According to Cointelegraph, researchers from Emporia State University in the United States (US) and University of Allahabad in India, developed a blockchain system for medical device monitoring.
Sources revealed that HNMBlock, the new system, has the potential to revolutionise the medical industry with benefits ranging from “enabling swift responses to disease outbreaks” to “encouraging patient involvement and data-informed decision-making.”
“The integration of blockchain technology (HNMblock model) with medical devices for medical systems security coupled the strategic application and emerges as a powerful paradigm. This model serves as a guide for medical partners offering blockchain nodes as the backbone framework to navigate healthcare cybersecurity,” Cointelegraph explained.
This model is expected to include token-based patient participation incentives, decentralised, encrypted file security, and real-time device monitoring, concluded Cointelegraph.
