Increasing Need to Prevent Data Tampering Driving the Adoption of Blockchain Technology in the Healthcare Sector

The growing popularity of cryptocurrency and the need to prevent data tampering in the healthcare sector are key factors increasing the adoption of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have gained traction in recent years, showcasing the potential of decentralized digital currencies that rely on blockchain technology for secure and transparent transactions. Data integrity and security are of paramount importance in the healthcare sector. Medical records, clinical trial data, and patient information must be protected from unauthorized access, tampering, or alteration. With blockchain technology, healthcare organizations can securely store and share patient records, ensuring the security and integrity of sensitive information. The distributed nature of blockchain technology eliminates the reliance on a single centralized authority, reducing the risk of data manipulation or tampering. The players in this market are focused on launching new offerings for healthcare applications. For instance, in October 2020, IBM Watson Health (U.S.) launched a blockchain-powered digital health pass. This digital health initiative was aimed at allowing users to share their verified health status without exposing the data used to generate it.

Wikipedia and Reddit Now Drive Over 25% of ChatGPT Citations in the U.S., New 5W Research Finds — WSJ, NYT, and Bloomberg Do Not Appear in the Top 20

Published

28 minutes ago

on

May 11, 2026

By

The 5W Citation Source Audit Q1 2026 synthesizes nine independent datasets covering hundreds of millions of citations and prompts. The data confirms a structural break between the traditional PR tier system and how ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews actually assemble answers.

MIAMI, May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 5W, the AI Communications Firm, today released The 5W Citation Source Audit – Q1 2026, a synthesis of nine independent research datasets — from Similarweb, SEMrush, Profound, Peec AI, SE Ranking, Goodie, Ahrefs, Evertune, and Passionfruit — quantifying which sources the major AI engines actually cite. The full report is available at 5wpr.com/research/citation-source-audit-q1-2026.

The headline data:

Wikipedia (13.15%) and Reddit (11.97%) together account for more than 25% of all ChatGPT citations in the U.S. (Similarweb, Jan–Feb 2026, ~600,000 citation events).The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Bloomberg, and the Financial Times do not appear in the top 20. Forbes is the only U.S. business publication on the list — ranked #18 at 1.38%.Reuters (#7, 2.27%) outranks Forbes. Forbes outranks every other Tier 1 outlet.YouTube correlates at 0.737 with AI visibility — the strongest single predictor in any 2025–2026 study (Ahrefs, 75,000-brand analysis, December 2025).LinkedIn moved from #11 to #5 on ChatGPT in three months — the largest rank shift Profound observed all year. LinkedIn is now cited in 14.3% of ChatGPT Search responses (SEMrush, 325,000 prompts).Reddit’s ChatGPT citation share collapsed from ~60% to ~10% of prompt responses in two weeks in September 2025 (SEMrush, 230,000-prompt 13-week tracking study). Annual AI audits are obsolete.Fandom leads Google AI Mode at 7.16% — ahead of Wikipedia. Structure plus depth beats brand authority.Brands listed across G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, and Yelp see a ~3x citation multiplier versus brands without those profiles.

“The PR tier hierarchy no longer reflects how influence works,” said Ronn Torossian, founder of 5W. “AI engines don’t rank authority — they assemble answers. They pull from Wikipedia, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, and review platforms, and they ignore most of what the industry has spent forty years optimizing toward. The brands that win the next decade will be the ones whose names appear, consistently, in the structured surfaces the models actually retrieve from. That is the entire game now — and the data in this report is the operating manual.”

The Five Core Findings

Wikipedia + Reddit = Structural Dominance. Over 25% of ChatGPT citations in the U.S. Together they exceed every traditional media category combined.The PR Tier System Is Misaligned with AI Reality. Reuters outranks Forbes. Forbes outranks the rest. WSJ, NYT, Bloomberg, and FT often don’t appear at all.AI Citations Are Long-Tail, Not Winner-Take-All. Outside Wikipedia and Reddit, no domain exceeds 3% of ChatGPT citations. Distribution across many sources outperforms concentration in a few.Platforms Are Volatile. Reddit’s ChatGPT share dropped from ~60% to ~10% in two weeks in September 2025. Static strategies fail. Quarterly is the floor.Each AI Engine Is Different. Reddit leads everywhere. Fandom leads Google AI Mode. Perplexity skews to LinkedIn, NIH, and G2. Gemini converts traditional SEO. There is no single “AI SEO.”

Methodology

The Q1 2026 edition is a synthesis report. 5W integrated nine separately published studies covering January 2025 through April 2026 — including Similarweb’s ~600,000-citation dataset, Peec AI’s 30-million-source analysis, SEMrush’s 13-week cross-platform tracking, Profound’s six-model tracking, Evertune’s 200-million-prompt analysis, and Ahrefs’ 75,000-brand correlation study.

The Q2 2026 edition will layer 5W’s own primary research on top of this baseline — 1,500 fixed prompts (600 branded, 600 category, 300 executive) run across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Mode in a single calendar week, with every citation classified against a 12-bucket taxonomy and the full dataset published for public replication.

RS2 Healthcare Partners also completed a single-asset continuation vehicle (the “Continuation Vehicle”) for Loftware, Inc. (“Loftware” or the “Company”), a leading global enterprise labeling and artwork management provider of cloud-based software solutions. The transaction highlights the Firm’s healthcare expertise, as evidenced by Loftware’s life sciences vertical growing from a nascent business into Loftware’s largest and fastest-growing end-market and a key area for future growth. Accel-KKR’s (“AKKR”) dedicated secondary fund, AKKR Strategic Capital, served as lead investor of the Continuation Vehicle. The Continuation Vehicle provides Loftware with dedicated capital to support future growth. The transaction also provides RS2 Healthcare Partners with additional committed funding to pursue new platform investments.

RS2 Healthcare Partners originally acquired Loftware in 2014. Over the course of the investment, the Firm has supported the Company’s transformation from a US-focused labeling provider into the leading independent global platform offering mission-critical software and applications enabling its customers to design, deliver and trace labels across complex supply chains with significant regulatory and compliance requirements. During this period, Loftware completed four strategic add-on acquisitions that expanded its products and capabilities to establish an end-to-end, highly-integrated solution serving global supply chains. Loftware generates approximately $125 million in revenue and serves more than 10,000 customers across over 100 countries.

AKKR has been an investor in Loftware since March 2023, when the Firm sold a partial stake in the Company to AKKR. The Continuation Vehicle deepens this existing partnership and delivers meaningful benefits to all stakeholders. The transaction offered existing limited partners the options to maintain their existing investments or to receive liquidity or roll over their interests into the Continuation Vehicle with new unfunded capital commitments to support the Company’s growth plans.

Atlantic-Pacific Capital, Inc. served as exclusive financial advisor and placement agent, and Choate Hall & Stewart LLP served as legal counsel to RS2 Healthcare Partners.

EnformionGO has launched Lead Builder, a new on-demand solution that enables lead brokers and marketers to quickly build, price, and download highly targeted lead audiences in real time. Designed to eliminate reliance on fragmented vendors and outdated data sources, Lead Builder allows users to define audiences using a wide range of demographic, behavioral, property, and professional signals, with instant visibility into volume and pricing. The product gives teams greater control and speed in sourcing high-quality leads—helping brokers stabilize inventory and marketers create fresh, precise audiences for campaign execution. Powered by the EnformionGO platform and its unified identity intelligence, Lead Builder reflects a broader shift toward flexible, self-service lead generation and faster decision-making.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EnformionGO, an Enformion brand, today announced the launch of EnformionGO Lead Builder, a new product designed to help businesses build, price, and download targeted lead audiences on demand.

“We built Lead Builder to remove friction from how teams access and use data,” said Jordan Manavian, VP of Product for EnformionGO. “With instant visibility into audience size and the ability to activate in real time, teams can move faster, whether they’re generating or fulfilling demand.”

The release addresses a common challenge across the lead generation ecosystem: sourcing high-quality leads quickly without relying on fragmented vendors, outdated data, or slow manual processes.

With Lead Builder, users can define a target audience using a combination of demographic, behavioral, property, and professional signals, instantly preview available volume and pricing, and download leads instantly—all from the EnformionGO platform.

“With EnformionGO Lead Builder, we’re giving customers a faster, more direct way to access the audiences they need,” said Chris Lundquist, CEO of Enformion. “Instead of waiting on suppliers or working through rigid purchasing models, teams can now generate and act on opportunities in real time.”

The product is designed to support both lead brokers and marketing teams, who often face similar constraints from different angles.

For brokers, Lead Builder enables on-demand creation of lead inventory, helping stabilize supply and reduce dependence on multiple external vendors. For marketers, it offers a way to move beyond static or overused datasets by quickly building new audiences for testing, targeting, and campaign execution.

“We built Lead Builder to remove friction from how teams access and use data,” said Jordan Manavian, VP of Product for EnformionGO. “Whether you’re fulfilling demand or trying to generate it, having immediate visibility into audience size and the ability to activate instantly changes how quickly you can move.”

The solution is powered by the EnformionGO platform, which brings together multiple data signals, including consumer, geographic, behavioral, property, and business intelligence into a single, unified experience, enabling users to build more precise, actionable audiences in real time.

The launch reflects a growing shift toward more flexible, on-demand approaches to lead generation, as businesses look to move faster and operate with greater control over lead audiences and performance.

EnformionGO Lead Builder is now available as part of the EnformionGO platform.
