I ran into another possible usage for the blockchain. Nicky Wolfe has a fine article in Medium on how to use blockchain to allow restricted but easy sharing of medical information.
As a relative newcomer to this world he does a far better job of explaining it than I can. Here's the link:https://medium.com/s/welcome-to-blockchain/what-could-blockchain-do-for-healthcare-59c17245448e
The part that interests me the most is that it will allow each of us more control over our medical records.
Discussion anyone?
