age of information explosion. Data is everywhere, but the truly valuable thing—healthcare data—is stuck in a deadlock.
On one side are pharmaceutical companies and AI research teams who are eager and anxious; they crave high-quality medical imaging, genetic data, and clinical cases. This data can train smarter diagnostic models, accelerate new drug development, and has infinite value. On the other side? The true owners of the data—hospitals and patients—are holding on tightly. They worry about privacy leaks, misuse of data, and having their rights trampled. The result is: data lying dormant on servers, value frozen, and innovation stifled.
This is a real dilemma. What Codatta aims to do is to literally cut this deadlock open using blockchain technology.
**From Deadlocked Data to Living Assets**
The old approach was very simple and crude: either the data did not flow at all, or it was sold off completely at once, after which both parties went their separate ways. Codatta has changed the game. It packages medical data as on-chain assets, providing each data set with a "digital ID card." Where does the data come from? How is it anonymized? What is its structure? All this information is printed on the blockchain and cannot be tampered with. You can think of it as each piece of data having a unique "biometric fingerprint."
What does this mean? It means that hospitals and patients finally have a voice. Data is no longer a one-time commodity, but an asset that can be tracked, controlled, and can yield continuous benefits.

This idea is indeed good, but the key is whether privacy protection can really be implemented. Just recording a hash value on-chain feels far from enough.
