ROLE OF BLOCKCHAIN IN HEALTHCARE DATA MANAGEMENT I n recent years, the healthcare industry has been undergoing a digital transformation, leveraging innovative technologies to improve patient care and data management.   One such technology that has gained significant attention is blockchain. Originally known for powering cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, blockchain has found a remarkable application in healthcare data management.  This decentralized and secure ledger system holds immense potential to revolutionize the way sensitive medical information is stored, shared, and utilized across the healthcare ecosystem.  What is  Role of Blockchain in Healthcare Data Management? Blockchain technology has the potential to  revolutionize healthcare data management. It is a type of distributed ledger technology (DLT)  that leverages decentralized peer-to-peer computing, cryptography, and related technology to verify and propagate a chain of transaction records across a consortium, alliance, part

  PRECISION MEDICINE:  Personalizing Healthcare with Genomics W hat if your doctor could prescribe a treatment that is tailored to your unique genetic makeup, lifestyle and environment? That is the promise of precision medicine, an emerging field that uses genomics and other data to create personalized healthcare plans. Precision medicine is not a new concept. For decades, doctors have been using blood type, allergies and other factors to customize treatments for patients. However, with the advances in genomic sequencing and data analysis, precision medicine has become more feasible and affordable than ever before. In the realm of healthcare, one size does not fit all. Each individual is unique, and so are their genetic makeup and health needs. Traditional medical practices have often employed a generalized approach to treatment, assuming that what works for one patient should work for another.  However, thanks to groundbreaking advancements in genomics, the landscape of healthcare is
