Submission of abstracts are open for the VIRTUAL ONLY Blockchain and Emerging Technologies in Health Scientific Session, at ConV2X 2022.

The Wall Street Journal says “Blockchain may offer solutions to fighting Covid-19” and New York Times states “Industries, looking for efficiency turn to Blockchain.” Is this hype or is there research and evidence to back these claims of the impact of Blockchain (and emerging technologies) in health? If you are a researcher who has asked these questions and are interested in sharing your insights with an international audience, ConV2X is the best avenue for these cutting-edge topics. This year the conference has added a scientific and research track to cover these important issues.

The annual ConV2X Conference is a leading international health tech symposium driving real world evidence, strategy, research, operations and trends to create a blueprint for a new digital health era. The event will have a scientific program of academic/research presentations in addition to business and industry talks. The research track will focus on exploring and sharing developments in blockchain and emerging technologies in health and clinical medicine. Abstracts may be based on original research, conceptual frameworks, proposed applications, position papers, case studies, and real-world implementation. Selection will be based on a peer-review process. Faculty, students, and industry researchers are encouraged to submit abstracts to present their ideas before an informed and knowledgeable audience of industry leaders, policy makers, funders, and researchers.
