What you'll learn
As blockchain technology grows within the healthcare setting, the industry has seen numerous initiatives arise to apply blockchain technology to healthcare use cases. What we also have seen is the growth of another male-dominated industry, coined by the industry as the “blockchain bros”. In this webinar, we will hear from three women who have established themselves as influential thought-leaders working with blockchain technology. Join us to learn about their journey through this industry and hear how their work is influencing blockchain technology’s positive impact on healthcare.
This session will:
- Share experiences that lead to a blockchain career in the healthcare setting.
- Discuss the challenges of breaking into a male-dominated field.
- Describe how their areas of focus are improving the delivery of care.
