System and method to share and utilize healthcare data

Abstract:

A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for sharing and utilizing healthcare data, by: providing one or more computer-implemented machine learning models for analyzing the healthcare data; and recording transactions involving the machine learning models using a blockchain as a distributed ledger that is shared, replicated and synchronized. Healthcare data is also used to train the machine learning models. The healthcare data comprises research data or patient data such as Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). A smart contract that is a computer-implemented protocol is used to facilitate, verify or enforce negotiation of the transactions involving the machine learning models or healthcare data.
