So with blockchain technology growing and adoption coming quickly, we are obviously going to see large industries like healthcare, banking, and law enforcement begin to utilize the strengths of blockchain.

Can you quote any real-life examples of the same? There are a lot of news and media coverage but have you ever come across a real-life hospital putting any of their processes on blockchain yet?

Curious your thoughts on how blockchain could benefit the healthcare industry and why.
A great use case that I can think of right of the bat, is protection of patient data, making it immutable once stored.

Patient data should be mutable man! What if the patient suffered a condition in the past that he doesn't suffer anymore? The data should be updated. Yes, we don't have to replace the previous record but definitely, need to update it.

To answer your first question, I have no seen any current examples of blockchain application in healthcare. This article nails some stuff that is helps with, I just got some good stuff from it:

Replying to your second quote, patient data can be immutable and still be updated. Redundancy is always a great thing, and so is record keeping, and that is what this would involve. If the patients data needs to be updated, the new data will be stored, thus still having the old record accessible and unchanged.
