Abstract: This chapter focuses on the role that Blockchain in combination with AI/Big Data can play in addressing the healthcare industry’s severest pain points. The aim is to develop thought leadership on this subject to enable governments, corporates, and developers gain insight and start building out the future. The study found that blockchain in electronic healthcare can avoid adding another layer of organization between the patient and the records and addresses the four major issues such as fragmented slow access to medical data; system interoperability; patient agency; and improved data quality and quantity for medical research.
