Today we are talking about a complex, important industry: Healthcare.

It is especially poor in the United States, so we invited an expert: Ryan Kuriakose of the Open Health Exchange.

Ryan and I talk about the challenges of the current ecosystem and examine where blockchain tech may be able to help:

  • Lowering costs
  • Data efficiency and control
  • the Big Pharma industry
  • Help for the underinsured
  • Service providers and the middlemen
  • Regulatory issues
  • Blockchain opportunities in the industry: peer to peer, logistics, empowerment and control of patient data
  • The Open Health Exchange, Ryan's platform

Why are prescription drugs so expensive? Why does everyone HAVE to have insurance?

In the future, will Peer to Peer healthcare become a dominating force?
