- Smart contracts and legal automation in healthcare delivery
- Digital Twins in Healthcare: Design, deployment, and ethical implications
- Privacy-by-design and cybersecurity frameworks for health systems
- Federated learning and secure multiparty computation in medical AI
- Legal tech, explainable AI (XAI), and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, EU AI Act)
- Governance models for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) in healthcare
- Tokenomics, incentives, and ethical AI use in health data ecosystems
- Case studies: AI+Blockchain applications in hospitals, insurance, pharma, or public health
