S1E8: Leveraging Distributed Ledgers for Privacy Assurance with Jim Nasr

Today, I am joined by Jim Nasr, CEO of Acoer. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jim on several projects during my 6-month stint as Privacy Strategist for Hedera. Jim joins me today to discuss the use of distributed ledger tech (DLT) to provide computational trust for real-time applications. Jim and I speak about the development of secure, privacy-preserving, and traceable technologies, which can gain adoption via open protocols and usable interfaces.

In part one of this two-episode conversation, Jim explains Acoer's approach to building DLT-enabled software and its initial application to healthcare and clinical trials. Jim shares his background and experience in tech both academically and professionally; as an entrepreneur in software development; his roles in large-scale tech companies and with the government at the CDC; and how he enjoyed “getting his hands dirty” in public health to bring automated trust and accountability to the space. At Acoer, Jim continues his previous work - to build open technologies - by leveraging DLT and also building interfaces with usable privacy and security.

In this conversation, Jim also covers the security and privacy approaches that Acoer takes to ensure that its products work as advertised and so that the machinery of its clients is never compromised.
