Last year, Kristen Johns, Partner at Waller joined us to provide an intro to blockchain in healthcare - what it is and some of the applications to the industry. In this conversation Johns returns to give an update on the blockchain landscape a year later and define a few more of the terms (public vs private blockchain, permissioned vs permissionless). From there, Sean O'Brien, Founder of OMNY Health joined us to talk about why his company built a supply chain management system on a blockchain. Together, we discuss the usual concerns: what's real, what's hype, where is distributed ledger technology headed, and when it might - or might not - be the right option for a company to build on.

Part 2. Blockchain in healthcare is a rapidly growing niche, with companies like Hashed Health, Patientory and PokitDok leading innovation in the use of distributed ledger technology for electronic medical records and other applications. Blockchain, though not necessarily the right solution for every problem, is helping with issues in healthcare technology surrounding patient privacy, control of patient data, and health data security. Kristen Johns is a patent attorney at Waller Law, who works with clients on patent and trademark protection, data privacy and security matters, cybersecurity and cloud-related issues. In the past couple of years, she’s been digging into blockchain as an emerging technology, looking at its applications and trajectory across industries including healthcare.
