Blockchain and Augmented Technologies for Personalized Healthcare: Fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals in Healthcare

The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 targets for healthy lives and well-being for all   (SDG, 2015). In contemporary, this ambition is impossible without an effective digital healthcare ecosystem. But unfortunately, the existing digital healthcare infrastructure is incapable of meeting the ongoing and future health data needs (Svensson, 2019). It urges for immediate actions to achieve the required efficiency. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has already shown us the power of emerging technologies in trace, track, support, and care delivery. It has helped us to realize the need for predictive analytics in digital healthcare. This necessity fully aligns with an important target of SDG 3; a predictive universal digital healthcare ecosystem with the features of notifying early warnings, supporting in risk reduction, and managing national and global health risks (Good Health and Well-Being, 2015).
