The convergence of digital twin technologies with precision health, pharmaceutical industry, and life sciences has garnered substantial recent attention. As we advance toward personalized medicine and precision health, the fusion of digital twin and blockchain technologies is poised to fundamentally enhance healthcare outcomes. This conference discussion highlighted pivotal drivers accelerating the adoption of digital twin-enabled blockchain solutions, encompassing the shift to a decentralized world wide web (Web 3.0), the establishment of a global interconnected health ecosystem, and the distinct advantages offered by converging frontier technologies in optimizing healthcare, pharmaceutical industry, and life sciences. Yet, the effective deployment of blockchain-powered digital twins in precision health necessitates robust cyber safety measures, proactive ethical frameworks, data validation, provenance assurance, streamlined supply chain management, and heightened interoperability. The proceedings underscored Blockchain-powered Digital Twins' pivotal role in reshaping health data management, security, sharing, ownership, and monetization, as well as in revolutionizing pharmaceutical supply chain management and novel drugs and therapeutics development within the precision health domain.

“To understand innovation you should ask "why not?" and not "why?" Selling (blockchain) is a problem and people and companies are blocking adoption which prevents innovation within a company, and stymies costs savings and efficientcy - that is the problem. It's a problem to be stuck in an innovation department - blockchain needs to be used in operations. Scientists and technologists need to understand one another better to create opportunity and success" - Raja Sharif, CEO, ATMPS In 2022, the team at ATMPS launched a potential game changer with a new approach to cell and gene therapy tracking, allowing more streamlined applications, payment options, and opportunity to realize true manufacturing safety and trust at scale, faster for personalized medicines and regimen treatments.

Virtual healthcare is positively transforming how healthcare is delivered. As a result, multiple organizations must come together to execute care delivery that’s complicated by challenges with centralized EMR systems in virtual care management. Information management, including storage, sharing, and accessibility, needs to be carefully managed and considered. Blockchain technology is a viable solution to address new challenges created by virtual care.

The panel discussion will cover how blockchain enables a more person-centered experience from the beginning of care through payment. With examples from real-world use cases, the discussion will explore how healthcare organizations can better collaborate together using blockchain, co-create workflows and joint processes, and deliver a better experience. The discussion will answer these questions: How are blockchain-enabled solutions more focused on the person? What does the network solve that isn’t addressed by other solutions? How do your use cases transform the member’s experience? What ways can providers and payers collaborate and work together better using blockchain?

Over 90% of all biomedical AI research is stalled due to its inability to access real world protected health information to complete the required clinical validation and valuation prior to its deployment. With AI forecasted to improve patient outcomes by 40% and costs by 50% the new paradigm of zero trust must be adopted and leveraged to avoid the existential crisis facing biomedical AI research. Join us and learn how confidential computing and blockchain meet the requirements of zero trust.
