SXSW 2020

Blockchain Platforms and the Future of Healthcare

Description:

Blockchains and platforms, alone, are interesting concepts but when merged have the potential to alter healthcare. Through the right data sharing, governance and public-private partnerships we can escape healthcare’s historical, unsuccessful, “fix via mandate” approach pivoting to a patient-centered, just, healthcare system. - Why are blockchains and platforms both necessary in healthcare.
