Blockchain Technology in Healthcare Market Analysis and Forecast Report 2023

NEW YORK - Nov. 11, 2019 - PRLog -- As technology and internet services are becoming accessible to virtually all individuals across the globe, so is our data that is floating out there in the interconnected web to be accessed by numerous hackers and cyber attackers. With everything becoming online these days, from financial transactions to personal information, on different databases, the incidence of data breaches and thefts has risen tremendously. This has impelled governments to take stringent measures to curtail such breaches of security and data. For instance, the European Union came up with a new data protection rule in May 2018, the "General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)", which aims to protect European citizens from data and privacy breaches. The advantages offered by the blockchain technology, such as security and trust and data integrity, have stimulated many companies, including those in the healthcare sector that store extensive information regarding patients' healthcare and private data, to invest more in data security and protection.

A study conducted by P&S intelligence reported that in the coming future, the blockchain in healthcare market (https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/blockcha...) would generate a revenue of $890.5 million at a 67.1% CAGR compared to the $44.6 million it amassed in 2017. Blockchain is an encrypted list of records known as blocks. Each block contains features from the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. The data is generally stored in a network of computers and not in one single device. The technology is being used in multiple areas, such as cryptocurrencies, video games, financial services, and smart contracts. This technology is being deployed in healthcare to store the large amounts of clinical data generated by various hospitals and organizations.

The inclusion of the technology in safeguarding healthcare-related data and consolidation of all the information generated by different healthcare platforms has brought its potential in the limelight. Many public and private organizations are increasingly investing in blockchain technology for the healthcare sector. For instance, Health2047, an American Medical Association-funded company, invested $10.0 million in a blockchain health startup, named Akiri Inc., in January 2018. This was done to promote the development of a healthcare data platform based on this technology. Another initiative in this direction is the backing of the European Union to a project, MHMD, which visions to use blockchain for storing and transmitting medical data in a safer and efficient manner.
