Secure data management, individual healthcare, experts network and token rewards: we are happy to present BlockHealth.
BlockHealth is a health platform that complements the health system and is based on blockchain technology.
BlockHealth is dedicated to decisive development and care problems of today’s health systems, such as the unmanageable and sometimes poorly documented amount of health data, the constantly increasing lack of time of doctors due to overwork and too little support from the health system, as well as the continuously growing social diseases, which are also attributable to a lack of personal responsibility and know-how. Although the possibilities of medicine and medical technology are more highly developed than ever before, we have been experiencing a highly problematic trend in public health for decades — both nationally and internationally.
The primary goal of BlockHealth is the long-term relief of the health system while simultaneously increasing efficiency as well as a manageable, user-friendly health management for people worldwide — with access to a verified network consisting of representatives of the health sector, personal medical records and various assistance for own health promotion. Furthermore, BlockHealth enables research into solutions based on profound epidemiological insights. Great attention is paid to individuality, body and self-confidence.
Problems and Solutions
Data insecurity and inefficient data transfer
Findings and medical records are usually stored inaccessibly and unmanageably for patients in various health facilities. However, there is hardly any exchange of health data between these health facilities, which causes two problems in particular:
- 1. a reduced quality of treatment, since the respective physician is denied diagnosis and therapy relevant data
- 2. the incurrence of considerable additional costs, as this unnecessarily means that tests have to be carried out several times.
In addition, data theft and data manipulation are constantly increasing due to the use of outdated and insecure technology — in times of digitalization in the health sector, this causes additional problems.
BlockHealth solves this problem with a decentralized data management system using blockchain technology, giving the patient full access and control over his own data. Individual instances of the health sector — a verified “network of experts” — such as a lung specialist, health masseur or the patient’s own family doctor, can be granted read authorizations for the respective data by the patient or BlockHealth user. For example, the physician receives comprehensive data on the basis of which a more precise diagnosis and treatment strategy than before is made possible.
The BlockHealth team brings medical expertise as well as the necessary technical and legal expertise to perfect the way medical data can be used and managed. And the user always has the upper hand! BlockHealth will never analyze or relay that data without the clear consent of users.
Rapid increase in morbidity due to lifestyle-related diseases
Civilization diseases have multiplied in the last three decades. So far, healthcare has not taken sufficient steps to meet this drastic rate of increase and the new challenges in a sustainable manner.
The environment that is the main cause of illnesses, such as our own lifestyle, which is usually not very health-conscious, and inadequate health care and promotion are hardly mentioned in our health system. The lack of well thought-out initiatives on the part of health care reflects reduced personal responsibility for one's own health.
BlockHealth also offers solutions for these global social problems:
Using artificial intelligence, uploaded findings, health-specific data and documents are to be analyzed and used as a basis for individualized and health-promoting modules.
For example, the user is suggested the contact to the required specialist or complementary medical representatives of the health sector, individual strategies for lifestyle adaptation with regard to nutrition and exercise are surveyed and attention is drawn to drugs that can trigger interactions with one another.
BlockHealth thus creates a completely new approach for providing easily accessible and long-needed prevention methods with little effort.
New opportunities for public health care
The classic care process for the four phases “Prevention”, “Diagnosis”, “Therapy” and “Aftercare” make it clear that BlockHealth represents an increase in efficiency and a supplement to the conventional health sector in every phase.
BlockHealth spans the spectrum from the management of all health-relevant data to the optimization of personal lifestyles and thus provides significant support in closing gaps in the health system.
“We live in a time of change. Advances in technology are faster and possibilities grow exponentially. It’s a change we can use to make the world a better place.”
