SUMMARY:LifeSciences BC and JLABS: The Future of Blockchain in Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever needed to go to a walk-in clinic or emergency room\, and been frustrated when you need to run through your entire medical history with the doctor because they don’t have access to your files? With blockchain\, this is going to and has already started to change. \nBlockchain technology has the potential to transform healthcare by placing the patient at the center of the healthcare ecosystem. It has the ability to create a secure\, private\, global database that will lead to better patient care and stable\, protected personal medical information. Blockchain has the ability to shift precision medicine from a trial concept to common practice. \nOn Thursday\, February 28\, 2019\, JLABS and LifeSciences BC invited attendees to learn more about blockchain’s role in the healthcare sector\, and how it will (or will not) improve and change the patient experience. Through our presentation and panel discussion\, attendees saw real-world examples of use cases\, applications\, and heard a real discussion on if blockchain will really do everything we think. \nKeynote Speaker: \n\nKate Merton\, Head\, JLABS @ NYC\, Boston & JPOD @ Philadelphia\n\nOther Speakers included: \n\nDavid Houlding\, Principal Healthcare Lead\nMicrosoft\nVictoria Lemieux\, Associate Professor\nUniversity of British Columbia\nAndy Park\, Co-Founder\nCoral Health\n\nThe Future of Blockchain in Healthcare
