Data Trustees in Distributed Data Networks

Distributed ledger technology is improving healthcare, especially how we handle patient information. It offers a new way to manage electronic health records (EHRs), the digital versions of our medical histories. This new approach uses blockchain technology to keep our information safe. It gives us more control over who can see it.

This is important for a few reasons. First, it keeps our information private and secure, making it harder for anyone to steal or misuse it. Second, it allows us to easily share our medical records with doctors and hospitals, no matter where we receive care. This means doctors can make better decisions about our health because they have a complete picture of our medical history.

Moreover, Web3 can help researchers find new ways to treat diseases. By providing researchers with access to lots of anonymous patient data, they can analyze information from many people to find patterns and discover new treatments.

Web3 has the potential to change healthcare for the better. By keeping our information safe, making it easier to share with doctors, and helping researchers find new treatments, Web3 can make healthcare more efficient, transparent, and focused on the patient.
