Digipharm solutions aim to accelerate the much needed restructuring of healthcare delivery systems to a value-based approach. The inherent flaws of current global healthcare infrastructure result in substantial inefficiency, wastage and sub-optimal health outcomes for the most important stakeholder; the patient. In healthcare today, there is a lack of incentive for health systems and providers to focus on mutually beneficial collaboration and the maximization of patient outcomes.
Digipharm aims to utilize innovative blockchain technology to overcome barriers to patient access and innovative pricing, reduce costs for all stakeholders, and bypass infrastructural limitations to drive value improvement, incentivise innovation and expedite the transformation to personalized healthcare.
Digipharms vision is to be ‘the pioneer of value-based healthcare delivery, innovative evidence generation and patient empowerment across the healthcare industry’ using revolutionary blockchain technology.
Technological considerations
· Potential for further development
· Blockchain technology & smart contract application
· Benefits of using the Ethereum ecosystem
· Benefits of using private blockchain technology
· Compliance and information governance
· Cyber security
In anticipation of the challenges presented by integrating Digipharms’ platforms with existing IT infrastructure within national health systems or large primary care networks, agile API integration studies of such diverse and complex systems will be performed prior to the development of our bespoke integration engine.
Since much of data transferred on Digipharm platforms is likely to be confidential for many platform participants, using permissioned blockchain technology will give members the power to conduct confidential transactions using private channels. For example, this would allow the safeguarding of confidential pricing information between manufacturers and payers (member peer nodes) where subjects can only join such channels subject to approval by all channel members.
Additional services
Private blockchain technology has many benefits to its use when dealing with healthcare and other personal related data. When considering the best architecture to build a secure and scalable solution, private blockchain technology is the best solution for the below reasons:
· Integration support
· Toolkit for payers, providers, manufacturers and private insurers
· Strategic pricing review and strategic advice
· Reimbursement process review and collaboration with payers/providers
· Process review for clinical and industrial clients — automation and digitisation of health services
· Health economic modelling and forecasting
· Advanced data analytics
DPH health economy
The Digipharm platforms will be built to support all stakeholders seamlessly, utilising task automation via smart contracts wherever possible. It will be architected with security, data protection and regulatory compliance at the forefront of the design.
The health economy will involve the following participants:
· Patients
· Payers
· Manufacturers
· Providers
· Digipharm Platforms
Digipharm tokens (DPH)
Digipharm (DPH) tokens will be used to pay license/access fees on Digipharm platforms. Access fees will invariably be determined and stipulated in USD value and the quantity of tokens required will depend on the type of access (manufacturer, patient, payer or provider) required. The quantity of tokens required for such interactions is subject to change, relative to the market value of DPH.
DPH token characteristics are:
· DPH Supply: 100,000,000 Fixed (ERC-20)
· Ticker code: DPH
· Decimal Places: 18
· Token Price 1.00 USD
