DNA abbreviations for Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a thread like chain of nucleotides which carries the genetic information of all living organisms. It contains of four basic building blocks which are adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
The technology of DNA is developing at an increasing rate every year and the recent invention is Storing Medical Data and that to very securely through Blockchain Technology.
In 2016 we have seen everyones interests and investment targeted at blockchain for the financial services industry. Blockchain helps in keeping cryptocurrency transactions secure and as the year passed by the same interests carrying blockchain beyond the boundaries of financial services to drive forward into many other industries. Blockchain has found itself a very useful in many industries and out of these the most promising name is Blockchain in Healthcare.
CURRENTLY THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH HEALTHCARE DATA :
The current way to store medical data is acceptable yet it has many issues which need to be addressed to everyone. The current system is useless and a slow procedure and allows too many roadblocks in the way of storing Patients data, Patient data is spread all around the healthcare system as there is no single system which helps in storing all the important information about patients. This leads in the loss of Patients data or having difficulties in collecting the information in the time of need. Because of all these scenario Blockchain enters in Healthcare to stores Patients data securely.
HOW BLOCKCHAIN HELPS IN STORING MEDICAL DATA SECURELY :
In Blockchain the Patients information is not placed on a single centralized server it is spread throughout the network. So in this case non authorized person cannot see the encrypted data as unauthorized transactions are impossible in Blockchain technology. In Blockchain only Patients, Doctors or their Hospitals have the full access to gain the data informations as there is no 3rd parties involved. Earlier this technology was not introduced so the data of the Patients can be hacked or stolen easily and especially DNA become a real concern for every health authorities, medical institutions and Practitioners around the globe. But now due to advanced technology its very difficult to access the data of any Patients even about the DNA details.
THANKS TO BLOCKCHAIN FOR PROVIDING ADVANCED AND SECURE TECHNOLOGY IN EVERY FIELD THESE DAYS.
What do you all think regarding this changes in our Healthcare ? Will this benefits us ?
