Market Dynamics
The use of smart contracts to ensure authentic transactions between authorized individuals can drive the demand of the blockchain technology in healthcare market. Smart contracts can verify the eligibility of patients in clinical trials, process their claims and bill them accordingly. They can adhere to the latest regulations and enhance collaboration between stakeholders of said contracts. In November 2024, Tassat Group Inc. partnered with Veuu, an AI-powered healthcare fintech, for streamlining inefficiencies in claims processing.
Furthermore, government initiatives for the integration of blockchain in the healthcare sector while digitizing the existing infrastructure for better patient outcomes can bolster the market growth. The storage of digital health records like patient medical history, birth certificates, and others on the blockchain can ensure they remain immutable and secure.
Market Opportunities
United Healthcare Workflows through AI and Blockchain
The use of blockchain can lead to the robust verification of patient data and faster claim processing. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in amplifying the efforts and help the healthcare sector become organized. The use of AI and blockchain for faster diagnosis of diseases and acceleration of drug development can drive its demand in the blockchain technology in healthcare market.
For instance, the approval of a closed network blockchain can ensure that the data between authorized personnel are conducted safely. The transaction is authorized by the consensus of all members and registered as a permanent record on the blockchain.
Market Challenges
Lack of Understanding of Blockchain Technology
The lack of understanding of blockchain technology and distributed ledgers to ensure all users remain accountable for the modification and retrieval of data can be a detriment to market growth. The application and live use cases of the technology in the healthcare sector can help decision-makers overcome their hesitation and embrace blockchain.
