Abstract(s)

Everything changed after users’ data were made public on the Internet and privately traded by Big Tech companies, and nothing will be the same once such data are made private on the Internet and publicly transacted by their rightful owners. Blockchain Technology (BT) leverages the disruptive capacity of the Internet in what is thought to be an inflection point for humanity. The dawn of the Blockchain Era coincides with a post-Covid-19 new normal that mixes health and economic problems, unleashing an even faster transition to digital society. Knowing that money and health are crucial factors in peoples’ lives and the two greatest human aspirations besideslove, Business and Healthcare are natural choices to envision BT’simpact on society.
