With the Internet of Things and applications such as wearable personal health trackers, we are becoming more the center of our active care management. The issues of privacy and security are foundational to the safety of our healthcare data.

What is the possible function of blockchain, in our healthcare industry given the numerous players such as insurance, physicians, pharmaceuticals, researchers and above all the patient where transactions such as medical care records; drug trial results may be transacted immutably on a public ledger or perhaps a ledger that is hybrid, public-private? The speaker will articulate blockchain use cases that may be considered for application in the healthcare industry.

There is work in progress in this space of healthcare and blockchain, however, what must be pivotal in the discussion is that the patient remain the center of this dynamically changing universe. Education will be critical and an opportunity for this industry!

The key takeaways from this webinar are:
1.Assess Blockchain and its application in the healthcare industry;
2.Understand the polarity between regulation-privacy-security and transparency;
3.Call to action re: Education for all players especially the patient

The Internet of Things allows us to capture data from an ever-expanding ecosystem of connected devices. This data adds value to business and streamlines consumer experience. Its expansion and adoption has been constrained by two things - the speed and availability of data connectivity, and technical limitations on participation and the security of the captured data. The Internet of Things can start to realise its true potential through advances in connectivity (notably the roll-out of 5G networks) and the explosion of development in blockchain technology.

The key takeaways from this webinar are to:
- Understand the evolution of blockchain development from Bitcoin to business applications;
- Examine the specific advantages of combining blockchain and IoT technologies;
- Decide when you might use a blockchain in your business.
