Though at an early stage, blockchain adoption in the healthcare sector is expected to reach above $5.5 billion by 2026 . Blockchain technology in hospital management solutions is used to create high-integrity patient medical records that can be accessed via any medical facility connected to a secure network. Records are updated every time a patient visits their doctor and the changes are reflected in real-time. This helps physicians quickly get familiar with a patient's medical history. This technology can also be used to process insurance claims and detect fraud (e.g., submitting false claims repeatedly at different facilities).
- Better patient care with integrated IoT devices: IoT device adoption is on the rise in the healthcare sector: More and more sensory devices are used for continuous monitoring of body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, etc. This saves time for staff who previously had to manually capture these inputs. Research from Aruba Networks states that 60% of healthcare organizations globally have introduced IoT devices into their facilities, and that number is expected to reach up to 87% in 2019 .
