In China, blockchain technology has great value in the medical industry and influences its future development trend in the medical industry. This study explores the impact of blockchain on the healthcare industry and how consumer attitudes toward using blockchain affect its future development. This paper further develops the impact of blockchain on the pharmaceutical industry, using COVID-19 as an example to illustrate the highly developed and advanced application of blockchain technology in the healthcare industry. Validated factor analysis and Statistical Product and Service Solutions structural equation modeling was performed using by Wen Juan Xin. This study concludes that the recognition and acceptance of blockchain technology applications in the healthcare industry are clarified and reveal various problems in the current applications. Therefore, decision-makers in healthcare industry organizations or sectors need to carry out reforms related to blockchain applications, especially privacy protection and information security enhancement, to provide reference and higher and more stringent requirements among blockchain applications.
