## <center>Introduction</center>
The blockchain technology has became much large technology in today's world the blockchain technology always give new facilities and advances to the world. Blockchain technology has achieved many important events around the world and it is showing the potential that it is seeming, that I will not stop in future but increase more to surprise us more.

As, blockchain is advanced much, I will now discuss about some of the potential applications of Blockchain which are available in the healthcare industry and the challenges that are facing the industry.

#### <center>**ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS**:</center>

The focus should be attributed to the management of health data in order to transform healthcare and this could be improved from the potential for connecting heterogeneous systems and increasing accuracy of EHR (Electronic Health Records). The Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) and EHRs are used interchangeably. There is Difference between EHR and EMR. 

EMRs is a digital version of the papers chart in clinician. It contains the treatment and medical history of the patients in one practice. On the other hand, EHR focus on the total health of patient. Due to obsolete documentation process which is seen in numerous paper work cost of handling documents, preservation of data manually, the process of handling has been cumbersome with incessant loss of data many handling factors. The accessibility of these types of medical advancements is a reoccurring issue which is used to promote reporting and onward clinical researches.





#### <center>**HEALTH INSURANCE CLAIMS:**</center>

One of healthcare fields that can benefit from blockchain’s immutability, transparency and auditability of data stored on it are the Health Insurance claims. At the time of Healthcare insurance claim, processing is an important area where there is potentials in blockchain. However, prototypes implementations of such type of systems are very limited. We can find MIStore, a blockchain based medical insurance system which provides medical insurance industry with immutably stored and encrypted medical insurance data.

#### <center>**INSURANCE SMART CONTRACS AND SUPPLY CHAIN SETTLEMENTS**</center>

Blockchain based systems are provided by the companies like Chronicled and Curisium where various players in the Health sector such as Medical device OEMs and Healthcare providers can authenticate the identity of themselves as organizations, track transaction of goods and services and payment settlement details for those goods. 

By having the digital contracts shared between distributers, manufacturers and healthcare organisations logged on a blockchain ledger, each player can significantly reduce disputes over payment chargeback claims for medicines and other type of goods. Similarly, the shared smart contracts can be use to manage the medical insurance contracts for patients. 

#### <center>**PANDEMIC TRACKER AND GENOMICS PROTECTION**</center>

The real-time tracking of outbreaks/pandemics can get help by enhanced smart contracts which are built on the blockchain protocol. Information sources which involve the identity of an individual are remain private whereas the other details which involve the patterns and other important parameters are disclosed for authenticity of the records. Also, there is a high rate of theft because of the proliferation of DNA which is sequencing from different companies. So, the use of blockchain marketplace as a meeting point of the scientists and the sellers can take away the pressure which is caused by different factors in this system.

### <center>**IOT SECURITY**</center>

<sup>[Source](https://stlpartners.com/digital_health/5-blockchain-healthcare-use-cases/)</sup>
The adoption of remote monitoring solutions is one of the biggest trend in the digital health where the vital signs of all kinds of sensors measuring patients are being used to give help to healthcare practitioners more visibility to health of patients which enables more proactive and preventative care. However, security is a major issue in health IoT, both in terms of ensuring that data of patient is private and secured and is not tampered with to create false information.

**Industry**: Electronic Health Record
Medicalchain is a healthcare industry which is situated in London, England. The Medicalchain's blockchain maintains integrity of health records at the time of establishing a single point of truth. 

Medicalchain has the application which is that the blockchain based platform of Medicalchain maintains a record of origin and it protects the identity of patient. Doctors, laboratories and hospitals can all request information of patients which has a  record of origin and protects the identity of patients from outside source. 

In the year 2018, Medicalchain has announced the release of MyClinic.com which is a telemedicine platform. MyClinic has enabled the facility because of which patients can consult with the doctors by means of video conferencing and can pay for those consultations with Medtokens.

#### <center>**HECOD - MAINTAIN HEALTH RECORDS**:</center>

In today's world, the health records are maintained using pen papers.  The reports are very hard to handle as there are many documents. What If these records are combined in a blockchain? By this, users can access these blocks from anywhere in the world and it become easy to maintain records.

To maintain and organize health record of every citizen, the personal health record management company HECOD was founded in 2019 by Anand Mishra and Vamshi Bodla with Anshul Jain. It is located in Delhi, India and is invested by Supreme Incubator. This company organise the health record of every citizen easily share those data with other providers when any person visits for treatment. 

The plaform is highly secured by the blockchain technology. The electronic health record system and consumer health application is also provided by this company for ease of people. This also helps doctors to access modern technologies and online prescriptions along with blockchain technology.

____

* The transactions done by means of blockchain technology are very transparent and so there is sometimes the issue related to data privacy comes into existence. Thus there is a need to providers to ensure that the health information of the patients is safe and secured.

* It is important that the patients can assess their medical records easily they can present them to any medical expert. As It is difficult to share the reports among physicians in different places due to the storing of records in centralised IT systems. This can be solved by making the sharing of records interoperable by the use of permissioned healthcare blockchains.

* The data in the blockchain cannot be changed or deleted and so we should not insert those information in the blockchain which need to be changed or deleted especially the big sized files which may be adjusted.

## CONCLUSION
_____

The blockchain technology has improved a lot in the sector of healthcare. There are many of the benefits which makes the life of patients easy with the help of blockchain technology. But some of limitations are there which has to be solved such as security issues to make the system safe and protected.

The lecture of professor @yohan2on has proved very beneficial and informative for me. I got much knowlegde about applications of Blockchain in healthcare industry and I took much interest in doing the post. Thanks to professor @yohan2on for such an insightful lecture.
