Blockchain: Unlocking Healthcare Data to Empower Patients and Improve Care

Imagine a world where individuals have ownership of their healthcare data.

They have a complete picture of their health over time with aggregated information from different healthcare providers and wearable devices. They no longer worry about the security and integrity of their sensitive medical information. They have the power to decide exactly who can access their comprehensive healthcare data and for what purpose. They are empowered and engaged patients with trust in the healthcare system, therefore they are healthier patients. This world could become our reality with the appropriate implementation of blockchain technology.
