Blockchain in Healthcare

Patients can access their medical information by accessing multiple provider portals. These portals are owned by the providers or health facility. How can an individual control their own health information?
These days the complexity of the cases have increased. One of four adults has two or more chronic health conditions. An individual doctor can’t treat it. When the complexity was not this bad, it was possible. The life expectancy has increased. An average human being has about 9 specialists during the course of their life.
How could a blockchain based technology solve all the access issues in healthcare? Can patients avoid the middleman and enable themselves as the owners of their care? Using the blockchain based decentralized immutable record management system can definitely give patients access to their medical information across providers, health facilities and manage their own health information. The “miners” access the patient data while securing the network via Proof of Work.
