Optimizing Health, Education and Governance Delivery Through Blockchain

Abstract

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies are generating profound transformations in most sectors of the society, including healthcare, education and governance sectors that are uplifting communities out of despair in regions around the world. In these sectors, they are remaking financing and usher in an era of how institutions are structured, functioning and their relationships with their publics. This chapter identifies transformative research papers, White Papers, reports on these themes, and then analyzes their contexts, relevance and contributions to the transformations underway in the selected sectors. Using modified Cornell Notes template, for the healthcare, education and governance sectors data is collected, analyzed and categorized into four approaches to technology adoption: transformation, Substitution, Localization and Single Use. The chapter is organized in four main parts: the introductory, background, focus of the study, and the conclusion part.
