The impact of Blockchain Applications in the Healthcare Industry

It is obvious that, the healthcare industry is ready for a radical rethink of its traditional digital infrastructure. 

In effect, the current infrastructure does not support the security or interoperability requirements in our ever-connected digital world. 

Blockchains can provide technology solutions to these challenges: interoperability, integrity and security, and portable user-owned data. 

I can recall that, several innovative start-ups (Gem, Tierion, Factom, Guardtime, etc.) are combining blockchain technology expertise with healthcare industry experience to develop platforms and solutions.
