Crypto Academy Week 6 Homework Post for @gbenga - Blockchain Industry Applications

in hive-108451 •  4 years ago  (edited)

Data storage and security is one of the main issues the healthcare industry encounters, especially the misuse of them through selling the data to other companies.

Medical records can be very cumbersome if kept without proper organization and they can be altered even after records have been kept. The blockchain in the medical/health industry will improve trust between the patient and the medical practitioners where instead of the patient trusting the practitioners, they trust the contract.

  • Remark
    Your post is well organized, but for future purposes, you could make it more detailed.

  • Question
    Do you think the combination of AI and Blockchain technology would improve the health industry?

Yes, it would greatly improve it. One of the hindrances I noticed with doctor appointments is that they only have limited time with the patients they are seeing. Some of this time is wasted because of improper/disorganized data. If they could somehow make the needed data more accessible and reliable, doctors can focus more on checking the patient or asking more relevant things instead of wasting time checking if what the patient's saying is real/accurate. With better data handling of medical records, doctors can either see more patients or improve the quality of their session with their patients.

You have made a valid point. Instead of spending time checking if the record of the patient is right or wrong, with the blockchain, records can be authenticated with ease and the doctors only need to attend to the patient

Oh no, it still doesn't have a vote on it.
