Blockchain technology is providing the World a whole new platform to make things work better and more efficient. At the stage we are right now, not much Innovation is going on, but that does not mean that we are not aware of the power of what we have at Hand
The major reason in my opinion for the slow rate of adoption that the Blockchain has is the lack of structures that will make people see the benefits of this new technology
There have been a lot of talks in the previous year of how Bitcoin and the Blockchain as a whole is heading towards a Bubble and when making this prediction , the so called 'experts' draw their conclusions from what happened during the Internet bubble
Even thought there is a possibility Of that I believe that the Blockchain will not get to a state where its bubble will burst.
The major reason why the Internet bubble happened was because the rate of adoption did not match the rate of onboarding. Companies saw this new shiny form of technology that could help them gain added attention but did not bother to put things in place to ensure that people will visit those website that they were building
Even if Bitcoin turns to become a bubble, the technology powering it won't die. The Blockchain is going to revolutionalize things as we know it across all sectors of the economy
The Blockchain has provided users all over the world with a simple and secure way to esthablsih trust. There is now trustworthy systems for the movement of all forms of assets without any form of manipulation Involved
Coming from its defination as a public ledger, the blockchain can be used to record data that the recorder deems Important using the power of cryptography and programming. This provides users with a safe and secure control over their digital profiles(identities)
Businesses can now harness this ability in the race to minimiaze the cost of data storage and management. And this is multi sectoral , there is no special sector that can only make use of this technology. It can be used for Immigration, Identity platforms (UPort) and in this case Health care
One of the challenges to Implementing this tech has been access to actual data. Data is a very sensitive resource and people who owns it in different forms like to guard it closely. It will be fatal if it gets into the wrong hands
We have already seen nations like Estonia where Citizens make use of Smart cards to access various government services including their medical records. Patients can see people who have been viewing their records and there is an option to restrict access to their data.
The program was Implemted in a way that ensures security of user data, and this kind of structure can be achieved on the Blockcahin all around the World

Air Clinic is a Steem project by @nairadaddy which aims to build a Medical powerhouse on the Steem Blockchain.
The Steem Blockchain has been called a 'Mother' Blockchain due to its ability to birth a variety of Blockchain economies. The SMT's protocol being worked by STINC will create a whole new layer for product development
Healthcare is one of the Vital sectors that needs to come onboard the Blockchain. There have been a lot of issues facing the Healthcare Industry that the Blockchain can bring a solution to.
Experts have stated that the Blockchain can bring ease to the sharing of Medical records in a secure way, protect vital Information from hackers and also make it very easy for patients to have access to their medical records, something which is very rare
A central point of pain is patient medical records which most times is inaccessible , it costs a lot of Money to run data centers , but we have seen Blockchains like Steem which can store Information with Immutability.
Millions of Blog posts have been made on this platforms across different front ends and all those data is accessible to anyone who needs it. The recent work by the Steem Devs will even make it possible to edit posts that have passed the seven days mark
Air Clinic is the Steem Project leading the charge for health on the Steem Blockchain. The project recently lauched an App frontend for the Steem Blockchain in addition to its own token Aircoin which will be used to reward users of the App based on their activity
On the Application you can post your health status and gain rewards and also follow people who use the Application
