Excerpt From Dallas Innovates
GreenLight Credentials CEO Manoj Kutty and his team are using blockchain technology to make records secure and shareable. The applications of the tech are two-fold: to connect students, academic institutions, and businesses by providing real-time access to lifelong learning achievements, and also to advance the treatment of mental illness in primary care settings.
Kutty compares the tech for academic data to a verified LinkedIn: From transcripts to recommendation letters, records are written into a student’s “electronic locker” by the institution that awarded the credentials. Kutty calls it the “economic mobility platform of the future”—no in-person visits or tedious, expensive processes required.
