A list of ten predictions and explanations is available for the journal audience, and market makers and movers, around the globe. The 10 major themes for the future of blockchain in healthcare over the next year are:

1. Blockchain will become an essential part of consent management
2. Remittance and micropayments will increasingly migrate to blockchain
3. Non-cash assets including outcomes will be tokenized
4. Providers will be credentialed on chain
5. Improvements to blockchain infrastructure will reduce electricity requirements and enhance speed/scalability
6. Supply chain integrity will be tracked on chain
7. Education of stakeholders will refine the use cases for blockchain and accelerate adoption
8. Opportunities for monetization of data including the genome will be enhanced by blockchain
9. Integrity of medical records will be an essential use case for blockchain
10. Existing blockchain in healthcare startups will be acquired and we’ll see substantial consolidation of blockchain in healthcare offerings

 
Dr. Halmaka adds, “To me, the top use cases for blockchain in healthcare in 2019 are consent management, provider credentialing, and guaranteeing data integrity. Micropayments to incentivize patient behavior are speculative but worth pursuing"

Iulian Circo, Co-founder, Proof of Impact commented “By allowing the tracking of individual events at any scale, Blockchain will usher in radical new models for financing healthcare. These will include smart-contract triggered nano-payments/ incentives along the patient journey, highly personalized, event-triggered insurance models as well as automatically released payments once health outcome has been verified.”
