LESSON 1

• Most eHealth professionals are somewhat familiar with blockchain, but deeper knowledge is limited.

• The knowledge gap is largest among professionals working in healthcare facilities.

• Especially in Germany.

LESSON 2

• Blockchain technology tools and products are rarely used and provided in European healthcare at the moment.

• A significant share of professionals is unaware about ongoing blockchain activities.

• Consultants appear to be the most active group of blockchain “users” so far.

• Most stakeholders are still in their learning phase.

the top use cases

for blockchain in

healthcare?

LESSON 3• Blockchain can be used in many fields, for many purposes.

• Across all countries, blockchain is expected to improve data protection, enable secure data exchanges, and accelerate the collaboration of different stakeholders.

• Expectations about blockchain benefits differ significantly by stakeholder segment.

• Blockchain is unlikely to reduce data transaction costs.

Which are the

biggest challenges

for blockchain in

healthcare?

KEY CHALLENGES FOR BLOCKCHAIN IN HEALTHCARE

Which are the biggest challenges for blockchain in healthcare?Multiple choice with a maximum of 3 responses; n = 893 (number of responses)

Lack of in-house skills & insufficient user knowledge

Insufficient product maturity & unproven technology

Regulatory and GDPR-related issues

Interoperability with other soft-/hardware

Uncertain Return-on-Investment

Lack of trust from medical staff

Potential security threats

Lack of trust from patients

Implementation of new soft-/hardware

High costs

LESSON 4• Further spread of blockchain is restricted by

lack of in-house skills and knowledge immaturity of available products healthcare-specific interoperability and regulatory challenges (e.g. GDPR)

• Country variation is rather moderate, but… Dutch eHealth professionals are more concerned about ROI than their peers from

other countries

in the healthcare

ecosystem do you

76%Don’t know any vendor

LESSON 5

• Most eHealth professionals are not aware of any blockchain vendor.

• Vendors have a rare opportunity to “mark this territory”.

• Brand awareness drives consumer decisions.

LESSON 6• Blockchain supported tools and processes won’t be around (much) immediately. But they will

be in a few years.

• It’s time to get prepared.

• Knowledge and skills

• Value and use cases

• Guidelines & Policies

• Brand awareness

• Timing
