Apierion team-up aims to stop corruption at Winter Olympics
Bermudian-based global healthcare solutions firm Apierion is collaborating with the Truce Foundation, inspired by the Olympic Truce.
“Together, we are defending the integrity of the Olympics against its biggest threat: corruption from athletic performance doping,” a spokesman for Apierion said.
“To fight this, we are promoting clarity through the online Truce Compliance Index, monitoring doping incidents and trends during the XXV Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, Italy, in February.”
Hugh Dugan, founder of the Truce Foundation, said deploying Apierion’s innovative Digital Medical Twin technology, the Truce Compliance Index, will securely present, validate and chart anti-doping compliance while preserving athlete privacy and data sovereignty.
“Peace through sport depends on fairness, transparency and trust,” he said. “Apierion’s Digital Medical Twin provides the critical information to make anti-doping compliance measurable and interoperable, without compromising human rights or athlete privacy,” he said.
Apierion said the original Olympic Truce called for safe passage and participation of all to the games passing through warring regions.
In today’s digital age, this includes athletes’ bodily safety from doping and the defence of the integrity of the games.
“Apierion is the pacesetter for secure and immediate access to athletes’ health information during the heat of elite competition,” the firm said.
Michael Dershem, chief executive of Apierion, said Olympians dedicate their lives to fair play and they deserve systems that protect both their health and their dignity.
“The Digital Medical Twin was designed to ensure data integrity, privacy and trust,” he said. “By bringing our data to the Truce Compliance Index, we are helping Olympians, countries and sporting bodies demonstrate compliance and transparency, without exposing sensitive personal data.”
Apierion’s Digital Medical Twin combines blockchain-based immutability with AI-driven analytics to securely record and validate key anti-doping compliance elements such as verified testing events, therapeutic use exemptions and longitudinal biomarker trends.
All data is indexed in a privacy-preserving manner, enabling anonymised, population-level insights while maintaining strict control at the individual athlete level.
AI-enabled analytics assess compliance trends across athletes and countries, supporting cross-border co-operation and reinforcing confidence in competition. For Olympians, this means clearer protections, better governance and assurance that clean sport standards are applied consistently and fairly.
In continued pursuit of the Olympic ideal, Apierion and the Truce Foundation will continue collaborating with Olympic stakeholders to publicise the Truce Compliance Index, align reporting with global standards and advance a scalable, athlete-centric model for trusted compliance and health data governance.
