Blockchain technology has surfaced in the generic pharma arena addressing challenges associated with Contract Management, GPO interactions, and Chargeback adjudication. Manufacturers are now burdened with reducing overhead costs that impact the cost of each unit to get medication to patients safely, effectively, and efficiently. Blockchain technology can be used to enhance efficiencies in how partners interact including inventory management, sales data reporting, chargeback validations and rebate accruals.

The financial sector's adoption of technology-driven data analysis has enhanced operational efficiency and revenue generation by leveraging personal sensitive data. However, the inherent characteristics of blockchain hinder decentralized finance (DeFi) from accessing necessary sensitive user data. To address this challenge, we introduce a protocol that both safeguards user privacy and ensures data availability through the incorporation of homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge-proof techniques in blockchain technology. This novel protocol helps mitigate privacy risks caused by sensitive data leaks while improving the capital efficiency of the DeFi market. Furthermore, we explore the applicability of these privacy-preserving methods in on-chain ecosystems and cross-border financial applications. Our solution contributes to secure, user-centric solutions for DeFi while upholding principles of decentralization and privacy protection.

In medical insurance, there are both valid and legitimate claims that should be covered by the insurer and fraudulent or inappropriate claims that should not be paid. Problems arise in scenarios when valid claims are not paid and when fraudulent or inappropriate claims are paid. Hospitals and insurers play critical roles in these cases. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technologies can play significant roles in addressing the problems associated with medical insurance claims. Some of the ways in which these technologies can help are using AI algorithms to analyze data stored on the blockchain for fraud detection, and leveraging blockchain's transparency to improve the accuracy of AI models by providing access to a larger dataset. The author addresses approaches for each senario.

Blockchain technology is a prominent that gained a lot of attention from both industrial and research prospectives. Blockchain system is a decentralized and transparent network, which provides a secure platform for transactions. This scoping review aimed to investigate blockchain technology from a security perspective. The motivation for this review stems from the technology's growing importance across industries and the imperative to address security challenges for sustained adoption and success. This review proposes the security analysis of blockchain with the solution for these security issues, besides the blockchain adoption in various sectors as a solution to ensure security. The findings underscore the imperative for further investigation to formulate solutions for security challenges, whether within blockchain networks themselves or when integrating them into other networks. Additionally, considering the existing research gaps in this field, potential research directions for future exploration are recommended for scholars.

Over the past 50 years, although categorized as the "Information Age" or "Digital Age," the vast amounts of digitized data have been sorely underutilized. Only recently, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, efforts have accelerated to harness these data using blockchain technology as it pertains to healthcare. Today, through the blockchain infrastructure and its tokenization applications, we are able to leverage healthcare data effectively into more efficient business processes. In addition, we can secure better patient engagement and outcomes, while generating new revenue streams for an array of healthcare stakeholders. It is in the application of blockchain technology to compile these stockpiled data into new, compliant business models that we can reap the full potential of the blockchain. Here are predictions by members of the BHTY editorial board members on how we might further advance the role of blockchain in healthcare in 2023.
