Book Description

There is a possibility that realizing the full potential benefits of interoperability would require establishing a health information exchange that is underpinned by blockchain technology. The friction and expenses that are now created by middlemen have the potential to be reduced or eliminated entirely with the implementation of solutions based on blockchain technology. There are a number of compelling use cases for blockchain technology, some of the most prominent of which include the Precision Medicine Initiative, Patient Care and Outcomes Research (PCOR), and the Nationwide Interoperability Roadmap. In addition to this, the technology that underpins blockchain presents significant problems to the medical profession in the areas of reproducibility, data sharing, issues over the privacy of individual data, and the participation of patients in clinical trials. In the sphere of the internet, Blockchain is bringing the internet closer to its ultimate goal of decentralization, which is an ambition that is very crucial for the internet. It is reasonable to predict that this will have a significant detrimental effect on the operation of the Blockchain. Both the area of medicine and the field of information technology are in store for some very exciting times in the near future. As a result of breakthroughs in genetic research and clinical research, the discipline of medicine is currently observing the implementation of an innovative approach to the avoidance of disease. Even if blockchain technology is not a surefire answer to problems with data standards or system integration, it does give the prospect of a new distributed architecture that may amplify and support the integration of health care data across a variety of applications and stakeholders. This is because blockchain technology is decentralized, meaning that it is accessible to several parties at once. It provides answers to a wide range of problems while simultaneously improving the system's levels of efficiency, decentralization, and safety. The technology that underpins blockchain represents a substantial advancement for the sector as a whole. As a result of this, a major clinical shift is required in order to successfully deploy technology for the greatest outcome that can be researched and evaluated from a socio-technical point of view. This is a requirement that has arisen as a direct consequence of the previous point.

Book Description

The healthcare business is a huge and intricate sector that includes a diverse array of organizations and people committed to the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of illnesses and diseases. It is one of the most important industries in the world. Hospitals, clinics, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms, insurance companies, research institutes, and a great many more kinds of businesses and organizations are included in this category. Challenges in the healthcare industry Rising healthcare costs: The ever-increasing expense of medical treatment is one of the key obstacles that must be overcome. There are a number of factors that contribute to the growing financial burden that is placed on people, governments, and healthcare systems. Some of these factors include enhanced medical technology, costly pharmaceuticals, an ageing population, and chronic illnesses. Access to healthcare: Access to high-quality medical treatment may be difficult to get in many parts of the world, especially for underserved groups, persons with low incomes, and people who live in rural or distant places. There are a number of reasons that might contribute to limited access, including geographical limitations, a deficiency in healthcare infrastructure, an inadequate number of healthcare professionals, and socioeconomic inequities. Fragmented healthcare systems: The fragmentation of many healthcare systems throughout the globe results in patients receiving treatment from a myriad of different providers and organisations, which often suffers from a lack of efficient coordination and communication. The fragmentation of healthcare systems may result in inefficiencies, disconnected treatment, medical mistakes, and higher expenses.

Book Description

This open access book explores ways to leverage information technology and machine learning to combat disease and promote health, especially in resource-constrained settings. It focuses on digital disease surveillance through the application of machine learning to non-traditional data sources. Developing countries are uniquely prone to large-scale emerging infectious disease outbreaks due to disruption of ecosystems, civil unrest, and poor healthcare infrastructure – and without comprehensive surveillance, delays in outbreak identification, resource deployment, and case management can be catastrophic. In combination with context-informed analytics, students will learn how non-traditional digital disease data sources – including news media, social media, Google Trends, and Google Street View – can fill critical knowledge gaps and help inform on-the-ground decision-making when formal surveillance systems are insufficient.

Book Description

"The secure storage of medical records is vital to any healthcare system. Relying solely on centralized servers increases the likelihood of sensitive information going public. Transparency and increased security of Blockchain technology make it an ideal platform for storing medical records. Patients can safely store their privacy-sensitive information by securing their data on a Blockchain using cryptography. This enables them to share their medical information with any healthcare institution with their approval. The healthcare system is currently very fragmented, but if all users were to use a secure global database, the flow of information between them would be much faster. A great advantage of a global database is that clients do not have to tell their story every time. A medical specialist, for example, can see exactly what a patient has been through and what treatments and examinations have taken place. The information is also available in real time to the healthcare professional the client has indicated to have access to his file. A new revolution is taking place that is clearly different from the third industrial revolution (Internet, communication and globalization). This fourth industrial revolution involves a fusion of technologies such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, the Internet of Things, cloud computing and Blockchain. Our healthcare society is also changing fundamentally, also under the influence of COVID-19. With this book in three chapters, we present the impact of Blockchain and digitization in healthcare with (1) a systematic literature review om implementing blockchain solutions in health care and organizational consequences, (2) Blockchain in health care and (3) transformation of elderly care and impact of digitalization"--
