Sharing & Withholding Medical Information at the Point of Care

in privacy •  7 years ago 

I read that there is $850B in waste estimated in healthcare. How can blockchain help reduce this waste?

Of course this waste ends up conveniently in the pockets service providers who have little incentive to change.

Can you talk about the current state of security in health data?
What is the impact of having poor privacy of our health data? I'm concerned if people are numb to the need for privacy and how we can be informed on its impact if we don't do something about it now.

The study I led measured the of relationship between security, privacy and consumer data sharing preference. Privacy had a weak relationship on the data sharing preference. Security had a strong, statistically significant relationship - this is because consumers perceive safe, secure data to be private. Blockchain can help because it has audit functions that are more granular than those available in conventional data security features available today in healthcare technology.
