Blockchain has promise to overcome many of our current healthcare data and records management challenges. This includes overcoming digital health data silos, to providing users with greater control and security assurance of their health data/records, to streamlining the consent process for sharing of health data in healthcare research. But is it really stable and secure enough for our health data and medical records? Blockchain technology creates an immutable and transparent record of a transaction. Is it possible to reconcile these features with protection of personal privacy? It’s also complicated for the average user to use. Are people ready to take on this level of complexity?

Personalized medicine relies upon the application of big data analytic techniques. Can these techniques be applied to data that is decentralized and distributed over a blockchain network? This panel discussion considers active research on the application of blockchain technology to the management health data and records.  Each of the panelists is actively engaged in research to answer these questions whether our health data should be managed on a blockchain and, if so, how it should be managed.
