Blockchain technology allows the secure recording of transactions or data exchange. Its field of action is not exclusive to cryptocurrencies; today it is possible that the health sector uses this system in order to unify medical and technological efforts.

The public electronic book known as blockchain is revolutionizing the health sector and expanding the model of doing business. Given the nature of reliability and security of personal health information, the blockchain network allows to guarantee and share the protection of data, medical history and  medications.

Currently there are different applications to be managed in a clinic, allowing you to decentralize what is inherent to the sector and the social actors involved. One of the areas where its application can be visualized is in aesthetic medicine, since there is a lot of investment allocated for the care of prostheses and other resources to be grafted or applied during its intervention.

Block technology has made it possible to facilitate the control and management of the transfer process, in addition to avoiding fraud and possible scams that modify the expected results. One of the reasons why the blockchain is taken into consideration in the health sector is the incessant speculation of theft, fraud, forgery and alterations.

One of the advantages of this business model is the security it offers to the laboratory, pharmacy, doctor, clinic and patient, in addition to guaranteeing the privacy of users.

Another advantage is the guarantee and availability of clinical information, which cannot be altered by a third party, facilitating a secure and decentralized monitoring of the data generated by each of the processes inherent to clinical care.
