As the number of connected devices continues to increase, so too does the need for data security. Blockchain can help secure patient data in a number of ways, including through encryption, decentralization, access control, and more. By using blockchain, healthcare organizations can increase the security, privacy, and trustworthiness of patient data while also improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery. Blockchain also provides a transparent and immutable record of all transactions, allowing stakeholders in the medical device supply chain (such as manufacturers, distributors, and healthcare providers) to trace the entire lifecycle of a product.
