Last week’s Health:Further healthcare conference in Nashville was a great success and the Solaster team is happy to have sponsored the Tokenizing Health Summit. With over 1,500 attendees, the Health:Further conference brought together a diverse and enthusiastic group of leaders and innovators to meet, learn and advance the future of healthcare.

The Tokenizing Health Kick-off Party was hosted by the Bad Crypto Podcast team and sponsored by Solaster, GoChain and Frost, Brown and Todd. It was a great evening of fun and networking (and cocktails) among fellow blockchain health innovators and fans.

Bright and early the next morning, the Solaster team was back at the conference, prepping for an exciting day at the Tokenizing Health Summit — which was full of engaging sessions and panels, all focused on the far-reaching implications of blockchain technology and the decentralization of healthcare.

Stuart Lackey, Solaster CEO, sat on a panel with Travis Reeder, Chief Software Architect at GoChain and Eiland Glover, Co-Founder/CEO of Kowala and moderated by Mercina Tilleman-Dick, COO of the Global Blockchain Business Council, where they discussed the challenges of achieving true decentralization.

“Solaster was honored to sponsor the 1st annual Tokenizing Health Summit,” said Stuart Lackey, CEO Solaster. “The entire day was squarely devoted to the decentralization of healthcare via distributed ledger technology and tokenized platforms and applications. The conference featured some amazing projects and was a very strong representation of where the space is today (it’s early), but also showed the significant progress we’ve made as an industry. There are so many great applications in development right now. And the majority of the applications discussed at the conference were focused on fundamentally realigning the current incentive structures in healthcare to be more patient-centric. It’s an enormous opportunity and really the core concept as we push towards more decentralized health care models.”
