Abstract

Blockchain technology is transforming the healthcare sector in light of data management and patient experience. It can be used in building a more secure data management platform that allows patients to retain ownership over their medical records. Permitted healthcare practitioners can also monitor patients' medical histories, view their most recent prescriptions, and provide prognoses with excellent patient experience. Ultimately, healthcare policymakers responsible for the regulation of innovation should create a favourable environment that will spur the building of blockchain digital solutions with the propensity of providing a single protocol of trust among healthcare stakeholders. This will standardise the implementation of blockchain in the global healthcare space. Green-oriented organisations should also join the conversation on how blockchains are designed, especially ensuring that blockchain is built with sustainability principles.
