Blockchain in Healthcare

[GunsLair]

As we have already found out, creating a patient database using the blockchain is not a good idea. But the blockchain in medicine can be used to record drugs and eliminate their fakes, for example.

some of the advantages that are often used by health in using blockchain technology are true, because in the world of health all of them are based on recorded data base research from time to time, so to provide the application of blockchain on this health platform is very good because it can help and know the diseases in pain and the drugs needed quickly and transactions will also be easier if you fully use cryptocurrency.

Tbh I don't see a serious need in the medical blockchain. Maybe only in the best world's hospitals.
I doubt that in poor countries people somehow care about the security of the medical data and everything still works fine without any extra audit etc.
From what I've heard the problem of cheap medical treatment is more about the qualification of doctors (and this is the most expensive aspect of expensive hospitals).
Blockchain won't help doctors to work better.

There are still countries with horrible hospital issues, the not so improved countries (mainly third world countries) like African countries and some middle east and even some Asian countries and USA do not have proper medical technology to actually heal their people and the ones that have that kind of technology unfortunately can't really afford it and make it really expensive which makes it really hard for people to get healed.

There are people in USA die from cancer because they can't afford the therapy needed to get better and sometimes they spend up to 500 thousand dollars (WOW) in order to get better but still die. In my country thankfully cancer treatment costs like 4-5 thousand dollars in total and that is because some medicine needed to be shipped from another country for specific treatments but aside from that chemo is free, not even a dollar spent on chemo. Hence, blockchain could help those poor helpless Americans to reach to world standards with the obvious difference shown on blockchain and make hospitals liable for extra charges.

This is a good point being raised here. But I would like to inform you that there are already a number of token projects looking into this same healthcare direction like you. The blockchain can be expanded to cover every sector.

Yes, healthcare in the USA is broken, but blockchain technology isn't some magic bullet that can fix that.

There are already plenty of places where you can see the price differences between hospitals, such as the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development for California: https://oshpd.ca.gov/data-and-reports/cost-transparency/hospital-chargemasters/. The issue isn't that one hospital is charging $50,000 for a caesarean section while another is charging $52,000, or that one pharmacy is charging $1,000 per month for insulin while another charges $1,100. The issue is that the real price of a caesarean section is less than $2,000 and the price of a month's supply of insulin is $20.

The issue with healthcare in the US is that it is run entirely for profit by the corporations which control it - people are seen as customers to spend money, not as patients needing care. Until these influences are removed, American healthcare will always be horrendous. Blockchain won't fix that, and even if it could, the corporations would never let it in if there was even a sliver of a chance of it cutting their ridiculous profit margins.

Blockchain technology has successively broadened and has become one of the most popular innovation in the field of technology. The blockchain is now a mature field which is now being spun out into various applications and the definition says ‘The Blockchain is a public ledger for recording every transaction happening in a particular network'.

Here are some of the most familiar properties of Blockchain:
    1. Digitalized
    2. Decentralized
    3. Democratic
    4. Distributed ledger
    5. Transparent
    6. Immutable and Indelible
    7. Trackable
    8. Auditable
    9. Safe and secure
    10. Efficient
    11. Scalable
    12. Economical

    The blockchain is a distributed ledger, which can be used for recording transactions and storing transaction details. It tracks every asset placed on a network. There is no central authority in a blockchain system, meaning all transactions are recorded, stored and shared overall network participants. The applications of Blockchain are expanding beyond all the initially defined possibilities, For eg. trading, file storage, identity management, medical records management, and education etc.

    Through this blog, Let's look at how pivotal this new form of technology will help the healthcare industry grow.
   
    An accurate medical record is essential for proper healthcare management. Perfect medical records are fundamental for the care and safety of patients. One cannot consult his health with the same medical expert throughout his life. Sooner or later of life, he may need to approach some other specialist too. So the past medical records need to be displayed to the new one.

    The healthcare industry is completely immersed in data like clinical trials, patient medical verification, complex billing, medical research, drug development and more.

Let us take an in-depth dive of blockchain in healthcare industry.

Problem is that when you lose private keys you lose access to the datas. What you will do when all your medical information are lost? Do all expensive tests again?

From the previous ICO that we have been seeing it is of good mention that finally blockchain is making its way to healthcare industry. Truly this will be a good help and will be a lot more convenient if payments for services and procedures. But the threat for this is the security of patients identity and profiles. If there will be a good partner storage for this then might as well this will be a good innovation to be adapted by hospitals and health clinics

this will be very good, because community services about health will be easier with the existence of blockchain, of course, it will accelerate the performance of the healthcare agency

the blockchain is for a healtcare at all because it provides a decentrilized and a transparent one. blockchain technology is one of the best ledgers and good assets. the blockchain crypto ecosystem is good, then bring the rest of finance into the system. and also safe and secure with blockchain users.

Blockchain system will definitely be a good way of thinking to the next economic development equipment and it will be totally a life changing tool for each and every people who are in the middle class and I will definitely accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency will be a good way of money making in short period of time for each and every people in this world.
