Fremont, CA : The promise of blockchain in healthcare is vast and mostly untapped. However, there is a more significant opportunity in aged care. Transparency into the safety and well-being of its patients is critical in the senior care industry. Concerns about the care and safety of the elderly in nursing homes have grown, and blockchain can at the very least provide a forum for accountability and assurance.
Families are not often aware of their elderly relatives' backgrounds, whether they are in nursing homes or their own homes. These relatives cannot remember or relay these events with precision in some instances. Families will be able to keep track of their elderly relatives and have peace of mind, knowing that they are safe, thanks to blockchain.
Consumers have a universal appetite for data transparency; however, the lack of data transparency in aged care may be life-threatening. It encompasses more than just bribery, possible miscalculations, or data opacity in supply chains. A lack of data transparency can jeopardize an elderly person's life and health in senior care.
