Patientory CEO Discusses Blockchain as a New Solution to Old Healthcare Problems

“One of the things with blockchain is it’s consortium based… so it’s really getting everyone incentivized and at the table, which doesn’t exist today. Here in the US, one of the biggest issues we have is interoperability which has been a problem for the past 15 years since the introduction of the EMR [Electronic Medical Record]. We definitely see blockchain as a starting point to really lay the groundwork and the foundation for a lot of the incentivization to happen.”
