Healthcare runs on information but today, that information is often fragmented, insecure, and hard to trust. Patient records sit in silos, data breaches are rising, and healthcare providers struggle to share information without compromising privacy or compliance.
At the same time, patients want more control over their data, regulators demand stronger safeguards, and healthcare systems are under pressure to digitize fast.
This course demystifies blockchain in healthcare without drowning you in technical jargon. You’ll learn why traditional health records systems fail, how blockchain addresses issues of trust, security, and interoperability, and where it actually makes sense to use it (and where it doesn’t).
By the end of the program, you’ll be able to confidently assess, design, and govern blockchain-based healthcare records systems that are secure, compliant, and patient-centered.
