解码生物识别NFT的潜力重塑医疗保健和生物技术行业

技术创新的快速发展，尤其是人工智能（AI）和机器学习（ML），正在重塑众多部门

The rapid evolution of technological innovation, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), is transforming numerous sectors at an unprecedented pace. These advancements are critically dependent on the availability and quality of data, as higher-quality data lead to more significant insights and outcomes. Among various data types, biometric data stand out for their depth and potential utility, ranging from daily health indicators to complex genomic profiles¹. This vast array of data enables a sophisticated understanding of health and lifestyle patterns, enhancing predictive models for pharmacological interventions and physiological simulations conducted *in silico².

技术创新的快速发展，特别是在人工智能（AI）和机器学习（ML）中，正在以前所未有的速度改变众多部门。这些进步主要取决于数据的可用性和质量，因为高质量的数据导致了更重要的见解和结果。在各种数据类型中，生物识别数据在深度和潜在效用方面脱颖而出，范围从日常健康指标到复杂的基因组概况1。这一大量数据使人们对健康和生活方式模式有了复杂的了解，增强了在Silico2中进行的药理干预措施和生理模拟的预测模型。

However, the accumulation and management of such sensitive biometric data pose significant ethical and governance challenges, particularly regarding ownership rights, which are rarely conferred upon the data creators. This misalignment between data generation and proprietary rights raises serious concerns about privacy, control, and the equitable use of personal information³. Traditional methods—such as encryption⁴, secure hardware⁵, anonymization⁶, and zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs)⁷—ensure privacy and security, but they primarily focus on access control rather than decentralized ownership or monetization. While ZKPs support privacy-preserving authentication, they are computationally intensive and lack data portability. Privacy-focused databases ensure regulatory compliance but depend on centralized trust, limiting user autonomy. In contrast, NFTs offer a decentralized framework enabling verifiable ownership, secure transactions, and traceability. When combined with advanced cryptographic methods, NFTs present a scalable and privacy-enhancing solution for sensitive data management.

但是，这种敏感生物识别数据的积累和管理构成了重大的道德和治理挑战，尤其是关于所有权，这些权利很少授予数据创建者。数据生成和专有权利之间的不对准引起了人们对隐私，控制和公平使用个人信息的严重关注。3。传统方法（例如Encryption4，Secure Hardware5，Anonymization6和零知识证明（ZKPS）7）都确保隐私和安全性，但它们主要集中在访问控制上，而不是分散的所有权或货币化。尽管ZKPS支持保护隐私的身份验证，但它们在计算密集程度上且缺乏数据可移植性。以隐私为重点的数据库可确保法规合规性，但依赖集中式信任，从而限制用户自主权。相比之下，NFT提供了一个分散的框架，可实现可验证的所有权，安全交易和可追溯性。当与先进的加密方法结合使用时，NFT会为敏感数据管理提供可扩展和隐私的增强解决方案。

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have emerged as a transformative solution to these challenges. NFTs are unique digital tokens powered by blockchain technology, presenting scarce digital assets with distinct value within a blockchain network. While previous studies have explored the integration of biometric data with NFTs^2,8,9,10, they have remained largely conceptual, focusing on theoretical discussions. In contrast, the objective of this study is to develop a secure and decentralized framework—Cell-NFT—for the ownership, management, and application of biometric data using NFT technology.

无杀菌令牌（NFT）已成为解决这些挑战的一种变革解决方案。 NFTS是由区块链技术提供支持的独特数字代币，在区块链网络中呈现具有独特价值的稀缺数字资产。虽然先前的研究探讨了生物识别数据与NFTS2,8,9,10的整合，但它们在很大程度上仍然是概念上的，重点是理论讨论。相比之下，这项研究的目的是为使用NFT技术对生物识别数据的所有权，管理和应用开发一个安全和分散的框架。

Unlike prior research in domains like the Internet of Vehicles (IoV)^11,12, the Cell-NFT framework introduces innovations tailored for healthcare. These innovations include standardized data management, robust ownership mechanisms, and cryptographic privacy-enhancing techniques, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations in healthcare and biotechnology.

与以前在诸如车辆互联网（IOV）11,12之类的领域研究不同，Cell-NFT框架介绍了为医疗保健量身定制的创新。这些创新包括标准化数据管理，强大的所有权机制和加密隐私增强技术，以确保遵守医疗保健和生物技术中的数据保护法规。

Traditional database systems, despite their efficiency in storing and retrieving data, rely on centralized control for access management and data integrity. This centralized approach carries risks such as unauthorized modifications, lack of transparency, and dependence on intermediaries for trust. Conversely, blockchain technology provides a decentralized solution, where data integrity is cryptographically verifiable, and records are tamper-proof. By integrating these features, the Cell-NFT framework ensures that biometric data ownership and transactions are transparent, auditable, and invulnerable to manipulation.

传统数据库系统尽管它们在存储和检索数据方面效率，但仍依靠集中控制来访问管理和数据完整性。这种集中的方法具有未经授权的修改，缺乏透明度以及对中介机构的信任的风险。相反，区块链技术提供了一个分散的解决方案，在该解决方案上，数据完整性在密码上可验证，并且记录是防篡改的。通过集成这些功能，Cell-NFT框架可确保生物识别数据所有权和交易是透明，可审核的，并且对操纵是无敌的。

The metadata schema for Cell-NFTs is not merely a replication of traditional database functions but is designed to capitalize on blockchain’s unique advantages in data security and provenance tracking. Unlike conventional databases, where data integrity relies on a central authority, blockchain-based metadata guarantees tamper-proof records, cryptographically verifiable ownership, and decentralized access control. This approach is crucial in biomedical applications, demanding regulatory compliance, transparency, and auditability. Traditional databases are susceptible to unauthorized modifications and necessitate significant trust in intermediaries, whereas blockchain mitigates these concerns by providing a transparent and immutable ledger of all recorded interactions. Through the integration of these features, our approach achieves substantial improvements in data integrity, security, and long-term reliability compared to conventional storage solutions.

用于细胞-NFT的元数据模式不仅是传统数据库功能的复制，而且旨在利用区块链在数据安全和出处跟踪中的独特优势。与传统数据库不同，数据完整性依赖中央权威，基于区块链的元数据保证了防篡改的记录，可验证的所有权和分散的访问控制。这种方法对于生物医学应用至关重要，要求法规的依从性，透明度和可审核性至关重要。传统的数据库容易受到未经授权的修改的影响，并且需要对中介机构进行重大信任，而区块链通过提供所有记录的互动的透明且可变的分类帐来减轻这些问题。通过集成这些功能，与常规存储解决方案相比，我们的方法可以实现数据完整性，安全性和长期可靠性的实质性改善。

Our research presents a pioneering methodology that integrates biometric data into NFTs to establish robust ownership records. Tokenizing biometric information preserves individual uniqueness and represents biological identity within the digital sphere, facilitating the secure certification of data ownership. Biometric NFTs, encompassing comprehensive digital life data, enable their governance and exchange across diverse digital platforms and marketplaces. The accompanying metadata schema is designed to boost both accessibility and practical use by streamlining data sharing and transactions, enhancing management workflows and reinforcing the foundation of a secure and efficient digital health infrastructure.

我们的研究提出了一种开创性的方法，该方法将生物特征数据集成到NFT中以建立强大的所有权记录。令牌化生物特征信息可以保留个人的独特性，并代表数字领域内的生物身份，从而促进了数据所有权的安全认证。生物识别NFT，涵盖了综合数字生活数据，可以在不同的数字平台和市场上进行治理和交流。随附的元数据模式旨在通过简化数据共享和交易，增强管理工作流程并加强安全有效的数字健康基础设施的基础来提高可访问性和实际使用。

Tokenized biometric data have diverse applications, including use by hospitals and pharmaceutical companies. To address limitations in current NFT-based healthcare and biotechnology solutions, our framework employs a metadata schema and ecosystem designed for optimal data security, efficient processes, and improved accessibility. This tokenization introduces societal benefits, such as improved data management security and the emergence of new industries focused on innovative digital assets. Moreover, the work underscores the concept of individuality in the digital age, presenting both challenges and opportunities at the intersection of human behavior, ethics, and societal norms.
