    Block chain technology – good, bad, or somewhere in between?

    Block chain technology is taking the world by storm. From banking to health care, many tout block chain as a cure-all. Others think block chain will make matters worse. In between are those who see practical applications but caution on addictive use. In this presentation, I will provide an overview of block chain: technology and associated digital currencies; practical applications, particularly in the health and life sciences; and issues associated with the technology and its open source methods. Attendees will gain an understanding of block chain and the debate over its use.
