Today the Chopra Foundation, an organization created by alternative-medicine advocate Deepak Chopra, announced its partnership with Hedera Hashgraph, a decentralized public network. The Foundation seeks to use Hedera’s distributed ledger technology (DLT) to create a platform to combat rising suicide rates and support mental health by sharing the resources of the Never Alone Campaign. This project is not to be confused with the Never Alone Initiative that supports the surviving families of military personnel.
Deepak Chopra expressed the Foundation’s long-time vision in creating a network ‘to democratize access to mental and emotional health resources.’ He further stipulates the importance of such resources being authentic and trustworthy, and believes that Hedera’s DLT could help. According to Chopra, Hedera’s Consensus Service would ‘guarantee the authenticity of content through a verifiable, timestamped log of events.’
It must be remembered that a hashgraph or blockchain does not prove the authenticity and trustworthiness of the actual stored information, it only guarantees that the information has not been changed from its original source.
