Amplifying Platform Approaches That Transform Healthcare
BHTY, the leading international open access peer-reviewed journal, invites original research
and reviews advancing distributed ledger technology, platform systems and architecture, AI integration, and healthcare transformation.
Editors invite high quality original research submissions including but not limited to:
AI & Generative AI Applications: Multi-agentic systems, privacy preserving federated learning, AI powered
clinical decision support, and machine learning on distributed health data.
Privacy, Security & Patient Control: Cryptographic innovations, zero knowledge proofs, secure multiparty computation, consent mechanisms, and data sovereignty solutions that put patients back in control.
Healthcare Information Systems &
Interoperability: Blockchain enabled data sharing, EHR integration, cross platform solutions, decentralized health information networks, and healthcare data standards.
Clinical Applications & Trials Management: Decentralized clinical trials, precision medicine platforms, genomics and "omic" applications, remote patient monitoring, and clinical computing innovations.
Supply Chain & Operations: Pharmaceutical traceability, medical device authentication, counterfeit prevention, cold chain monitoring, hospital asset management, and revenue cycle automation.
Emerging Platform Technologies: Smart contracts, immersive technologies (VR/AR/XR), IoMT integration, tokenomics, Web3 healthcare, DeSci platforms, health DAOs,
digital health assets, and NFT applications in medical credentials and research, reshaping how we think about healthcare delivery and research funding.
Governance, Regulation & Standards: Regulatory frameworks, compliance solutions, healthcare governance models, policy implications, standards development, and international harmonization.
Network Technologies & Clinical Computing: Infrastructure innovations, distributed computing architectures, and the technical foundations enabling healthcare transformation.
What Didn't Work—And Why It Matters: Failed experiments, negative results, reproducibility challenges, and critical analyses of limitations. These lessons are as valuable as
breakthroughs—publish them with No APC.
