Blockchain in Healthcare – Industry Adoption Analysis Netscribes
In the face of rising medical costs, data breaches, claims-related frauds, and counterfeit drugs, a number of organizations are betting on blockchain to bring greater transparency and cost-effectiveness to the healthcare industry. Blockchain startups, technology leaders as well as healthcare solution providers have joined forces to address age-old challenges and are creating new business models in the process. While governmental stance on the use of blockchain-enabled healthcare solutions is largely unclear in most countries, policies on health insurance, medicaid expansion, health information exchange (HIE), among others, have been favorable in this direction.
At present, a majority of market players are focused on developing blockchain solutions in segments like medical and health records, supply chain management, clinical trials, and billing and claims management. As tech companies continue to innovate healthcare-specific blockchain solutions, the industry is expected to witness significant development of decentralized patient records as a platform (dApp), which will offer ease of access and universal identities to patients.
This report takes a closer look at the uses cases, startups, pilot projects, and innovation trends to understand where the industry lies in the blockchain adoption life cycle and what changes to expect by 2028-30.

Keeping your medical device designs relevant in an era of value based and outcome driven care is not easy. In this talk, I cover the following topics:
* “Connected EHRs”, device interoperability, and “Accountable Tech” are the future of med devices
* Hardware, sensors, and software are transient businesses but data lives forever. He who owns, integrates, and uses data wins in the end.
* Data from devices is too important and specialized to be left to software vendors, managed service providers, and system integrators.
HxRefactored: Stop dreaming about fluid data interoperability and start focus...Shahid Shah
This was presented at Health 2.0's HxRefactored 2014 Conference in Brooklyn.
Background:
* Many enterprise apps are being built these days, but most are designed to work as a stand alone system similar to consumer apps
* Healthcare-specific software engineering and integration tools are going to do more harm than good (industry-neutral is better).
Key Takeaways:
* Any enterprise app which acts like a consumer app that doesn’t integrate well into hospital or ambulatory systems and workflows is doomed
* There’s nothing unique about health IT data that justifies complex, expensive, or special technology.
* There’s a lot unique about healthcare workflows that require common technologies to be adapted properly.
Building safety-critical medical device platforms and Meaningful Use EHR gate...Shahid Shah
This is an in depth technical presentation delivered at OSCon 2012 on how to define, design, and build modern safety-critical medical device platforms and Meaningful Use compliant EHR gateways. The talk starts with a quick background on comparative effective research (CER) and patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) and the kinds of data the government is looking to leverage in the future to help reduce healthcare costs and improve health outcomes. After defining why data is important, the workshop will cover the different techniques for collecting medical data – such as directly from a patient, through healthcare professionals, through labs, and finally through medical devices; the presentation will cover which kinds of data are easy to collect and what are more difficult and how technical challenges to collection can be overcome.
After covering the data collection area the workshop will dive deep into a modern medical device platform architecture which the speaker calls “The Ultimate Medical Device Connectivity Architecture” – providing an in-depth overview and answering questions around architecture, specifications, and design or modern (connected) medical devices.
Presentations of open source software and other inexpensive design techniques for implementing connected architectures will be covered. Finally, the talk will cover details about medical device gateways, what new Meaningful Use rules might require when connecting EHRs to gateways, and how to design and architect gateways that can stand the test of time and be interoperable over the long haul.

I presented this opinionated look at why the Medicare Shared Savings plans, ACOs and other outcomes-driven payment models are being promoted over fee for service (FFS) models and what that means for service providers and integrators. Evidence driven healthcare is required to help reduce costs and data drives evidence – the problem is that institutions are having trouble pulling together all the data they need. Current health IT systems integrate poorly and anyone that can improve that data integration to help with pricing transparency, cost transparency, care coordination, and population health management will have work for years.

If you’re in the medical device manufacturing or hardware sales business your revenue growth (CAGR) is under pressure like never before. You’re being asked to do more with less but you’re probably going to find that hard to accomplish because of one or more of the following challenges:
* Longer product development timelines caused by more FDA and other government regulations
* Increased demand by customers to have your devices deliver user experiences that are more like “consumer” devices such as cell phones and tablets
* Lower margins as a reaction to commodity competition (your sensor hardware business will be commoditized faster and faster over time)
* More complex and longer sales cycles because devices are now being approved for sale not by facilities and clinical executives alone but increasingly by CIOs and IT teams
* Increased cost of risk management and compliance caused by connectivity requirements
Any one of these challenges is difficult to meet but these days you’re probably being asked to meet more than one simultaneously. The solutions are not simple but the good news is that medical device manufacturers have many revenue generation opportunities today that can fund the new strategic imperatives you’ll need to put into place to meet the challenges listed above.
This briefing, presented by Netspective CEO Shahid Shah, describes some of the opportunities and how device vendors can take advantage of them.

“Healthcare data is becoming more complex, unstructured, and decentralized as it brings into its ambit a growing variety of entities and associated data,” explained Scalable CEO Sam Biswal. “This includes EMRs, hospital discharge records, clinical data, drug prescriptions, state monitoring programs, and NIH directives, plus wearable IoT and social media feeds.” To accelerate and improve the quality, reliability, and granularity of insights from this data, Scalable will integrate (or wrangle) it with the interchangeable CoSort or Hadoop engines in Voracity. “We will also use Voracity to classify, anonymize, and measure the likelihood that PHI can be re-identified,” Biswal added.
This talk outlines opportunities, disruptions and innovations in Healthcare. Devices both consumer and medical, data science, and creative destruction of medicine (Doctors 2.0) will help create value for patients, providers and payers!
CIKM2020 Keynote: Accelerating discovery science with an Internet of FAIR dat...Michel Dumontier
Biomedicine has always been a fertile and challenging domain for computational discovery science. Indeed, the existence of millions of scientific articles, thousands of databases, and hundreds of ontologies, offer exciting opportunities to reuse our collective knowledge, were we not stymied by incompatible formats, overlapping and incomplete vocabularies, unclear licensing, and heterogeneous access points. In this talk, I will discuss our work to create computational standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective representations based on semantic web technologies that are maximally FAIR - Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reuseable - and to further use these for biomedical knowledge discovery. But only with additional crucial developments will this emerging Internet of FAIR data and services enable automated scientific discovery on a global scale.

An electronic Medical record (EHR) is a of a computerized version of a patient's paper record. Our reality
has been drastically changed by advanced innovation like – PDAs, tablets, and web-empowered gadgets
have changed our day to day lives and the manner in which we impart. Medication is a data rich enterprise.
EHR incorporate the clinical and treatment chronicles of patients, an EHR framework is worked to go past
standard clinical information gathered in a supplier's office and can be a more extensive perspective on a
patient's consideration. Electronic Health Record (EHR) frameworks face issues with respect toinformation
security, honesty and the board. We could execute blockchain innovation to change the EHR frameworks
and could be an answer of these issues. The main goal of our proposed structure is to implement and
execute blockchain innovation for EHR and furthermore to give secure capacity of electronic records by
characterizing granular access rules for the clients of the proposed framework. Thus this structure furnishes
the EHR framework with the advantages of having a versatile, secure and necessary integral chain-based
arrangement

Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility...Sujoy Dasgupta
Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

APPLICATIONS - HEALTH
DLTA-H Report – Volume 1, Issue 2; 15 Oct 2018
(contact: info@sciencedistributed.com)
WELCOME
Welcome to the Distributed Ledger Tech Applications – Health or DLTA-H Report. This is the next phase of the weekly
newsletter Blockchain Healthcare SITREP that ran from Jul 2017 – Jul 2018 (archives here). This phase of the newsletter
is intended to bring you some of the same focus on news and events in blockchain (and other distributed ledger
technologies) in healthcare, science, and beyond with an emphasis on more advanced topics: ongoing projects, advanced
developments, cross-industry dialogue, barriers and solutions to implementation, in-depth theory, and an overall 201-
level look at what is happening. ~ Sean Manion, PhD - CEO Science Distributed
BLOCKCHAIN/DISTRIBUTED LEDGER TECHNOLOGY NEWS
Executive Spotlight—DirectTrust CEO Scott Stuewe explains why interoperability has lost its meaning
Newly installed DirectTrust CEO Scott Stuewe has been in the health IT industry for more than two decades, and he’s
burnt out on one particular buzzword: interoperability.
“I think the word ‘interoperability’ has stopped meaning anything at
all. A better term might be ‘automated healthcare
communications.’” - DirectTrust CEO Scott Stuewe
https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/tech/executive-spotlight-directtrust-ceo-scott-stuewe-interoperability-data-exchange
Commentary: Great interview. Scott Stuewe is very insightful. He touches on blockchain, but the above quote on
‘interoperability’ is critical. It is one of those words in health IT that gets used ubiquitously without being defined yet
means different things to different disciplines (also see surveillance, registry, and standards). It also reminds me of Maya
Vujinovic’s brilliant Velocity and Value insight (2:42:42 to 2:44:24). This is the right thinking to create overall patient and
business benefit with the tech. Scott and DirectTrust weren’t on my radar before, but they are now.
Blackberry announces healthcare applications for Spark platform, blockchain ledger
BlackBerry is looking to leverage its new Spark "enterprise of things" platform to improve patient care with
partnerships and customer-driven projects.
https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/blackberry-announces-healthcare-applications-for-spark-platform-
blockchain/538917/
Commentary: Too early to tell how this will shape out, but it is interesting when more established companies throw
their hat in this blockchain and healthcare ring. And while some may scoff at the relevance of Blackberry based on market
share, remember the huge number of Feds that are walking around with this contracted technology. Defense Health
Agency (DHA) has a huge patient and provider population already equipped for a pilot.
Dubai to use Blockchain for licensing health staff
The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and Dubai Healthcare City Authority - Regulatory signed an agreement during the
ongoing Gitex Technology Week 2018 to link the licensing data of health professionals using Blockchain.
http://tradearabia.com/news/HEAL_346406.html
Commentary: This is a great step forward by the Dubai DHA. The U.S. DHA (Defense Health Agency) could learn from
our international partners here. Army’s MRMC JPC-1, TATRC, and Ft. Gordon staff are already looking into it. On the
industry side, Hashed Health has worked out the bugs with its operational product ProCredEx. Don’t wait.
2. The Art, Science, and Technology of Making Better Beer
In an experiment that stretches from farm to frosty glass, a small brewery in Belmont, California, has added blockchain
and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to its production process.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/oracle/2018/10/11/the-art-science-and-technology-of-making-better-beer/#f917986299a6
Commentary: Interesting story and nice use case, but how is this health related (+/- of beer aside)? The use of
blockchain for supply chain data is a template for the much slower supply chain of health research data. I’ll be exploring
more of this “Farm to Table/Bench to Bedside” frame at AU’s Kogod Blockchain Forum (07 Nov, see Events) and beyond.
HIMSS Analytics: The state of blockchain, cloud, EHR adoption & more
The plurality of hospitals (45.3 percent) are still learning about blockchain and have not deployed any related
programs. However, 55 percent said it is "somewhat likely" they complete a blockchain proof-of-concept or pilot in the
next 24 months, followed by 17 percent of whom said it was "very likely."
https://www.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-information-technology/himss-analytics-the-state-of-blockchain-
cloud-ehr-adoption-more.html
Commentary: The lede above says it all. Lots of interest from hospitals. The challenge is the implementation and
determining what areas to pilot. This tech doesn’t come off-the-shelf in a ready-made way for healthcare as it may for
other industries. It is more people, workflow, data governance, and change management than tech alone. There is value to
be gained in internal application, but the huge (10-100X) value may come from cross-industry consortium application.
If your CIO/IT staff hasn’t given you executive awareness training and pilot proposals yet, they are probably not going to
be the innovation drivers on this. Guides are available, though quality can vary by use case. Find someone that knows your
industry and is willing to learn your particular requirements. Maybe the right tool has already been designed, maybe the
right platform is there to shape, but your personnel, workflow, and organizational flexibility matter.
Science Distributed may be available (we are busy and selective), but we can also put you in touch with the right people
through our Blockchain in Healthcare Global (BiHG) IEEE ISTO network. Get in touch (info@sciencedistributed.com).
