Blockchain in Healthcare Today | Call for Papers
Special Theme Issue — Using Data and Analytics to Enhance Medical Science and Medical Technologies
Overview
Building robust research repositories must be amassed for health policy leaders, regulators, economists, corporations and clinicians to gauge what the potential and real world impact is for data science, data security, and cybersecurity in relation to medical science and medical technologies. This includes blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.
Why is public media negative? Is this justified when there is ample investor and corporate excitement? Why is it meaningful to embrace new cutting edge ideas such as ChatGPT? Is this being oversold, is it safe, and what are the downsides? Finally, can consumers trust regulators?
The simple fact is, following ethically adroit research findings can provide the answers.
Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY) is creating a special issue collection of original research, reviews, technical reports, pilot studies, and clinical or marketing research results to demonstrate inroads and innovations in this run away field.
Multidisciplinary experts are invited including scholars, graduate students, post docs, researchers, consultants, business, health systems, not-for-profit, and health professionals, to develop and submit research that instills collaborative discussion to explore how results and findings are related and in what new ways.
