US Patent & Trademark Office approves Walmart’s blockchain health patent

Mega US chain Walmart has recently revealed that it has won its blockchain patent for use within the use of storing medical records, which it submitted in December last year.

With the use of health wearables, a biometric scanner and radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, health information will be able to be seamlessly shared with medical professionals, providing up-to-date, accurate information, particularly for those with long-term health conditions or those who take more than one prescription.
