GBA World Series USA – Healthcare and Blockchain

This webinar is done in collaboration with GBA USA and GBA UAE. Government Blockchain Association or GBA as it is called is a technology-agnostic global association whose mission is to promote and accelerate blockchain adoption in government sectors via education, advocacy, and partnerships. We have 0ver 100 chapters around the world with headquarter in Virginia, USA. Local GBA chapters share the best use cases of their respective countries and acts as a catalyst in creating a public dialog around the creative and positive use of blockchain technology.

The healthcare industry can greatly benefit from blockchain technology. Healthcare has been slow in adopting new technologies and most of them are centralized data systems, health data regulation, and a mandate to focus on digitizing medical data in partnership with different electronic medical record (EMR) service providers. The data in healthcare is siloed that is fragmented and does not interact with one another. The interoperability is important in scenarios where health care providers want to seek information of the patients, during medical trials accessing information of the participants, companies seeking to ensure the authenticity of drugs circulating global markets.
