Hi Stefan, Sorry about my poor knowledge. I didn't find any special requirements for the healthcare blockchain. It should be no more than a blockchain for ALTO.
By the way, there may be a trivial issue I am not sure about: does alto help defending weakness of blockchain? Avoiding the creation of clusters in sec 3.3 may help to avoid Sybil attack.
