9 | Dr Abdullah Albeyatti | Will Blockchain improve Healthcare Data?

Dr Abdullah Albeyatti is CEO of Medicalchain, a company tackling a big problem in healthcare. They want your electronic healthcare record to follow you around the health system and be under your control. Currently, healthcare data doesn't easily communicate between hospitals, creating all kinds of havoc.   In this podcast, Abdullah and Zack discuss the use of blockchain technology for health records, the attitude of NHS decision makers towards innovation, whether EHRs should be monetised and marketised, the potential advantages and drawbacks if decentralised health records become a reality, the attitude you need to become a surgeon or entrepreneur; and more!   Abdullah gives helpful anecdotes and tips along the way and I chip in with my thoughts on the underlying trends. // Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4GCUxdYe3qs // About the host Dr Zack Hassan is a trainee in Internal Medicine in Edinburgh, Scotland.
