【Podcast】New Economy of Data in the Future - Interview with Associate Professor Wang Jijuan, Department of Pharmacy, National Taiwan University

Blockchain allows people to control the flow of their own money without having to rely on financial services provided by centralized institutions. When money returns to individual authorization and is no longer subject to the management of centralized institutions, decentralized finance (DeFi) services begin to sprout.

Blockchain is a network of assets, and cash flow is only an asset in a narrow sense. Assets in a broad sense also include data generated by people anytime, anywhere. And these data are currently scattered in the hands of different centralized institutions, such as social platforms, online shooting platforms or government agencies. If these data can be "lived", there is an opportunity to make them play a greater economic value.

The guest of this episode is Associate Professor Wang Jijuan of the Department of Pharmacy of National Taiwan University. She often has to ask the hospital for people's medical information in her research, so she is quite familiar with how to authorize and use the information. We all believe that if data gradually returns to personal control in the future, not only can individuals get their due remuneration, but it will also be more convenient for research institutions to access data.

This episode includes:

1. Why is it difficult to circulate medical data at present?
2. Why Difficulty Accessing Data Is Bad For Everyone
3. How Blockchain Makes Data "Alive"
4. Prerequisites for data to be reborn
