Take the all occurrences of the word "blockchain" out of this text, and it would not take away anything from this article.

Sounds like the author has no idea what he is talking about, and is forcing blockchain into the article when it has no relevance.

Yeah it's not really clear what exactly is happening or what blockchain has to do with it at all.

This article https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2019/06/why-arent... about e-Estonia exposes the health record-blockchain connection but it too is thin on the details.

What exactly is happening here?

Is the information stored on blockchain just "Yes this provider can see my records?"

That doesn't strike me as something that requires blockchain, and maybe isn't even the hardest part...

Agreed, working with a group that is taking on this problem and doing very well. They get their hardware and ML onprem. Then comes distributed, differential training on encrypted EMRs.

The big key to success is creating a system radiologists want to use. Focusing on quality control before FDA. Building an ecosystem where hospitals make money be granting access to the data from the ML apps which can be uploaded through the dev portal and trained on data they would never have been able to access.
