New York Healthcare Officials Show Increasing Interest in Blockchain

In New York, one particular coronavirus-related blockchain effort is worth keeping an eye on.

Blockchain Becomes of Big Interest all of a Sudden

It is designed to track drugs, patients, and the spread of this pandemic accordingly.

As the New York healthcare industry is looking at the potential use cases for blockchain, some new cases may come to light overall.

In terms of drug supply chains, there are still some issues to explore moving forward. 

More research and development is needed prior to determining how viable all of this technology really is.
