Blockchain is an emerging digital technology with unique features such as decentralization and transparency. In health, it is possible to use blockchain for the management of electronic medical records, mobile health, among others. You can learn more by clicking here<\/a>. Through blockchain, many technologies that are part of traditional database management systems could be replaced.<\/p>

The Lancet published the review titled: Blockchain Applications in Healthcare for COVID-19 and Beyond: A Systematic Review. The objective of the research was to conduct a systematic review of the use of blockchain technology in healthcare, with identified use cases categorized specifically into COVID-19 related and non-COVID-19 related applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The review included publications with the following search criteria: original research articles, conference proceedings, or preprints proposing specific healthcare applications and technical design of blockchain with or without prototyping; in English exclusively; and published between January 1, 2016 and April 10, 2021. Although finally during the process the publication period was extended to include articles published until June 29, 2021.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The authors were able to identify relevant reports from MEDLINE, SpringerLink, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Xplore, ScienceDirect, arXiv, and Google Scholar. In total, they evaluated 85,375 articles with 415 complete reports, of which 37 were related to COVID-19 and 378 were not.<\/p>

Most of these articles were published in engineering journals (257), and others were of an interdisciplinary (145) and medical (13) nature.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

The applications related to COVID-19 were used for the control or surveillance of the pandemic, for the management of vaccination passports and contact tracing. On the other hand, apps not related to COVID-19 were used for electronic medical record management, remote monitoring or mobile health, and supply chain monitoring.<\/p>

\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has potentially lowered barriers to entry for new and innovative digital technologies in healthcare by shifting mindsets in favor of such technologies. This change can be inferred from the increased number of COVID-19-specific blockchain applications evaluated in response to the global pandemic,\u201d the authors conclude.<\/p>

Regarding the present and future challenges of blockchain, they mention the following: "interoperability will be required through open standards such as Fast Healthcare interoperability resources", they also explain about cost deliberation and application efficiency. On the other hand, using blockchain is not guaranteed to eliminate risks related to data privacy, and finally there are concerns about governance.<\/p>

To conclude, the authors explained the following "we believe that the literature evaluated in this systematic review represents a solid foundation for blockchain as an enabling platform for a broad spectrum of health care applications, both during and after the COVID-19 pandemic."<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The Lancet public\u00f3 un estudio en octubre que aparecer\u00e1 en su edici\u00f3n de diciembre de 2021, se trata de una revisi\u00f3n de aplicaciones basadas en blockchain para el cuidado de la salud en general y relacionadas con COVID-19. Blockchain es una tecnolog\u00eda digital emergente con caracter\u00edsticas \u00fanicas, como la descentralizaci\u00f3n y la transparencia. En salud es posible utilizar blockchain para la gesti\u00f3n de registros m\u00e9dicos electr\u00f3nicos, salud m\u00f3vil, entre otras. Puedes conocer m\u00e1s haciendo clic aqu\u00ed. A trav\u00e9s de blockchain se podr\u00edan reemplazar muchas tecnolog\u00edas que hacen parte de los sistemas tradicionales de administraci\u00f3n de bases de datos. The Lancet public\u00f3 la revisi\u00f3n titulada: Aplicaciones de blockchain en el cuidado de la salud para COVID-19 y m\u00e1s all\u00e1: una revisi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica. El objetivo de la investigaci\u00f3n fue realizar una revisi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica del uso de la tecnolog\u00eda blockchain en el cuidado de la salud, con casos de uso identificados categorizados espec\u00edficamente en aplicaciones relacionadas con COVID-19 y no relacionadas con COVID-19. La revisi\u00f3n incluy\u00f3 publicaciones con los siguientes criterios de b\u00fasqueda: art\u00edculos de investigaci\u00f3n originales, actas de congresos o preprints que proponen aplicaciones espec\u00edficas de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica y dise\u00f1o t\u00e9cnico de blockchain con o sin desarrollo de prototipos; en ingl\u00e9s exclusivamente; y publicado entre el 1 de enero de 2016 y el 10 de abril de 2021. Aunque finalmente durante el proceso se ampli\u00f3 el periodo de publicaci\u00f3n para incluir art\u00edculos publicados hasta el 29 de junio de 2021. Los autores lograron identificar informes relevantes en MEDLINE, SpringerLink, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Xplore, ScienceDirect, arXiv y Google Scholar. En total evaluaron 85 mil 375 art\u00edculos con 415 informes completos, de los cuales 37 se relacionaron con COVID-19 y 378 no se relacionaron. La mayor\u00eda de estos art\u00edculos fueron publicados en revistas de ingenier\u00eda (257), y otras fueron de car\u00e1cter interdisciplinario (145) y m\u00e9dico (13).   Las aplicaciones relacionadas con COVID-19, fueron utilizadas para el control o vigilancia de la pandemia, para la gesti\u00f3n de pasaportes de vacunaci\u00f3n y rastreo de contactos. Por otra parte, las apps no relacionadas con COVID-19, fueron utilizadas para la administraci\u00f3n de registros m\u00e9dicos electr\u00f3nicos, monitoreo remoto o salud m\u00f3vil y monitoreo de la cadena de suministro. \u201cLa pandemia de COVID-19 ha reducido potencialmente las barreras a la entrada de tecnolog\u00edas digitales nuevas e innovadoras en el cuidado de la salud al alterar la mentalidad a favor de tales tecnolog\u00edas. Este cambio se puede inferir del mayor n\u00famero de aplicaciones de blockchain espec\u00edficas de COVID-19 evaluadas en respuesta a la pandemia global\u201d, concluyen los autores. Sobre los desaf\u00edos presentes y futuros de blockchain mencionan lo siguiente: “se requerir\u00e1 la interoperabilidad mediante est\u00e1ndares abiertos como los recursos de interoperabilidad Fast Healthcare”, adem\u00e1s explican sobre la deliberaci\u00f3n de costos y la eficiencia de las aplicaciones.  Por otra parte, utilizar blockchain no garantiza eliminar riesgos relacionados con privacidad de datos, y finalmente existe preocupaciones sobre gobernanza. Para finalizar los autores explicaron lo siguiente “creemos que la literatura evaluada en esta revisi\u00f3n sistem\u00e1tica representa una base s\u00f3lida para blockchain como plataforma habilitadora para un amplio espectro de aplicaciones de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, tanto durante como despu\u00e9s de la pandemia de COVID-19”.
