The blockchain revolution in healthcare

Large health facilities and organizations have already included blockchain technology into their own services. According to IBM data, 90% of the healthcare companies interviewed plan to launch a pilot blockchain project by 2018.
Rena Christina Tabata on Forbes explains that blockchain in healthcare can be adopted in the internet of medical things (IoMT), allowing smartwatches and smartphones to upload clinical information directly to the medical record.
Thanks to the technology, it will be possible encrypt data transmitted over email, preserve personal health history and verify the identity of users.
This topic will be discuss in the event called “Blockchain in Healthcare: security, transparency and data democracy” at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, dedicated to leading experts in the field for a debate on the possible solutions of this technology to the problems of the national health services all over the world: management of patient data, drug counterfeiting, data traceability in the research field.
