Biotron Data, an app by the BIOTRON FOUNDATION, lets users earn BTRN tokens by sharing their data

Biotron Data, an app by the BIOTRON FOUNDATION, lets users earn BTRN tokens by sharing their data. Since its release on June 7th, it has been downloaded almost 20,000 times and has a near perfect rating on Google Play.

Biotron Data has proven itself to be an invaluable case study into the behaviour of users as data producers. It demonstrates that they are more likely to share their data as long as they are compensated and have control over what data is being collected and how it is used.

As of right now, the application collects location data, but in following updates it will be extended with further data sets such as healthkit, social media, and data from wearables. An iOS version is planned for Q4 this year.

The collected data will be processed and transformed into analytics and insights for clients from various industries. Main examples include retail, automotive, and even local governments. Initially, Western Europe and US will be the main targets before further expansion in 2019.

The main idea behind Biotron Data was to create an app with user-friendly interface where the user is given full control over what data is being collected and how is it used. Biotron’s BTRN token serves as an incentive to motivate users to share their data.

There is an onboarding campaign in the app, in which users are awarded free BTRN tokens for registering and sharing their data.

Transformation of education in post-industrial society

Gambar
Education has always been an expensive privilege; and the education sector has always been one of the most conservative. People chose profession once in their life and did not change it until retirement. Usually education meant studying at a university; self-taught people were rare. However, in the post-industrial society changes in the shape, sense and affordability of education finally began. According to Alvin Toffler, a well-known US sociologist, the emergence of the post-industrial society is a consequence of the intellectual revolution. The possession of knowledge and information will replace financial capital as the biggest value. Development of innovations, empowered by the most educated, will become the most important sector of economy. It means that high-quality affordable education will become even more important than now. The last time when the global education experienced a serious transformation was at the very beginning of the 21st century when the wide access to the I...

After GDPR effect? In A Post Cookie World, Blockchain Is Rising

Gambar
The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was rolled out in May this year. It introduced far-reaching implications for companies which process personal data related to EU citizens. Even those far outside the EU could not fail to notice this change. Email inboxes were overflowing with opt-out reminders. Cookie banners now obscure many websites, forcing users to agree to a privacy policy so that they can browse the content on the site. Although the GDPR document itself clocks in at 88 pages, the majority of what it covers can be summed up in one word — consent. If companies are processing personal data, it must be done with the explicit, informed consent of the individual. For some forms of marketing, such as email subscriber lists, this involved minimal changes. Individuals already have to take the active step of providing their email addresses, and usually it is pretty clear why they are asked to do so. However, for the digital advertising industry, consent is far less ...
