This limitation can make patients feel coerced into a passive role in decision-making, knowledge, and value-creation processes, often leading to non-participation or even non-adherence to medications and physician instructions.7 To realize the 4P vision of healthcare 4.0 particularly participation of patients, decentralization and democ- ratization of health data is fundamental. keywords: blockchain; data; editorial; health; healthcare; marketplace; patient cache: biht-338.pdf plain text: biht-338.txt item: #72 of 108 id: biht-34 author: Grishin, Dennis; Obbad, Kamal; Estep, Preston; Quinn, Kevin; Wait Zaranek, Sarah; Wait Zaranek, Alexander; Vandewege, Ward; Clegg, Tom; César, Nico; Cifric, Mirza; Church, George title: Accelerating Genomic Data Generation and Facilitating Genomic Data Access Using Decentralization, Privacy-Preserving Technologies and Equitable Compensation date: 2018 words: 8884 flesch: 40 summary: Furthermore, sharing genomic data with researchers promises identification of the causes of many diseases and the development of new therapies.

Although the incorporation of PQC-based algorithms and QKD channels introduces additional computational overhead, the outcomes clearly underscore the efficacy of this design in protecting sensitive healthcare data from unauthorized access or tampering.7 As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 in the preceding Results section, the interdependence of the DAG-based ledger, QKD key management mod- ules, and privacy-preserving cryptographic libraries not only fortifies transaction confidentiality but also ensures that on-chain and off-chain components are harmoni- ously managed.13 Given the inherently sensitive nature of telehealth data, which frequently includes diagnostic images, laboratory results, and personal patient identifi- ers, the heightened security offered by post-quantum tech- niques is a compelling factor driving the feasibility of this architecture. keywords: architecture; blockchain; citation; cryptography; dag; data; healthcare; key; ledger; patient; pqc; privacy; qkd; quantum; roosan; security; system; telehealth; transaction; zkps cache: biht-379.pdf plain text: biht-379.txt item: #84 of 108 id: biht-38 author: Li, Patrick; Nelson, Scott D.; Malin, Bradley A.; Chen, You title: DMMS: A Decentralized Blockchain Ledger for the Management of Medication Histories date: 2019 words: 6411 flesch: 37 summary: Tam VC, Knowles SR, Cornish PL, et al.

According to the latest CMS National Health Expendi- ture Data, these programs represent significant revenue streams, with Medicare accounting for 21% and Medicaid for 18% of total national health expenditures.1 More crit- ically, Medicare and Medicaid together account for more than 60% of all care provided by hospitals, with Medi- care alone accounting for 44% of hospital care revenue.2 Recent polls indicate that transparency in healthcare data handling is a primary concern, with 61% of Americans expressing distrust in how their health information is managed and protected.3 Despite strong public support for healthcare modernization—with 72% of Americans believing current health information systems need signif- icant improvement3—healthcare providers must prepare for the reality of reductions in traditional revenue sources while addressing these trust concerns.  keywords: blockchain; data; healthcare; information; medicare; new; patient; systems; value cache: biht-383.pdf plain text: biht-383.txt item: #86 of 108 id: biht-396 author: Ramachandran, Muthu; Fouracre, Steven title: Rich Data Versus Quantity of Data in Code Generation AI: A Paradigm Shift for Healthcare date: 2025 words: 8069 flesch: 36 summary: Table 3 presents a weighted evaluation criteria matrix comparing rich data versus large quantity data approaches for AI code generation.

In such models, real-time, high-resolution data streams become valuable digital assets, owned by patients and made available for research, insurance modeling, or AI training under strict consent conditions.23 If designed with guardrails against the commodification of health data and protections against coercive monetization among vulnerable groups,24 this paradigm could contribute to a secure and decentralized data-sharing economy that respects consent and incentivizes participation17 In this way, IoMT-integrated health wallets could not only enhance individual care but also serve as entry points into a broader participatory data economy, one that demands robust governance, ethical safeguards, and institutional readiness to fully realize its transformative potential. keywords: 2025; access; blockchain; citation; data; digital; healthcare; internet; medical; patient; records; self; systems; technologies cache: biht-414.pdf plain text: biht-414.txt item: #95 of 108 id: biht-419 author: K, Nandini; Shivappa, Giris; Zachariah, Sharon; Thanushree B.Tech, Thanushree B.Tech; I.
