Blockchain and Healthcare
Healthcare can significantly benefit from the implementation of Ethereum dapps (decentralized applications) and smart contracts in several ways. Here are some key areas where these technologies can make a substantial impact:
Data Management
Decentralized Storage: Ethereum dapps can store patient records in a decentralized manner, ensuring data integrity and security. Patients can have control over their data, deciding who gets access and when.
Interoperability: Smart contracts can facilitate interoperability between different healthcare providers, allowing seamless and secure sharing of patient data across different systems.
Insurance, Billing, Trials
Automated Claims Processing: Smart contracts streamline claims processing, reducing costs and errors.
Transparent Billing: Blockchain can provide transparent and immutable records of all transactions, ensuring transparency and trust between patients, providers, and insurers.
Clinical Trials: Smart contracts can manage consent and track patient participation in clinical trials, ensuring data integrity and compliance with regulatory standards.
