Hi all,

Currently I'm looking into different blockchain applications in the healthcare space.
I was wondering which ones are considered as best-practices, and if I'm missing big ones.

This is no investment question at all, just genuine interest in how blockchain can disrupt the healthcare industry.

Thanks for helping me complete this list!

Data management:
- Medibloc
- Medicalchain
- Patientory

Supply chain:
- Gem
- Chronicled

Genome sequencing
- Encrypgen


You know, Blockchain truly has the potential to create new foundations for the healthcare industry, as it really needs to be innovated. Despite the huge advances, healthcare still lacks efficiency. But Blockchain can place the patient at the center of the whole ecosystem increasing the privacy, security and enabling sharing of the health data. In this regard, we moved a step closer to reality after many startups decided to address some existing pain points. I can mention the following projects...

MedRec. The project is designed for providing a secure mechanism to store the medical records./
PointNurse. It concentrates on giving nurses a possibility to lead patient-focused care outside the hospital./
Health Wizz. This platform enables patients to make up their own digital health portfolio and give access to any interested person.
