Call for Editorials & Op-Eds
Blockchain adoption is maturing.
AI systems are scaling across care delivery and life sciences.
Decentralized models are moving from pilot to
production.
Across the United States, evolving digital health oversight — from FDA AI/ML guidance to shifting CMS reimbursement frameworks — is reshaping how emerging technologies are evaluated, funded, and deployed. In the European Union, implementation of the AI Act, Data Governance Act, and European Health Data Space is redefining compliance, cross border data flows, and digital
sovereignty expectations.
The result has been regulatory turbulence, governance fragmentation, and strategic uncertainty. Meanwhile, many of the most experienced leaders navigating these shifts are not publishing their perspectives.
Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY) invites bold, well reasoned editorials and op-eds addressing the
governance, regulatory, economic, and implementation questions shaping the next phase of digital health and life sciences.
Articles are indexed and receive a DOI, becoming part of the permanent scholarly and policy record.
