We are glad to welcome Reed Sutton to our Advisory Team!
Reed will support our expansion to Canada. He is a researcher and clinical assistant at the University of Alberta Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry (Edmonton, Canada). Fascinated by healthcare and information technology, Reed is pursuing an MSc in Health Informatics. He has become increasingly involved and invested in blockchain technology and cryptocurrency. Recent experience includes analyzing, reviewing, and recommending Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) for CryptoRated.com. He is also validating a new ICO scoring system for ability to predict investment success.
How does Reed see the present and the future of blockchain and why did he willingly agree to join the Dentacoin Advisory Team, read below.
What is your vision about the Blockchain Technology?
Reed: Although the time frame is uncertain, I truly see the Blockchain infiltrating every aspect of our daily lives one day. I love the cliché comparison of blockchain to the internet, in the way it allows people to become directly (no middle man) connected. The internet was also underestimated when it came about, with people thinking it wouldn’t be used beyond military functions, and many predicting it would collapse (sounds familiar?). I definitely see the blockchain having use in healthcare with electronic health records (EHR). My work currently revolves around designing clinical decision support (CDS) into our regional EHR, and I’ve seen firsthand the interoperability and security issues that plague EHRs and limit their communicability with each other.
Why did you decide to support Dentacoin as an Advisor?
Reed: I was thrilled when I was approached to collaborate with Dentacoin. I am happy to get involved in blockchain projects in any way I can and especially excited about the possibilities for blockchain applications in healthcare. Presently working in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, having some requisite knowledge, and being part of large care networks, I felt that Dentacoin was a project I would be able to add value to, as they embark on international development.
