Blockchains are tamper-evident and tamper-resistant digital ledgers. Due to their distributed and shared nature, and their cryptographic functions, blockchains are resilient to alterations. They provide a trustworthy environment for the data stored in the ledgers. However, each new technology brings its own challenges along with the opportunities. Our minds are still busy with the question of “how could blockchain technology potentially benefit us?” In this paper, we approach to this question from the health domain perspective. Based on a systematic literature review, we discuss to what extent blockchain could provide solutions for the challenges inherited in the health domain and if blockchain technology introduces new challenges for development of health applications. The review included 27 publications which share experiences of practitioners from 2016 to 2020.

Implications of Blockchain Technology in the Health Domain Baysal, Merve Vildan; Özcan Top, Özden; Betin Can, Aysu (2021-09-09) Blockchains are tamper-evident and tamper-resistant digital ledgers. Due to their distributed and shared nature, and their cryptographic functions, blockchains are resilient to alterations. They provide a trustworthy environment for the data stored in the ledgers.

Topology-Aware Cooperative Data Protection in Blockchain-Based Decentralized Storage Networks Yang, Siyi; Hareedy, Ahmed; Calderbank, Robert; Dolecek, Lara (2020-06-01) The continuous rise of the blockchain technology is moving various information systems towards decentralization. Blockchain-based decentralized storage networks (DSNs) offer significantly higher privacy and lower costs to customers compared with centralized cloud storage associated with specific vendors. Coding is required to retrieve data stored on failing components. While coding solutions for centralized storage have been intensely studied, those for DSNs have not yet been discussed. In this paper, we pr...
Analysing Opportunities and Challenges of Integrated Blockchain Technologies in Healthcare Gökalp, Ebru; Gökalp, Mert Onuralp; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2018-09-20) Blockchain is a disruptive technology with the potential to have a significant impact on business models and industries, similar to the adoption of Internet. Blockchain promotes distributed, open, inclusive, immutable, and secure architectural approaches, instead of centralized, hidden, exclusive, and alterable alternatives. The adoption of blockchain in the healthcare domain offers promising solutions for securing communications among stakeholders, efficient delivery of clinical reports, and integrating va...
BITCOIN PRICE FORECASTING UNDER THE INFLUENCES OF NETWORK METRICS AND OTHER FINANCIAL ASSETS Daş, İsmail; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Yılmaz, Bilgi; Department of Financial Mathematics (2022-12-02) In 2008, the whitepaper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" introduced an original design of a decentralized digital currency. The innovations, described by the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, have led to the evolution of cryptocurrencies and have attracted significant attention from the media and investors. The price of bitcoin has captured the interest, and the dynamics of bitcoin have become a popular topic in academia. This the- sis examines the dynamics of bitcoin prices with several ne...
EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY AND FIRM-SPECIFIC FEATURES ON THE RATES OF RETURNS OF THE MANUFACTURING FIRMS LISTED IN BORSA İSTANBUL: A CAPM APPROACH Aslan, Mustafa; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Financial Mathematics (2021-8-04) This study examines the effects of the exchange rate volatility and the firm-specific features representing the liquidity, profitability, and leverage performance of firms on excess stock returns for the manufacturing firms listed in Borsa İstanbul (BIST) using dynamic panel data model. The exchange rate volatility is modeled by single regime generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models and Markov-switching GARCH (MSGARCH) models. The MSGARCH models show evidence that the evoluti...
