Blockchain technology is relevant for many industries and use cases where distributed databases are needed. The document discusses benefits of blockchain like disintermediation and lower costs, as well as challenges like energy use. Industries that could benefit include medicine, where patient records and clinical trials could use blockchain. Utilities are also exploring potential uses cases around energy distribution. Many consortia have formed to further blockchain initiatives in industries like logistics, insurance, finance, and healthcare. Next steps discussed include evaluating processes for blockchain use cases and engaging with industry consortia.

INTRO
“Blockchain could slash the cost of
transactions and reshape the
economy”
(M. Iansiti & K. Lakhani – Harvard Business Review 2017)

4. Abstract
Blockchain: Relevant for whom?4 15.09.2017
Blockchain is no longer considered a technology of the darknet any
more.
Companies are evaluating and implementing blockchain based
applications.
This session will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the
blockchain approach, potential and actual implementations, chances
for Trivadis building up blockchain solutions and environments.

5. The 5 Principles of Blockchain
Blockchain: Relevant for whom?5 15.09.2017
1. Distributed Database: Direct access for every party without any
intermediary
2. P2P Transmission: Distributet store and forward instead of
central node
3. Transparency: Information available for every party with
pseudonymity
4. Irreversibility of Records: Historical storage of information (as
chains) instead of single update records.
5. Computational Logic: Programmable transactions

Patient Perspective:
Central Patient Data Record: A dream comes trough!
Patients control: Their data – access is central & protocolled!
Result: Better & more available data = better care for the patient!
Provider Perspective:
Health Information Exchange finally solved: The collaborative nature of creating and
sharing data
Avoid competition: Healthcare organizations have all access to the same information
Potential threat alarming: Through contracts with patients and partner organizations
Better Clinical Trial Results: Data can be shared for research activities

„The parallels between blockchain and TCP/IP are clear. TCP/IP unlocked new
economic value by dramatically lowering the cost of connections. Similarly, blockchain
could dramatically reduce the cost of transactions. It has the potential to become the
system of record for all transactions.“ (Source: M. Iansiti & K. Lakhani: The Truth About
Blockchain)
