Abstract

The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate that a patient centric and data-driven approach are required to develop blockchain-based health applications that are useful for patients and healthcare providers. Bowhead Health, describes a case study of such an application to identify people with migraines that required a community-building educational approach. We first describe how a private, Ethereum blockchain platform within the pharmaceutical and consumer health sectors was implemented, including its objectives, key features, adaptations, and implementation steps. Next, we discuss our key learnings and the challenges faced in implementing the blockchain health data case study. In particular, we explore the importance of the community building and education approach that was used as an adjunct tool to support the mindset shifts necessary for blockchain applications to have a beneficial impact in healthcare.
