A PATIENT-CENTERED APPROACH TO BLOCK CHAINS IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY
The immutability and decentralized nature of blockchains make them a secure option for transferring and storing data. Each node in the chain is a self-contained unit with its own set of information as well as an integral part of the whole. As a result, the network is governed not by an external entity, but by those directly involved in data upkeep and dissemination. Blockchain is used in the healthcare business for electronic medical records and clinical trial data storage and exchange, as well as for the creation of mobile health applications and monitoring systems. It's also used for something called "insurance information management." Although blockchain is not now the subject of intensive study in the healthcare sector, it is expected to usher in major changes to the industry in the near future. Blockchain's distributed ledger design offers the potential to improve data security and accessibility for patient records. This shows that patients have decision-making power over their healthcare, in contrast to the standard healthcare delivery model.
