It takes 17 years on average to bring new medical treatments ideas
into evidence-based clinical practice. The growing replicability
crisis in science further delays these "new miracles." Blockchain
can improve science and accelerate medical research while bringing
a new layer of trust to healthcare. This book is about science, its
value to medicine, and how we can use blockchain to improve the
quality and impact of both. The book looks at science and medicine
from an insider's perspective and describes the processes,
successes, shortcomings and opportunities in an accessible way for
a broad audience. It weaves this a non-technical look at the
emerging world of blockchain technology; what it is, where it is
useful, and how it can improve science and medicine. It lays out a
roadmap for this application to transform how we develop knowledge
about health and medicine to improve our lives. In the first part,
Blockchain isn't Tech, the authors look at blockchain/distributed
ledger technology along with critical trade-offs and current
explorations of its utility. They give an overview of use cases for
the technology across industries, including finance, manufacturing
and healthcare, with interviews and insights from leaders across
government, academia, and tech/health industry both big and
start-up. In the second part, Science is Easy, the authors look at
science as a process and how this drives advancement in medicine.
They shed a light on some of science's shortcomings, including the
reproducibility crisis and problems with misaligned incentives
(i.e. publish or perish). They apply a breakdown of critical
components to the functional steps in the scientific process and
outline how the open science movement is looking to improve these,
while highlighting the limit of these fixes with current
technology, incentives and structure of science. In the third part,
DAO of Science, the authors look at how blockchain applied to open
science can impact medical research. They examine how this
distributed approach can provide better quality science,
value-based research and faster medical miracles. Finally, they
provide a vision of the future of distributed medical research and
give a roadmap of steps to get there.
