Why Should Healthcare Invest in Blockchain Technology?

Since 2013, search traffic for the term “blockchain” has risen 1900%, and the global blockchain technology market is expected to grow from $210 million in 2016 to  $2.3 billion by 2021.

About 56% are likely to follow by the end of the decade.

Many start-ups, entrepreneurs, organizations, and government bodies have begun to realize the power of blockchain technology – including the healthcare industry.

To discuss the presence of blockchain in the healthcare industry, Emily McDaid, a writer at TechWatch, spoke to Andrew Cuthbert, the founder, and CEO of Clinisent, a healthcare startup in Ireland.

This startup, one of the few to focus on blockchain in health, has raised more than £1.65 million in the last 18 months.

For example, some locations around the world attract "medical tourists," who travel abroad for procedures like hip replacements or plastic surgeries.
