A New Decade
In an article published in The Washington Post in November 2018, the author shared the horrific experiences of women being inseminated with their own doctor’s sperm instead of the sperm donor that the doctor had promised to procure. For at least one victim and her now adult child in Indiana, this reproductive scam felt like rape. The article observes that reproductive fraud is not an isolated event in one or two regions. No, it has occurred across the globe; women struggling with fertility and their children-to-be are exposed to unidentified illness, medical criminality and scandalous abuses of trust, identification, security and safety.
In Part One of this article, we explored the growing development of mobile technology and the myriad of ways in which it can be deployed, both within and outside the health arena.
Recently, I participated in a workshop at the National Academy of Sciences, Institute of Medicine, titled “Examining the Impact of Real-World Evidence on Medical Product Development.”
Part One of this Article focused on the underutilization of existing technologies to improve disaster relief in the field of healthcare. Now we turn to another relatively new technology that has already been applied to the personal health arena; although, there has been considerable discussion as to its merits generally and in healthcare in particular: blockchain. And, for the record, blockchain will not be the only or last technological advance to infiltrate healthcare.
