Blockchain technology, through smart contracts, is an innovative solution to overcome the problem of data manipulation. Blockchain as an immutable distributed digital ledger, provides guarantees of data security and integrity. By adopting smart contracts in data collection, it can increase the speed of information access, reduce the risk of manipulation and provide a high level of transparency.
