Highlights from Advancing the Business of Health with Blockchain and Frontier Tech at ConV2X Symposium 2023
Many people in the healthcare industry mistake the turbulent cryptocurrency market for a technology that offers significant benefits to healthcare administration, including improved interoperability, revenue recapture, and enhanced security and patient safety. Recently, these subjects were explored during the ConVerge2Xceler-ate (ConV2X) 2023 Symposium held at Loyola University in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Who benefits most from this discussion — service providers, those seeking to transform outdated business mod-els, or both? The mention of blockchain technology often discourages conversation, causing those who have sound success solutions to approach the topic from alternate perspectives. In the Blockchain in Healthcare Platform Approaches Special Issue, Volume 7, Issue 1, 2024, we share valuable insights based on specific use cases to provide healthcare executives with a nuanced understanding. Several open-access recordings are available, providing a glimpse into the wealth of knowledge and insights shared to advance the business of health with blockchain technology. Recognizing the need for a paradigm shift, we explore topical subjects and cases with various thought leaders in the field.
The Maryville Experience BurstIQ CEO Frank Ricotta and President Brian Jackson (ConV2X Platinum Sponsors) discussed market forces, collaborations with higher education institutions, and their partnership with Maryville University to establish a transparent, reliable data ecosystem that incorporates data, artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, and analytics.Upon closer examination, Maryville University’s innova-tive approach offers a revolutionary model that dismantles silos in higher education and aligns with Gartner’s view1 on transitioning data-enabled businesses to where information technology (IT) plays a supportive rather than a controlling role. In this context, blockchain emerges as a crucial cat-alyst for establishing reliable data objects and promoting transparent communication in scientific research.
