It may sound naive of me but I haven’t realized until recently the value of my own information including that of my health information. It’s great that I got interested with blockchain tech and I have been reading a lot about it.

The article says ” a very small percentage of patients worldwide maintain comprehensive data sets containing their clinical history, in combination with lifestyle data, the genetic profiles, blood biochemistry and cell count profiles, drug uses, and supplement use etc as they fail to grasp the value in this data and do not get tested on regular intervals. Pharmaceutical and consumer companies are willing to pay substantial amounts for large numbers of personal data records that would assist with informed training of their AI. These funds can be used for devising innovative uses for the various data types, subsidizing regular testing by patients, and for developing sophisticated diagnostic and treatment tools.”

What is the Blockchain?



A block chain is a transaction database shared by all nodes participating in a system based on the Bitcoin protocol. A full copy of a currency’s block chain contains every transaction ever executed in the currency. With this information, one can find out how much value belonged to each address at any point in history.
