Using blockchain in healthcare
Session
Computer Science and Communication Engineering
Description
lockchain technology has emerged as a technology innovation with the potential to transform various industries, including healthcare. The use of blockchain technology in healthcare is a promising solution that has the potential to revolutionize the way healthcare data is managed and shared. Blockchain technology provides a decentralized and intangible system that can be accessed by authorized parties from anywhere in the world. Blockchain enables secure and transparent management of trial data, ensuring the integrity of results and preventing data manipulation. Smart contracts can automate consent management, simplify participant recruitment, and facilitate data sharing between researchers while protecting patient privacy. This means that healthcare data can be shared securely and efficiently between patients, healthcare providers and other stakeholders. Additionally, the use of blockchain technology can help ensure the integrity and authenticity of healthcare data, which is critical to ensuring patient safety and privacy. Blockchain also enables the creation of decentralized platforms for sharing anonymous health data, fostering collaboration and accelerating medical research and innovation. Also, blockchain technology can improve the pharmaceutical supply chain by tracking the movement of drugs from manufacturers to patients. By recording every transaction on the blockchain, stakeholders can ensure the authenticity and origin of drugs, reduce counterfeiting and improve drug safety. This abstract highlights the benefits of using blockchain technology in healthcare, including increased security, improved data sharing, and improved patient outcomes.
