More and more healthcare institutions are using blockchain to provide reliable automation and up-to-date security measures.
Hospitals are prime targets for cybercriminals, as they hold a wealth of sensitive information. Even big names in the sector, such as UCLA Health, have been hit by security incidents, with 4.5 million patient records compromised.
Against this backdrop, ensuring the secure sharing of patient data between healthcare providers is essential to maintaining standards of care. Smart contracts allow patient data to be stored securely on a blockchain, which can only be accessed with the patient’s private key. In this way, patients can ensure that their medical providers always have access to the information they need, and that this information is secure.
