Thanks for reading the report. This last weekend there was the first Blockchain Healthcare conference where blockchain was pitched as a panacea for a wide spectrum of healthcare problems.

Our report was targeted at a non-technical audience. Printed copies were distributed to about 500 attendees. We wanted to make them aware that while there may some opportunities for using blockchain technology also comes with substantial risks. We want to help them cut through the hype and maintain a healthy dose of skepticism.

Gartner recently placed blockchain technology at the beginning of their hype cycle.

Not coincidentally, Hyperledger just started a working group for healthcare. [0] Coincidentally, a healthcare application won this week's Hackathon in Amsterdam [1] https://www.finextra.com/pressarticle/66385/medical-data-app...
