If you’re wondering whether blockchain technologies are worth deploying in healthcare, you’ll probably find the following to be worth a look. According to a Forbes piece, Intermountain Healthcare has been using a mix of blockchain-based technology and AI to find waste within its 22 hospitals, and has generated a boatload of savings as a result.
Intermountain built its new solution with two vendors, BurstIQ and Empiric Health.

Burst IQ, meanwhile, uses blockchain-based tech to support fine-grained ownership of data and protect privacy while making the data available to a large number of stakeholders, including patients, health systems, insurers, and medical researchers.
