The panelists also shared their insights on the potential of blockchain and DLT to create a more precise, accessible, and effective assessment, treatment, diagnosis, and therapy for patients, leading to a revolution in the healthcare ecosystem.
They recommended that stakeholders in the healthcare industry should embrace the potential of blockchain and DLT to address the challenges faced by the industry and work together to establish a credible, diverse, and accomplished network of experts to facilitate discussions on scientific, technical, and policy matters in healthcare. Finally, they highlighted the need for continued innovation and investment in the field of blockchain and DLT to ensure that the potential of these technologies is fully realized in the healthcare industry.
We are entering a post-reality era with a diminishing sense of safety, privacy, and trust. We need to come together to address these risks proactively and reduce harm to humans and societies. XR Safety Initiative (XRSI) believes that the first step to this is creating awareness and safeguards.
Metaverse Safety Week 2022 is a week-long safety campaign, and we need your generous support in making it a Free-for-All, Accessible & Inclusive for everyone.
“The moment to create the change is now. Together we must make it happen.”
