Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast Episode 51

Hosts: Dr. Peter Boulden & Dr. Craig Spodak

Guest: Blake McClellan, CEO and co-founder of Implant Compare 

Key Takeaways:

·        Implant Compare live-streams dental education and surgeries.

·        We’re just now discovering the great many capabilities of blockchain, and how it can be applied to everyday life. 

·        It’s the algorithm behind bitcoin that is the most powerful. 

·        This episode is not investment advice. 

·        Bitcoin is a byproduct of a blockchain. Blockchain is a distributed ledger that is decentralized. Every time a transaction happens it’s added to the block. Essentially, it’s an ecosystem of a network of computers that validate every transaction.

·        Decentralizing this process creates a lot more complexity and provides protection against data attacks. 

·        Blockchains aren’t just currency, every different algorithm has different applications.

·        The other benefit of using blockchain as currency is it keeps everybody honest. 

·        Blockchain is a very fast rapid way to move data in a highly encrypted way. 

·        One major benefit of blockchain in dentistry is potential to develop, fast, highly confidential ways to transfer patient files. Applications could also be built to allow practices to share servers & hardware.

·        Phase 2 of blockchain will be around identity management and logistics. 

·        The technology is still emerging, and we’re seeing big companies entering the development space.
