Similar to the internet, blockchain technology could be the next digital revolution. Blockchains offer tremendous potential, which is why numerous businesses have begun implementing this technology. With the internet enabling the transmission of information, blockchain enables the communication of value. Blockchain is not only associated with cryptocurrencies; thanks to this technology, businesses may increase brand value. As blockchain is a developing technology, there are still numerous possible applications. This has prompted us to investigate the viability of implementing blockchain in the marketing industry. This study examines the application of blockchain technology in the digital marketing industry. This study employs a qualitative approach and descriptive methodologies. The survey results indicate that blockchain is very effective in digital marketing since it may increase consumer trust. This is because blockchain technology guarantees the honesty and integrity of data. In addition, blockchain technology eliminates intermediaries, making the marketing process more straightforward, cheaper, faster, and more accessible.

Blockchain, an immutable ledger or database shared by peers in a network, is comprised of records of events or transactions that are appended chronologically. Introduced via Bitcoin to the world, blockchain is increasingly being accepted and adopted in different industries and for diverse use cases. Among key industries, health care offers several significant opportunities for applying blockchain conceptualization. Chief areas for health care blockchain applications include electronic medical records management, pharmaceutical supply chain management, biomedical research and education, remote patient monitoring, health insurance claim processing, and health data analytics. Even so, applying blockchain concepts in health care is not without challenges, including interoperability, security-privacy, scalability-speed, and stakeholders' engagement issues. While these challenges may militate against blockchain applications in health care, there are possible countermeasures and implementation techniques, which if adhered to, can reasonably contain many aspects of such challenges.
