Susan Ramonat: Wait… Blockchain in Healthcare?
Blockchain and AI and IoT, OH MY!
“Whereas most technologies tend to automate workers on the periphery doing menial tasks, blockchains automate away the center. Instead of putting the taxi driver out of a job, blockchain puts Uber out of a job and lets the taxi drivers work with the customer directly.”
-- Vitalik Buterin, co-founder Ethereum and Bitcoin Magazine
According to our friends at Proto, IDC Health predicts that blockchain adoption in health care will increase eightfold by 2022. Yet for now, it remains a technology in its infancy, and one recent survey of health care organizations found that only 6%

Does the cybersecurity industry do that to you?

What if she used plain language to explain some very bleeding edge technology?
Spiritus CEO Susan Ramonat joins Matt Stephenson this week to talk about the role of Distributed Ledger Technology and Blockchain in securing healthcare data
