Welcome to Bitcoins and Gravy Episode #92. On today’s show I am privileged to be speaking with Stuart Lackey a graduate student completing his Master’s Degree in Healthcare Informatics at Lipscomb University right here in Nashville, Tennessee. Stuart and I have a great conversation about his program and how he envisions the future of healthcare as we move into the age of blockchain tech. In the second half of the show we talk about cryptocurrencies and the changes we see coming in not too distant future. Stuart Lackey Currently completing - Master's degree in Health Care Informatics at Lipscomb (MHCI) Program Description: Curriculum is designed to enhance the understanding of the relationship between people, health, information technology and the broader health care system.
