Blockchain and medicine.

Blockchain, among other things, would be reasonable to use in medicine. This technology could easily solve 2 problems that today seem like a throwback:

1. Safety of the patient’s medical history. Were you in the clinic? Each patient has several outpatient cards, the results of examinations. All this is stored in different places and can easily get lost.

The blockchain would store all the information in one place, and it could not be lost, forged or deleted.

At the same time, through the encryption keys, the technology would make available information about diseases only for the doctor and the patient.

Comfortable? Conveniently.

The benefits are obvious for the traveler who suddenly fell ill, away from home. Having applied to a hospital abroad, he will simply give the doctor access to his medical history. The doctor will click in the interface of your native language, read the medical history and help the person.

Technology 100% would have saved a single life. And made it easier for millions of doctors around the world.

2. Data on the supply of medicines to pharmacies.

This is especially true for expensive drugs. There is no confidence that the purchased drug is not a fake.

The system is the blockchain would have fixed the entire path drugs from factory and to showcase to the pharmacy. Legality would be determined by a bar code.

And every patient would be able to get complete information about where exactly the medicine he needed is sold.

…..

However, there are a number of difficulties in both cases. The main thing is a huge amount of data that will need to be entered into the electronic system, but with this we are already helping to cope with the development of artificial intelligence. 21 in the yard.
