“…Blockchain is being explored as a potential platform for managing clinical trial data due to similar factors. According to Osipenko (2019), data governance is a method of controlling data to avoid unauthorized changes. The author suggests that it provides a technological solution that might enhance transparency, security, quality, and efficiency in clinical trials.…”

The review paper focuses on the most important digital technologies that are used in health care, as well as the difficulties, advantages, and prospective prospects for the future that are linked with the inclusion of digital tools into clinical learning. Within the context of this rapidly evolving digital age, it is of the highest significance for students, medical educators, and training organizations to keep their understanding of the breadth, promise, difficulties, and limitations of digital technologies up to date. Digital health studies aim to realize the promise of digital technologies and understand their feasibility and effects. Through a critical examination of the most famous interdisciplinary digital health publications, this study argues that the digital health field has not really engaged with its main topic, technology. The intricacies of healthcare environments, including different technologies, existing procedures, and people, are ignored in research on digital technologies. The study findings show that health literature focuses on digital technology processing and its effects on digital health research approaches that emphasize technology and context. It claims that digital health's full potential requires multidisciplinary research on healthcare systems, informational demands, and digital technology.

“…Previous research has tested various digitized solutions (Tait, 2015;Synnot et al, 2016;Nugent et al, 2016) using consent systems. As well, previous efforts have been made both to suggest and attempt to implement blockchain solutions for implied consent (Choudhury et al, 2018;Omar et al, 2019;Osipenko, 2019). However, there is currently no available a scalable technical solution that addresses the major challenges of WIC.…”

“…Recently, researchers have started to focus on using blockchain methodology for building a cryptographic proof of medical systems [ 10 ]. They have applied blockchain technology in various health care systems, with potential applications in supply chain management of health care products [ 11 - 13 ], insurance claims processing [ 14 ], management of electronic health records and electronic medical records [ 15 - 18 ], maintenance of protocols in clinical trials [ 19 - 21 ], and data management in clinical trials [ 22 - 25 ]. Although there can be many applications of blockchain technology, it is necessary that blockchain be an appropriate technical solution to a particular problem.…”

Background The integrity of data in a clinical trial is essential, but the current data management process is too complex and highly labor-intensive. As a result, clinical trials are prone to consuming a lot of budget and time, and there is a risk for human-induced error and data falsification. Blockchain technology has the potential to address some of these challenges. Objective The aim of the study was to validate a system that enables the security of medical data in a clinical trial using blockchain technology. Methods We have developed a blockchain-based data management system for clinical trials and tested the system through a clinical trial for breast cancer. The project was conducted to demonstrate clinical data management using blockchain technology under the regulatory sandbox enabled by the Japanese Cabinet Office. Results We verified and validated the data in the clinical trial using the validation protocol and tested its resilience to data tampering. The robustness of the system was also proven by survival with zero downtime for clinical data registration during a Amazon Web Services disruption event in the Tokyo region on August 23, 2019. Conclusions We show that our system can improve clinical trial data management, enhance trust in the clinical research process, and ease regulator burden. The system will contribute to the sustainability of health care services through the optimization of cost for clinical trials.
