But Do you think crypto and blockchain can give the Healthcare system solutions in any way? ~ One topic that I think can be crucial is having your Med history on blockchain and letting them be accessible in any place so you don't have to be in a specific place to get the proper one (this is an issue in my place I don't know in yours)(Galeon, in the other hand, thought of this issue)

No, crypto won't give any utilization to the healthcare system at all. As for the usage you mentioned a well-thought and well-designed system should suffice to cover that kind of problem, especially the availability. Even if blockchain is somehow can be utilized, it doesn't have to incorporate crypto, they just need to simply design the blockchain with much centralization. Although, I doubt that even "blockchain" is required for this kind of problem.

One thing is for sure, any crypto that claims to offer a solution to a medical/health problem is very likely worthless.

People may do very well to remember that not everything requires decentralization to be solved, bitcoin is in fact necessary since the centralization of money creation, loans and the institutions to safeguard it have created a group of institutions which abuse their power to the detriment of anyone that is not part of that select group, but I fail to see how healthcare would need the blockchain to solve some of its problems as this can be achieved way more easily using a centralized solution.

I worked in the healthcare industry, and the only application blockchain can see itself in this line of industry is through patient information system and database management. Apart from that, the healthcare industry doesn't need. No tokenization of big pharma, no cryptocurrencies dedicated to it, just plain integration of the blockchain tech in the underbelly of data management of the whole industry. When big pharma and other such entities have their own tokens, they are not there to help cure diseases and serve the public; they're there to make money. They are already making enough profit for themselves, so perhaps all they need to do is really improve what they deliver and that's it.

You have a point on this, however, I don't understand why projects relating to healthcare industry seemed not to be successful.
If you are long enough in this forum, I am certain, you have encounter several projects tackling the problems of healthcare industry
in terms of date management. However, I don't know where they are now also. But the concept is great because it will benefit the
healthcare industry. They can easily deduce some conclusions from the give database, though we know processing such data is a tedious one.
I believe it is lack of funds that made some of these good projects to be abandoned but they surely gave a great idea on how it
can possibly assist the healthcare industry . Maybe, we need a big company to really fund such endeavor and be consistent with it.

Hi, guys I want to discuss and know opinions about this topic that can be a good one because I don't see too many projects with these subjects. Healthcare is an issue around the world, for being too expensive or for not having proper architecture and care. But today I was surfing on some CEX and DEFI and I found on Mexc the $VITA (That is not a new project) and I kind of surprised by how low exposure this project (and others like these have). Only introduction, Vita is a project that develops and researches solutions produced by longevity and it has a lot of strong supporters and investors.

The last year I encounter Galeon which was mainstream for a little bit (also another project that I think has a lot of future) and others like Aimedis as a competitor

But Do you think crypto and blockchain can give the Healthcare system solutions in any way? Do you know some good projects or the ones I mentioned?

Yes, that could be one use case for blockchain in the medical industry, but as other have pointed out, majority of the projects are not successful because it's all about money and it's not how it can improved some sector or industry (sad to say).

I just quickly look at some projects in cmc, you can do that as well and if it for yourself. I still vividly remember that there was one a good project with this kind of use case in 2017, but the project has been abandoned.

There are certain industries that doesn't need changes at all and healthcare is probably one of them. Maybe some bigger organization can integrate blockchain technology for the data research and distribution but I hope none of them would create a token out of it. Adding crypto into it is just a stretch in my opinion.

Yes, and if you can read my previous comment, you will see we're I mentioned that healthcare will adopt blockchain technology and probably not tokenization, even though there chance of coin development for healthcare services.

But then blockchain for the supply chain is what fits the healthcare sector perfectly, and not diving into coin creation as that will lead to a lot of other things that will be outside healthcare sector such as finance.

Back when ICO was very popular, many health projects got into crypto and made some innovations using Blockchain as their data record. But many of those projects were lost and didn't progress. Even though projects engaged in the health sector by implementing crypto will make a good contribution regarding data recording and other issues.
and currently crypto projects like Big data will help for better record keeping. Maybe when the crypto market improves there will be new health projects that are able to survive to provide new innovations in the medical world.

If Health Records were WEB3 in that people can control their own electronic record and it be universally transferred to any healthcare institution then it is a match made in heaven. Do you realize how much Dr.'s charge to get a patient a copy of their health record? Blockchain and WEB3 would be able to accomplish Health Information Exchange for a fraction of the cost. Too bad it doesn't seem that anyone is attacking the problem as said.

Blockchain technology will not solve any healthcare issues because its something related to computer not with lives so projects created using the name of healthcare is nothing so people didn't really give any attention to it so I advice you too do the same. Understand money will not solve everything, it just a tool to bring what we needed for the problem to be solved and cryptocurrency like bitcoin is enough for that no need of new unknown ones.

There has been attempts but healthcare is not easy to fix and I am not sure how a cryptocurrency would fix the problems. Cryptocurrencies are currencies 1st and the projects they support come 2nd. Most people here want to make money the only way a cryptocurrency dev earns money is if they can convince people to invest in their project but when the cryptocurrency audience is global and healthcare is unique to each country you are not going to get many supporters the devs would have to concentrate on a certain country or demographic to make this possible.

healthcare sounds great but just like in stocks, most of the people are investing in cryptocurrencies mainly seeking for profit and these profits usually comes from coin that have quite impact against the market like smart contract coin, there are many healthcare coin in the past as many has mentioned but I even have no idea how they could be effective.
I'd say some people would be hesitant of investing in these healthcare coins even though if any of these coin ever gaining success it could be quite impactful towards many lives.

Cryptocurrencies and healthcare have been in bed since a long time, there are many tokens and coins out there

There’s already a concept but still not hitting the mainstream.
Having a blockchain that focuses more on a healthcare system might be a big help especially on recording and transparency, this can be a big project if developer offers more convenient system to the healthcare provider. This has been a discussion since then, and time will come that we can finally introduce crypto into this industry and make their services more efficient and effective.

There are some ideas which sound great on paper but when you actually try to put them into practice things simply do not work, and this is one of them, over the years I have read about several proposals to get the blockchain in the healthcare system and while it may sound interesting at the same they never work out, and it is not surprising why this is the case, the most obvious factor for this is that technology is not ready, but even if it was as you state a huge deal of money moves because of healthcare, and no one is willing to give way to more efficient systems as this will affect their pockets.

Healthcare is at the centre of blockchain development with quite a good number of successful projects being developed to incorporate the healthcare sector into the blockchain, using cryptography to solve healthcare issues such as.

Supply chain and records keeping over the ledger and other features that will help advance healthcare.

And as time goes on we will see more blockchain healthcare projects that will help increase the availability of healthcare services andmedicale supplies.

In the USA the desire for EHR systems to be a part of a Health Information Exchange was never realized. Blockchain does have answers for universal Health Information Exchanges but I do not know of anything projects that address or plan for the problems. Someone with talent may have to marry open EHR project with blockchain. hmm...

If I'm not mistaken, there are a lot of blockchain projects way back in 2017-2018 about heathcare and even pharma related sector. But not sure if those become successful up to this day or if they suddenly just died already.
-cut-

I wonder why Grin

.
No seriously anyone making blockchain for pharma or medical industry is most likely scamming people. It would require next level tech to make something like that even possible and there are like handful of coders in the world that could design such a system. Anyone can make a "solution" but for it to be useful is another case.

It would need L1 zero-knowledge proof KYC solution to start with, and mountain of other stuff with cutting edge unproven tech.
That would also need real world adoption and that's not going to happen with some generic erc20 tokens with anon team and dao.

So if you are asking if there are projects, yes, there are and yes they can give solutions to healthcare issues.

The problem is that if investors are going to continue to support this kind of projects or not.

Healthcare and crypto has been always a present subject of discussions on this environment, due to its sensitive nature and precarity in most countries of the world. As crypto is seen as possible financial solution in the lives of its adopters, instantly we tend to believe it must also bring a solution to healthcare system. However, so far I don't see any practical usages blockchain could have in order to maximize the efficiency of healthcare in our countries.

I believe what could make the difference is investment from governments or private companies on technology regards this area, so new devices and kinds of treatments could be developed and introduced in our local communities. However, I fear it's not through an ICO money raise or pump and dump token scheme that we are going to see improvements on this area.
