Healthcare Data Management and Blockchain: Use Cases

Health data is personal data and thus falls under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Hence data security and privacy preservation should be addressed in every step of the data processing flow.

The privacy preserving approaches of two EU Horizon 2020 projects in healthcare data management deserve special attention. These projects applying blockchain technology are MyHealthMyData (MHMD) and PharmaLedger. These could serve as blueprints for the development of data flow standards for blockchain use cases.

Detailed information on the two projects is available under:
