  From Jessica Rampen, Senior Manager of Marketing Communications:

We will be doing an extra marketing push around all things Hyperledger and Healthcare this month.

What can you do? Send us content to promote! The content you submit will be queued throughout the month for us to push on our social channels with the hashtag #HyperledgerHealth. We would also appreciate any engagement with our promotion once it is live. This includes retweeting, sharing and comments in support.

If you know of a production use case of Hyperledger tech for healthcare, please email pr@hyperledger.org - we're currently working on a roundup for the Hyperledger blog and may want to include it!

Other examples of content you can submit to us for consideration:

• Pictures at blockchain events, speaking, meetups etc. related to healthcare. Or meetup videos! Please be sure to include context.
• Blogs (new or old) about Hyperledger projects related to healthcare initiatives or applications (see blog guidelines here). Consider submitting engineers to the Dev Showcase blog series.
• Case studies or whitepapers focused on blockchain applicability in healthcare

So, if you have any work that you're doing that relates to the use of Hyperledger frameworks/tools in the development of healthcare solutions that you'd like to share with an international audience, now is the time to let us know!

• Open Discussions (Rich)

  • Discussion: your thoughts on changes you'd like to see with the HC-SIG?
