Health and Blockchain: Today and Into The Future

In our research, we have passion for improving health care, and we believe we can build more trusted health care systems using cryptography and data science.

For nearly a decade we have strived to build systems which were citizen-focused, and our spin-out company — Symphonic — was built on supporting the sharing of data within health and social care in a trusted manner. With this we created new health care models where citizens actually owned their own data, and had rights to share it with others. And so now — supported by many partnerships in our Blockpass ID Lab — we aim to build more trusted systems and which respect the rights of the citizen to privacy and consent. For us cryptography will build the foundation layer of our future health care system, and where digital signing becomes a core part of our world.

But we can all look to the research horizon, and try and predict the future, but what’s the near horizon? Well, with a range of researcher from around the world, we have tried to look at the near future of healthcare and blockchain [here]:

Within it we have defined the 10 major themes for the future of blockchain in healthcare over the…
