Can blockchains be leveraged for healthcare data storage by anonymizing patient data (following HIPAA guidelines), which can then be decrypted and utilized at the appropriate point of use in your opinion?

That way all a patient need is a QR code safeguarding their pub key. Use this key if they need to see a doctor ANYWHERE on the planet and the data is decrypted and readable.

Also do you see blockchain eventually replacing the database industry in the long run?

Yes, blockchains can indeed be leveraged to secure health data storage as decentralization introduces an efficient way of protecting precious medical records! Health data is extremely personal and confidential, so GDPR/HIPAA compliance-based cyptography networks held on with strict permissiions can definitely enhance the security needed for success thus promoting privacy.

Tailoring it such that patient has total control as to who gets access and knowning their Qr code secures them a unique victim (thus regaining further trust into healthcare attendance) , this has various benefits mainly failure resistance due to multiple node hosts across the globe storing copies of your encrypted health info.

Thanks for the awesome question inspiring this arousing response!
