Cross-disciplinary learnings from agricultural technologies for healthcare data management

Agriculture is a data-rich industry and one of mankind’s earliest commercial pursuits. Commercial agriculture utilizes modern technology innovations, terminology, and business concepts. Like successful businesses in any other sector, commercial agriculture businesses also need to be responsive to their stakeholders and stay at the cutting-edge of their field—and related fields. It is logical that best practices from one data-rich business sector can be learned from and easily applied to other data-rich business sectors to improve the bottom line. Healthcare data management has always been a data-driven and data-rich industry with urgency to analyze data and convert the data into knowledge for healthcare-related decisions. The need for accurate, secure, and efficient healthcare data management has been amplified by the pandemic. Commercial agriculture firms had also sped up the large-scale adoption of blockchain and digital ledger technology in their everyday operations during leap years.
