Abstract

Blockchain, although an attractive and emerging technology, poses several considerations and challenges when it comes to implementation. These become more apparent when it comes to designing and implementing blockchain solutions for the healthcare sector. In this chapter, we start by exploring Catena-X"”a state-of-the-art collaborative and open data ecosystem utilizing blockchain. This is currently gaining traction in Europe. Catena-X is currently being implemented in the automotive industry. We try to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that led to the success of this project. Then, we go on to use the insights we can gain from Catena-X to derive a suggested blockchain architecture for the healthcare sector. The objective of this architecture is to enhance its data-sharing capacity whilst maintaining security and transparency.
