Besides love, money and health are the most valuable human yearnings. Therefore, blockchain technology is paramount: a new foundation of confidence for human valuable transactions. Like information sharing was catalyzed on the pre-blockchain internet, transactions are now triggered on the new internet of value. In this second digital inflection point, economic media encompasses value beside information, and individuals can privately transact digital assets for the first time in history. Decentralized but structured organizations running on blockchain networks reduce transaction costs and are particularly competitive insofar as they guarantee data authenticity, confidentiality, and integrity, providing functional autonomy with disintermediation and smart contracts. Everything changed after user data were made public on the internet and privately traded by big tech companies, and nothing will be the same once that data is made private on the internet and publicly transacted by their rightful owners. While the internet of information reshaped the world, the internet of value will reform it, and everything will depend politically on this being done freely. Political and Economic Implications of Blockchain Technology in Business and Healthcare provides relevant theoretical frameworks on the civilizational impact of blockchain technology, which redesigns human interactions concerning value transactions. It gives ideas, concepts, and instruments to advance the knowledge on cryptoeconomics and decentralized governance in the new distributed trust paradigm. The chapters explore the ethical repercussions and profound political-economic consequences to society, providing insights into business applications focusing on the healthcare sector. In a blockchain era affected by the post-COVID-19 new normal, which mixes politics, economics, and health, this book is essential for students and researchers in social and life sciences; professionals and policymakers working in the fields of public and business administration; and healthcare workers and researchers, academicians, and students interested in blockchain technology and its political and economic impacts in the industry and society.

Traditional patient care and treatment approaches often lack the personalized and interactive elements necessary for effective healthcare delivery. This means that the healthcare industry must find innovative solutions to improve patient outcomes, enhance rehabilitation processes, and optimize resource utilization. There is a gap between the traditional approach and the need for innovation that highlights the importance of a comprehensive understanding of emerging technologies, including Kinect Sensor technology, and the potential to transform healthcare practices with this tech. Revolutionizing Healthcare Treatment With Sensor Technology addresses this critical need by thoroughly exploring how Kinect Sensor technology can revolutionize patient care and treatment methodologies. By repurposing and customizing Kinect Sensor for healthcare applications, this book showcases how depth-sensing cameras, infrared sensors, and advanced motion tracking can capture and interpret real-time patient movements and interactions. This book is ideal for healthcare professionals, hospital administrators, researchers, patients, caregivers, and healthcare technology developers seeking to leverage Kinect Sensor technology for enhanced healthcare delivery. Through detailed case studies and practical examples, experts can learn how to integrate Kinect Sensor into various medical settings to gain valuable insights into patients' physical capabilities, monitor their progress, and create personalized treatment plans.

During the COVID-19 era, the functions of social policy and public administration have undergone a meaningful change, especially with the advancement of digital elements and online and virtual functions. Cyber developments, cyber threats, and the effects of cyberwar on the public administrations of countries have become critical research subjects, and it is important to have resources that can introduce and guide users through the current best practices, laboratory methods, policies, protocols, and more within cyber public administration and social policy. The Handbook of Research on Cyber Approaches to Public Administration and Social Policy focuses on the post-pandemic changes in the functions of social policy and public administration. It also examines the implications of the cyber cosmos on public and social policies and practices from a broad perspective. Covering topics such as intersectional racism, cloud computing applications, and public policies, this major reference work is an essential resource for scientists, laboratory technicians, professionals, technologists, computer scientists, policymakers, students, educators, researchers, and academicians.

Bioeconomy is an essential natural capital for life, citizen well-being, and societal prosperity. After decades of intense damaging use, pollution, and hydrological stress, Europe's ecosystems are acutely threatened with serious degradation. This situation not only means acute economic loss, but also entails catastrophic ecological, social, and cultural damage. Handbook of Research on Bioeconomy and Economic Ecosystems is a critical resource that explores the conservation of ecosystems and their biodiversity and discusses potential new challenges in terms of the economic, social, and environmental path for Europe and other regions of the world. Featuring research on topics such as bioeconomy, circular economy, and economic and social analysis, this book is ideally designed for city authorities, experts, officers, business representatives, economists, politicians, academicians, and researchers.

Post COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have been evaluating the healthcare system for improvements that can be made. Understanding global healthcare systems’ operations is essential to preventative measures to be taken for the next global health crisis. A key part to bettering healthcare is the implementation of information management and One Health. The Handbook of Research on Essential Information Approaches to Aiding Global Health in the One Health Context evaluates the concepts in global health and the application of essential information management in healthcare organizational strategic contexts. This text promotes understanding in how evaluation health and information management are decisive for health planning, management, and implementation of the One Health concept. Covering topics like development partnerships, global health, and the nature of pandemics, this text is essential for health administrators, policymakers, government officials, public health officials, information systems experts, data scientists, analysts, health information science and global health scholars, researchers, practitioners, doctors, students, and academicians.
