Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY) is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to the topic of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) in the healthcare sector. Published by Partners in Digital Health, BHTY serves as a leading international open-access platform for disseminating research and innovations in this rapidly evolving field. The journal's mission is to foster a global, multi-disciplinary ecosystem by accelerating the sharing of rigorously vetted knowledge on topics such as health information systems, data integrity, supply chain management, and clinical trials.
The journal's primary service is the publication of original research, systematic reviews, and special reports from academics, innovators, and practitioners. BHTY covers a wide range of subjects, including the integration of AI, consent mechanisms, privacy preservation, and new value-based health economic models. In addition to its publishing activities, BHTY produces the annual ConV2X conference, an event that brings together industry leaders to discuss the latest advancements in healthcare platforms and decentralised technology.
A key technological feature of Blockchain in Healthcare Today is its direct integration with the Hedera network. The journal offers an "Article Proof of Origin" service, which creates a permanent and immutable public record of every published research article.

Flowcarbon is a climate technology company focused on the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM). Its mission is to make carbon markets more transparent, liquid, and accessible, through the use of blockchain technologies, thereby accelerating the flow of capital directly to projects that reduce or remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere. The company addresses critical inefficiencies in the traditional carbon market, such as opaque pricing, high transaction costs, and limited access for smaller participants.
The core of Flowcarbon's model is the tokenization of high-quality, verified carbon credits. Each token represents a real-world, certified tonne of carbon offset. This process creates a transparent and immutable record of ownership and transactions, enabling credits to be traded efficiently on digital marketplaces. One of the company’s initial token concepts was the Goddess Nature Token (GNT), designed as a liquid asset backed by a bundle of nature-based carbon credits.
By creating a more functional and efficient market infrastructure, Flowcarbon aims to provide project developers with faster access to financing and better price discovery. For buyers, from large corporations to individuals, it offers a more direct and transparent way to purchase credits and offset their carbon footprint.

Theom is a data security and governance company founded in 2020 by a team of veterans from Google, Cisco, and Yahoo. The San Francisco-based firm was created to address the challenges of securing data in modern, federated cloud environments, a problem the founders experienced firsthand while building and scaling foundational data systems such as Hadoop and BigQuery.
The company's core offering is its Data and AI Operations Center, a platform that provides a unified control plane for data security and governance. Theom's technology works by focusing on the data itself, rather than the perimeter, to monitor and control access. The platform can map data flows and user identity in real-time without the use of agents, enforce least-privilege access policies, and detect threats before they escalate. It integrates with major cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS, providing security for everything from cloud data warehouses to generative AI pipelines.
Theom utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable audit log of all actions taken on a customer's data. Every event, from data classification and risk remediation to simple observation, is logged on the Hedera network.
