The successful adoption of blockchain in auditing of financial transactions and building trust among diverse stakeholders has demonstrated its adaptability in other sectors. The healthcare industry is one of the largest sectors that can be greatly influenced with adoption of blockchain in a variety of applications such as interoperability and cybersecurity of health information exchange (HIE), public health management and health data analytics research. In this workshop, we explore the influence of blockchain technology in promoting data intensive medical research where the data are patient-oriented and the trust and assurance of security and privacy are at its core.
