Abstract

With its principle of non-centralized data collection and non-central database, but sharing and distributing data across networks by credentialed users with the possibility to add and at the same time avoiding data alteration, Blockchain becomes a player in the digital healthcare. From the early buzz on healthcare, it has become lately a promising technology that is able to satisfy digital healthcare interoperability. Given the review of more studies in the Biobanks creation process and the classification of biosamples data, most stakeholders note possible obstacles in the digitization process such: data collection, who handles the data, sharing principle and data owning. At this point the new, common digital form denominator shall be introduced – Datafication. This process represents: Collecting and analyzing acguizied bio data, Deploying derived intelligence, Generate and improve immaculate client experience, products, processes and operations, Together with interoperability gives an answer to question: who owns all the data, Giving people ownership of their personal data through Blockchain, Datafication based on Blockchain, adopting data interoperability inside the flow of the Biobanks creation process with notes of fine refinement and preparation for the end users. Such data are also verified and secured and no alteration of themselves is possible inside the interoperable block-chained cycle. Blockchain-based technologies will become the foundation for digital innovation in digital pathology. A unique combination of artificial intelligence, smart contracts and the Blockchain will become the nervous system of the future Biobank modelling, helping us live longer and healthier lives.
