Book Abstract

eHealth has revolutionized health care and the practice of medicine.Internet technologies have given the most rural communities access to healthcare services, and automated computer algorithms are improving medical diagnoses and speeding up the delivery of care. Handheld apps,wearable devices, and artificial intelligence lead the way, creating a global healthcare solution that is smarter and more accessible. Read what leaders in the field are doing to advance the use of electronic technology to improve global health. A primary leader in smart medicine is the use of wearable technology. These electronic devices enable the collection of important medical data. Combining wearable devices such as heart rate monitors, pulse oximeters, and sleep monitors with blockchain technology allows this important patient information to be recorded accurately, remain immutable over time, and interact with algorithms designed to improve medical diagnosis and treatment. Wearable technology is already well developed. Making this technology interoperable with electronic medical records in a manner allowing smart execution of health care protocols becomes possible with the use of blockchain technology. Satoshi Nakamoto set forth the initial implementation of blockchain technology in the white paper
