Summary: "Blockchain is an emerging and disruptive technology that leads to knowledge-based economy transformation and business innovation. Due to the explosive growth of digital assets especially the cryptocurrency, non-frangible tokens (NFT), etc., and the recent rapid development of the Metaverse and Web3.0 economics, decentralized applications (DApps), decentralized finance (DeFi) and related commercial activities have attracted much attention in the digital era. Despite blockchain nowadays being an emerging technology that is mainly applied in the financial and logistics domain areas, it has great potential to be applied in other industries to generate a wider impact. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing globally, blockchain has great opportunities to be adopted especially in digital health including health insurance, pharmaceutical supply chain, remote diagnosis, etc. As such, this book is intended to explore the current applications and future opportunities of blockchain technology in digital health. The book is valuable not only to the scholars, engineers and programmers who are developing related domain applications, but also essential to the medical practitioners who are interested to adopt the latest key technology in digital health in the future"--
