目前大家對Blockchain在醫(yī)療領(lǐng)域的應用過于樂觀。
首先，什么是Blockchain？
Blockchain is a term used to describe systems that borrow technology and design patterns from Bitcoin. Key characteristics include no central point of control, high availability, strong data integrity, and network-wide consensus.
Block與比特幣一同誕生。它的主要特點是：無中間人；高可用性；數(shù)據(jù)整合；網(wǎng)絡分布廣。

分析人員和專家過于樂觀
Betting on technology before it’s ready is a fast way to lose your job.
在Blockchain未成熟之前就投入其中可能導致失業(yè)
Tokenized platforms such as Ethereum have an incentive to hype the technology to increase the value of the token.
借勢哄抬價格
Immature Infrastructure 架構(gòu)不成熟
Most blockchain technology is experimental and untested.
大多數(shù)blockchain技術(shù)還在試驗階段

Patient-Controlled Data 患者主導數(shù)據(jù)
Enabling patients to manage their health care data is risky.
讓患者掌握更多的數(shù)據(jù)可能不是一件有利的事情
