How Identity will Create a Nation of Healthcare Heroes | Andre Boysen | TEDxKelowna
We can share our organs to save a life when we die, but we can’t share our healthcare data to save many lives while we’re alive.

Whitepapers
A Primer and Action Guide to Decentralized Identity
We’ve In an increasingly digital world affected by ever-mounting fraud and privacy concerns, digital identity and the security and assurance of identity data is becoming a crucial consideration for public and private sector organizations. However, digital identity as it currently exists with its centralized username and password focus, is insufficient for solving the identity problems we face. When stark use cases like data portability and user control are presented, it’s clear that our existing solutions don’t represent true identity – standalone biometric selfies matched with photo IDs do not make a strong digital identity – and that decentralized digital identity enables much more flexibility.
The Future of Digital Identity in Education
The education industry needs to collectively set a high standard and guarantee the secure access and exchange of digital data to maintain trust and transparency, while also protecting the student experience and the educational institutions’ financial health.

Identity Verification for the Legal Profession
In the legal profession, identification and verification are critical. Lawyers must identify clients for all legal services they provide and verify clients’ identities when providing direction in respect of receiving, paying or transferring funds on behalf of a client.

Rethinking Identity in the 21st Century
We’ve been trying to crack the online identity management problem since modern computing started, but the industry has a history of repeating the same mistakes. Service providers are losing more of their customers’ credentials to online thieves than at any point in history. Customer interactions are slow, awkward and filled with mistrust. And it’s all happening because we’ve been thinking about identity the wrong way. Cars did not come from continued investment in horse husbandry. The industry needs a new approach.
An Ecosystem Approach to Frictionless Digital Identity
