1. A system for storing, updating, and validating medical data or information using a distributed ledger of a Blockchain distributed network and for providing reward incentives to users, the system comprising:
one or more servers forming part of the Blockchain distributed network and comprising one or more electronic storage devices storing software instructions, which when executed, configure one or more processors of the one or more servers to:
issue an open, standing request for updates to medical data at a decentralized distributed data marketplace hosted by the one or more servers from an offering user;
receive an offer to fulfil the open, standing request for the updates to the medical data with a first update from a first user;
receive the first update to the medical data from the first user;
receive indication of payment of a validation escrow fee from the first user;
issue an open, standing request for validations of the updates to the medical data; and
receive an offer to fulfil the open, standing request for the validations of the updates to the medical data for the first update from a second user;
a first executable portion of code stored at the one or more electronic storage devices, wherein the first executable portion of code is a smart contract configured to:
store a public key of the first user;
store a hash of the medical data in need of updating;
provide a first reward and the validation escrow fee to the first user for providing the first update for the medical data following successful validation of the first update by the second user;
provide the validation escrow fee to the offering user where the first update is not successfully validated by the second user;
provide a reward to the second user for validating the update for the medical data;
the distributed ledger adapted to receive a first block or transaction for storage on the distributed ledger representing or providing the first update for the medical data, the first block or transaction configured to:
store a first encrypted value encrypted using the public key of the first user;
at least one processor for use by the first user comprising software instructions which when executed by the at least one processor configures the computer to:
receive the first encrypted value;
decrypt the first encrypted value using a private key of the first user;
use the decrypted value of the first encrypted value to access a data resource; and
receive the first update to the medical data stored at the data resource;
wherein the Blockchain distributed network is a decentralized network of nodes operably connected to each other and comprising the one or more servers, wherein the nodes comprise processing devices, computers, and databases.
