Do So

Blockchain technology has been discussed and analyzed throughout numerous practitioner and scholarly applications, but the majority of said analysis has tended to focus on the financial services space. From a blockchain and broader cryptoasset space this seems to make logical sense, but overlooks other potential applications. Specifically, as intellectual assets and intangible property assume greater importance in virtually aspect of the economy, the potential for blockchain and cryptoassets does appear to be increasing. Written in a tone and manner of interest to both practitioner and academic audience, this analysis examines how the Brave browser attempts to rebalance the proverbial scale between who controls the valuable information that continues to dominate the business landscape. In addition this research presents a potential framework for how organizations and individuals can monetize what potentially may be the most value resource going forward – digital information - and do so in a manner that is both equitable as well as leveraging the emerging technology of blockchain.

It is only a matter of time before technology emerges to open up a whole new world of opportunities. For example, the invention of the Internet was a development like this that changed the world in almost every theory. Blockchain technology is also one of the emerging technological advances that is expected to change the way transactions are conducted, thus affecting a wide range of potential applications. Blockchain is a distributed software network that works both as a digital logger and a method that allows secure transfer of assets without a mediator. Just as the Internet is a technology that facilitates the flow of digital information, blockchain is a technology that facilitates the digital exchange of digital value. Anything from coins to land titles to votes can be token, stored, and exchanged via a blockchain network.

Blockchain is one of the most growing technologies that is playing a vital role in the professional world today. Blockchain is the technology that is going to revolutionize many industries in the future including healthcare. It is simply defined as a decentralized, distributed ledger that records the provenance of a digital asset. Blockchain is used as a backbone for many industries such as cryptocurrencies, bitcoin, and many more. Although its capability and application have to be extended far beyond. The objective of blockchain is to allow digital information to be recorded and distributed, but not edited. In the last couple of years many industries finding new ways to implement blockchain technology with a wide range of domains. And this sudden increase in technology also provided many new application opportunities, including financial services, smart contracts, energy trading, supply chain, healthcare, etc. In this paper, we know briefly about blockchain technologies and some of their applications. We also show how blockchain is going to revolutionize the healthcare industry in the future.

Data security is the key to the development of modern internet technology. By allowing digital information to be distributed but not copied, blockchain technology created the backbone of a new type of internet. It allows storage of all transactions into immutable records and every record distributed across many participant’s nodes. As there is huge increase in the use cases for blockchain technology, nowadays, the primary issue is to enable secure data sharing, data integrity and authentication. The goal of this study paper is to provide a systematic literature survey exploring the use of blockchain as a base technology for securing financial as well as non-financial applications. The purpose is to identify the whether blockchain technology is capable to provide the desired security solutions in various application. The advantages, challenges and the solution provided by previous research is discussed. The survey was focused on various security issues like Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authenticity, Accountability, and Reliability. The study shows that the Blockchain technology is prospective for financial and non-financial services since it can provide solutions for majority of security issues. Future research needs to provide the implementations of desired solutions discussed in security challenges of Blockchain technology

Emerging Topics

Emerging technology and technology tools such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, and automation at large continue to drive change and disruption throughout the broader financial services landscape. While numerous articles, webcasts, and books have been put together analyzing these different topics and the implications they might have on different areas of the professional landscape, this article proposes a different approach. Instead of focusing on definitions, terminology, or assessing potential impacts at a higher level or through a broad scope of possible applications, this research examines certain specific trends and aspects of these technologies and the impacts they will generate on the profession. Definitions and work terminology will, of course, be a part of this research, but that does not form the core of this piece. Rather, and written with both a practitioner and academic audience in mind, certain emerging topics such and applications built on top of blockchain technology, as well as implementation issues connected to other emerging issues, are the core of this piece.

AbstractBlockchain can be thought of as a distributed database allowing tracing of the origin of data, and who has manipulated a given data set in the past. Medical applications of blockchain technology are emerging. Blockchain has many potential applications in medical imaging, typically making use of the tracking of radiological or clinical data. Clinical applications of blockchain technology include the documentation of the contribution of different “authors” including AI algorithms to multipart reports, the documentation of the use of AI algorithms towards the diagnosis, the possibility to enhance the accessibility of relevant information in electronic medical records, and a better control of users over their personal health records. Applications of blockchain in research include a better traceability of image data within clinical trials, a better traceability of the contributions of image and annotation data for the training of AI algorithms, thus enhancing privacy and fairness, and potentially make imaging data for AI available in larger quantities. Blockchain also allows for dynamic consenting and has the potential to empower patients and giving them a better control who has accessed their health data. There are also many potential applications of blockchain technology for administrative purposes, like keeping track of learning achievements or the surveillance of medical devices. This article gives a brief introduction in the basic technology and terminology of blockchain technology and concentrates on the potential applications of blockchain in medical imaging.
