Could blockchain reshape healthcare delivery?



Imagine patient records that can't be tampered with, drug supply chains you can actually verify end-to-end, and medical data that stays encrypted yet instantly accessible to authorized providers. That's not sci-fi anymore.

Blockchain's immutability creates a permanent audit trail for sensitive health information. Every transaction is timestamped and cryptographically verified. Counterfeit medications become detectable at every checkpoint. Hospitals can track medicine origins with complete transparency, cutting down fraudulent products in the supply pipeline.

The real shift? Patients own their data. No more fragmented records scattered across clinics. One verifiable source of truth.

Speaking of blockchain healthcare, it sounds quite enticing, but why is it so difficult to implement in reality?

It sounds ideal, but can it really be achieved? Who will cover the cost of a major overhaul of the hospital's system...

Buddy, if this can truly enable patients to control their own data, the healthcare system will have a chance to be saved.

Patient data autonomy sounds good, but the real risk is that once a smart contract vulnerability is triggered, it will directly expose medical records... No matter how perfect the collateralization ratio design is, it cannot change the fundamental hidden danger of centralized storage.
