Several years ago, amidst the surge in interest in blockchain applications in healthcare, Chilmark Research published our own report on trends and companies in this space. We recognized it was still the early days, and there was a tremendous amount of hype but few demonstrable results. Then came the ICO craze, with companies scrambling to find ways to tokenize various healthcare business functions. It did not turn out well and proved a significant setback to the budding industry as a whole.

Recently, Senior Analyst Jody Ranck, DrPH, spoke with Ed Bukstel, an early adopter and developer of blockchain tools, to get an appraisal of the current state of blockchain activities in healthcare. You can read more of Jody's thoughts on this topic in the Chilmark Research post sharing this podcast.
