Here's How Blockchain, Sports And Science Are Disrupting The Healthcare Game

The massive fervor around blockchain technology has quelled a bit due to a number of challenges facing the emerging industry ranging from speed and cost to interoperability and perception. The fact that many, more vocal blockchain devotees are working a bit more quietly through such issues now gives the chance for others to start to come to surface. Many innovators are finding new ways to apply blockchain technology and in a manner beyond solely that of the financial and advertising realms, for example. In fact when coupled with a philanthropic intent, blockchain seems now poised to reach even greater heights because the work is fused with true social benefit. Indeed a GIOSTAR Labs, a company which is focused on stem cell-based technologies and is a subsidiary of a company called Giostar, recently joined forces with the Association of Professional Ball Players of America (APBPA) to launch what the company is calling the non-profit Stem Cells For All initiative. The intent is to provide, for the first time ever, stem cell treatment to athletes, families, fans at deep discounts, and GIOSTAR will will be one of the first to apply blockchain in a new way to ensure successful outcome.
