| Summary: | Digital Healthcare, as an emerging industry, holds great promise in revolutionizing the way Healthcare is delivered and managed. Conversely, digital Healthcare faces numerous challenges, including data security, privacy, regulatory, reliability, transparency and efficiency. The adoption of blockchain technology offers potential solutions to these challenges. However, existing models for blockchain adoption are hindered by a limited holistic view, failing to integrate both business and end-user perspectives along with the critical consideration of various factors influencing both stakeholders. To fill this gap, this study proposes a multi-perspective model for the adoption of blockchain in digital healthcare that jointly considers the business aspect and the end user aspect. After identification from literature, factors are selected based on a comprehensive survey of 15 healthcare experts by using the fuzzy Delphi approach for handling the uncertainty in the expert opinions. The analysis reveals that the most significant factors affecting blockchain adoption are Top Management Support (0.830) and Regulation Compliance (0.830). ?
