04 What I learnt
Future of Health Care
Be aware of the limitations of different health care systems and laws across different states/nations.
Start to think how telemedicine would be applied to the future healthcare industry
Understanding Blockchain System
Understand the concept of a block chain that many own segmented information.
Used Blockchain as a means of achieving full privacy which is a big challenge in the medical industry.
Artificial Intelligent's possibility
Understand the roles and functions that AI can perform.
Mainly, natural language communication frees communication with patients who lack medical expertise.
