having a background in medical, i think that something like secure decentralized medical records is a good idea as one of the problems in healthcare is letting practitioners access records as right now there are so many proprietary storage systems that practitioners cannot get the info they need as its on a system they do not have access to. even then sometimes formats are not compatible with a practices existing software so examining it can be time consuming and problematic.
but if this takes off the storage requirements could grow to staggeringly huge numbers as imaging (mri pet ct etc) in particular gets more complex (ie file sizes grow). so forgive me if this has been answered but is this actually realistic? how much storage can this scale to? not the blockchain that stores the hashes but the storage of the actual patient data.

The actual volume of storage is not a limitation. Storage is cheap and it's only getting cheaper.
A healcare project blockchain ? Amazing
