SAS &&& Blockchain

[LineMoon]

Hello Experts, Please, I would to know, if there is some solutions or products for Blockchain. Thank you

What's blockchain?

[Kurt_Bremser]

Blockchain is the cryptographic principle behind bitcoin (among others).

[SASKiwi]

Blockchain is used in financial transaction systems. SAS doesn't do these, but of course it could be used to analyse the data coming out of such systems. 

[Kurt_Bremser]

The question should therefore not be "does SAS do blockchain" (once again, a much too general question), but "can the blockchain system in question deliver data in a format readable by SAS", and should be put to those running the blockchain system.

@SASKiwi: That's right, the blockchain used in the Financial Transaction System(Bitcoin, Dash...) , it can also be also used in Health care ( Traceability of medicines ......) and transport ... It is clear that's sas can be used to analyse DATA in the second time . But , in the first time, I am very interested by the transaction system, so AS R software is connected with SAS, what does R propose ?

Ask in an R forum.

Check out this video from SAS Global Forum:

  Healthcare: Combining Blockchain and Analytics to enable greater access to care

Blockchain is a topic of interest at SAS, an emerging technology that SAS is following closely -- for the variety of applications you indicated.  For those interested in a basic overview of blockchain, see this video from SAS CTO Oliver Schabenberger:

@ChrisHemedinger: That’s right; it’s a very interesting subject about blockchain and Healthcare. It is a great topic about the improving clinical care for patients (enhancing advancement of clinical care, extending the access of clinical care, insuring the security of clinical care) So, please, I have two questions to ask  1- Traceability of drugs, is it a topic of interest? Traceability of drugs from the pharmaceutics laboratories to the patient, in order to combat counterfeiting. I am intrested by the subject.  2 - In Sas forum, do you have some functionalities can allow the users to subtitle videos and generating a text. Thank you again,
