Blockchains Are the Building Blocks of Better Healthcare

Blockchains Are the Building Blocks of Better Healthcare

Contemporary healthcare information systems are exceptionally fragmented. While growing volumes of personal healthcare data are being created by a plethora of sources – from physicians to pharmacies, laboratories to hospitals, even our mobile phones, and smart devices – the information remain, in almost every case, isolated within data silos – segregated and inaccessible from outside the confines of closed and proprietary systems.

Not only is this inefficient, but it restricts the ability of a healthcare provider to operate with the most complete set of patient information available in real-time in order to deliver optimal health outcomes.

A single global blockchain can serve as the basis for a universal global electronic health record, offering a secure digital environment capable of storing and managing patient information in a verifiable manner, publicly accessible in real-time by anyone in the healthcare service provider chain (if authorized by the patient).
