The emergence of blockchain technology has made the original personnel database and health transaction information obsolete. The overall security of data can be improved through blockchain technology, which greatly saves explicit and implicit costs. If this new way of keeping records becomes a reality, then tragedies like the one that occurred in 2016 with poor quality childhood vaccines will not happen. At present, it seems that the application of blockchain technology in the medical field can be well represented in so many aspects: electronic health cases, DNA wallets, drug anti-counterfeiting and protein folding. E-health cases, DNA wallets, drug anti-counterfeiting and protein folding.
Electronic Health Cases
In reality, when we visit different hospitals, the cases used by different hospitals are different, and the cases are not the same from one to another, in which case, if the patient can't take the initiative to provide, or forgets to provide, past past cases in other hospitals, the hospitals have no In this case, if the patient does not provide or forgets to provide past cases in other hospitals, the hospital will not be able to obtain them, which, to a certain extent, hinders the normal progress of the doctor's treatment. Once blockchain technology is used, each of our medical data will be stored in an electronic medical record that belongs to us.
DNA Wallet
Genetic and medical data with can be well stored securely through blockchain technology and accessed through private keys. This creates a DNA wallet where the pharmaceutical industry can automatically access relevant data across the web based on the level of authorization when conducting drug development. This change will be of great value to drug development.
Pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting
The application of blockchain technology in the field of pharmaceutical anti-counterfeiting is very similar to that of the previously mentioned Identity People in the mode of utilizing the blockchain's traceable features, giving pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products a unique corresponding code, making counterfeiters have nothing to hide and no way to drill a hole. The only end of speculators producing and manufacturing fake drugs can only be to find no such data. In this way, even if the fake drugs are manufactured. It will also face the situation of not being accepted by the market.
Protein folding
Protein folding process simulation is quite time-consuming and laborious, before the world-famous Stanford University relies on very expensive supercomputers to simulate the whole process of protein folding, but the same way the shortcomings of this approach is also very obvious: spend a lot of money and there is a single point of failure.
Blockchain technology, on the other hand, makes it possible to create a distributed network to assist in protein folding. Each node in a network of nodes can call on the computing power of the entire network when it performs calculations, and when 10,000 computers across the network can reasonably calculate a single piece of data, there is no need for researchers to buy expensive superhosts.
