The data science of clinical care and clinical research is converging. But IT systems and solutions continue to be deployed separately for each – making care and research that spans the divide more difficult and costly than it need be. This discussion provides an overview of a blockchain-powered architecture for automating health data compliance across varieties of healthcare organizational and use case silos. Using real world experience bridging clinical care and clinical trials (real-world data and trial generated data), this presentation will highlight how blockchain technology is streamlining healthcare innovation today, and is laying the foundation for more inclusive and responsive Web3-powered health innovation in the years to come.

Wei Hu | Senior Vice President of Development, Oracle
Blockchain is a new technology that has attracted a tremendous amount of interest. However, up to now, blockchain has mainly been used to develop decentralized multi-party applications. This talk will describe Oracle’s breakthrough technology that deeply integrates blockchain into the Oracle database. Since virtually all critical data are stored in databases, this makes it possible to implement blockchain in mainstream healthcare and enterprise applications with minimal changes. We will begin by introducing the threats posed by hackers and compromised insiders. Then we will describe how in-database blockchain can protect your data against these threats. We will compare this against conventional blockchains as well as share use cases from customers who have adopted this technology.

The integration of digital twin technologies in precision health, pharma, and life sciences has gained significant attention in recent years. Digital twin technologies are expected to play a critical role in improving healthcare outcomes as we move towards the era of personalized medicine. In this panel discussion, we will explore the key drivers for the adoption of digital twin technologies, including the transition to Web 3.0, the establishment of a global interconnected health ecosystem, and the unique benefits of blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and other converging frontier technologies to optimize healthcare, pharma, and life sciences.
However, the successful implementation of blockchain-powered digital twin technologies in precision health is contingent upon the adequate implementation of cyber safety measures, proactive ethics programs, data validation, data provenance, optimized supply chain management, and enhanced interoperability. Our panel discussion will highlight the significant role of blockchain-powered digital twins in revolutionizing the management, security, sharing, ownership, and monetization of health data. Our panelists will also emphasize the potential for blockchain-powered digital twins to be deployed in pharma supply chain management and new drug development in the precision health era. Our speakers will demonstrate the amplified impact on patient outcomes when blockchain capabilities are augmented with a full AI portfolio of tools during digital twin deployments in healthcare, pharma, and life sciences.

The National Cybersecurity Strategy of 2023 emphasizes the importance of implementing zero trust architectures (ZTA). ZTA is listed as a key component in the approach to cybersecurity. The National Cybersecurity strategy emphasizes the need for agencies and organizations to adopt a ZTA to include MFA, encryption, continuous monitoring, and more. These measures are listed as being essential to protect networks, devices, data, and information systems from the plethora of cyber threats we face. Critical infrastructure has been frequently attacked and targeted by nefarious actors, especially the healthcare industry. Due to the nature of information that is hosted and interacted with in the healthcare industry, the implementation of a ZTA is all the more crucial. In the context of health care, zero trust is becoming increasingly essential because of the vast amounts of patient health information that can be highly valuable
to cyber criminals. Moreover, the rise of telemedicine, remote work, and online communications with doctors and healthcare staff leave information systems vulnerable. Thus, implementing a zero trust approach in healthcare can reduce the risk and impact of security incidents. A ZTA can improve the security posture of healthcare organizations to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of patient data. However, the implementation of a ZTA
within health care can face some hurdles. Consequently, this panel will address these challenges and remediations.

Blockchain applications in healthcare have grown rapidly. BC in healthcare applications includes record keeping, clinical trials, medical supply chains, patient monitoring, etc where BC characteristics are needed to improve safety, privacy, and security. BC is one of the biggest disruptive technologies today. However, Porru, et al (2017) have reported it lacks processes, tools, and techniques.
Destefanis et. Al. (2018) has reported that there is a need for smart contract programming based on a disciplined approach and have reported several incidents of vulnerabilities causing freezing of more than 500K users with the loss of $150 millions of dollars. In addition, existing studies on software engineering for blockchain Dapps sought for a systematic approach (Beller and Hejderup, 2018; Destefanis et. Al. 2018; Chung L, do Prado Leite JCS 2009).
Therefore, this talk provides a systematic framework for a secure and sustainable software engineering framework for healthcare blockchain applications. S3EF-HBCA includes requirements engineering for healthcare, business process modelling for healthcare, a reference architecture for healthcare, and validation by case study and simulation with BPMN. The results show encouragement in terms of process, tools, standards, and testing.

From a patient point of view drug discovery takes too long, whereas researchers express there is too much bureaucracy in the process. For actors in policy and regulation, the perception is that accelerated R&D has not translated into better patient outcomes. The future of pharma and digital therapies is fraught with increased costs and uncertain profitability – even insurance companies have experienced reduced ability to place new drugs on formulary. We pay more for drugs and die younger- so how should we practically redesign CTMS?
The answer to this and other related questions will be spotlighted with a pointed presentation of the challenges of bringing dCTMS to real life along with a tailored workshop where instructors will cover:
Decentralized Science (DeSci) efforts are harnessing the power of Web3 technologies to improve, accelerate and democratize scientific research via DAOs, IP-NFTs, crypto financing, tokenized research, self-sovereign data contributions and other tools. Many of these efforts focus on health. However, the emerging DeSci ecosystem remains generally separate from the legacy health innovation systems that patients and health system worldwide continue to rely on to improve care and outcomes. This panel focuses on strategies to bridge DeSci and legacy health innovation in order to scale the transformative potential of DeSci for health.
