Thoughts on healthcare information on the blockchain? Transmission of health care information across EMRs continues to be archaic and limits the ability to provide the highest quality of care

I think if by blockchain you mean git, absolutely. That's what I've done at UH Cancer Center. Also working on CancerDB.com, also on Git. I do not think you need it on a public distributed open ledger though—I think git is enough.

What was your motivation behind cancerDB? Interesting though - with what seems like an exponential increase in immunotherapies, oncologists are certainly going to become overwhelmed with the options available

My bet is a massive public domain CSV file (10,000's of rows, 1,000's of columns) will make a major difference in cancer research and cancer care. The data is human curated. Think of it like a highly pruned LLM, with millions of valuable parameters, rather than billions of black box params.
