How Blockchain Helps in Healthcare Industry?

Specially devised for digital currency such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. the Blockchain has expanded through a lot of business industries including, banking, finance, logistics management, healthcare, to name a few. We have discussed its opportunities and usability in financial sectors and borrow bitcoin and other digital currency transactions. However, there are other sectors as well such as Healthcare which has a huge potential for Blockchain technology. Blockchain contains some unmatched properties such as robust security, speedy business process, flawless services, etc. 

In this article, we will take you through the all potential uses of Blockchain in Healthcare industry. We have asserted how the industry can get benefits of cutting-edge technology -Blockchain and how it will help people, patients, doctors and other health departments. 

Blockchain & Healthcare:

• Blockchain can transform the Healthcare industry. In fact, there have been many instances when patients' privacy and medical documents have been invaded through. Even today, the privacy of patients and documents are vulnerable to hack. 
• If you keep the privacy and document aside the process to keep things such processes like payments, medical records, etc. in order and safe, a system -not just a system, rather a robust system required to protect them. 
• The medical ledger that contains sensitive information regarding patients and hospitals can be proofly protected through Blockchain. 

Medical Records:

• Keeping medical records such patients information is not so effective in the medical industry so far. More than that, the problem begins with a centralized system that keeps the data on the stack and anyone can steal the information one require.
• There may be patients who don't want to share their information with others; there may be medical data that needs protection has that needs to be in the right hand, but still, they are vulnerable.  Blockchain has the solutions. 
• Yes, one of the biggest benefits of Blockchain is that it keeps data in a decentralized manner. Only the authorised person can check data. More than that, when a record is a sign, it has to write in the Blockchain. It will give the seen as proof and confidence. Let's glance through how Blockchain keeps things organised.

Distributed Network:

• It works through decentralized P2P architecture that enables each member to perform the task independently with all freedom.
• They are fully authorized to validate the transaction -digital transaction. Distributed network one hand gives independent to each participant to carry out breakthrough tasks at the same time. 

Shared Ledger:

• If you have experience working with online banking ledger, then you may be aware that you can perform only one task at a time. 
• Members can record digital transaction into a shared ledger at the same time. Once the transactions are proposed and approved by a majority of members, it will be added to the shared ledger automatically. 

Digital Transaction:

• Digital transaction that includes digital assets or information will be stored into a 'block'. That transaction is encrypted through the cryptographic hash and ensures ultimate protection.
• Supply Chain Management
• Blockchain can be a great help for the medical supply chain by keeping all supply-demand cycle smooth and functional. It keeps constant eyes on how transaction taking place or if there is any issue with the transaction. More than that, if it finds any loopholes, it can inform you at the earliest. 

What More of Blockchain in Healthcare

When it comes to usability of Blockchain in healthcare, the sky is the limit. Yes, that is true. In the coming days, you are going to find many potential possibilities of Blockchain in every sector of healthcare and medical service industry.
