Medibloc: private, safe, and valuable health records

Context of current health records:

The way in which the health system functions, in terms of patients' medical records, is an impractical process in many situations. During emergencies, for example, time is of the essence for victims; however, there have been cases of private health centers verifying the data of each patient to be treated for consulting his availability of medical insurange, which delays the emergency care and puts people's lives at risk. This situation occurs mainly in underdeveloped countries that do not have the technological systems sufficiently advanced to manage information efficiently. Fortunately, technology is advancing at an accelerated pace, reaching remote locations to change people's lives, and within health centers, technology can further improve life chances indirectly by improving the functioning of individual patient records and the health care system as a whole.

Commonly each person has a series of specific doctors, who know all their medical history and accordingly implement the appropriate treatments for each person. This method has been quite efficient over the years, however, there situations that put people's lives at risk are increasingly materializing. Occurs accidents of all kinds in which the person left unconscious and his or her medical condition is not known and therefore their reaction to a certain medical treatment is unknown. This misinformation further delays emergency care, and presents a challenge to doctors in dealing with people who are completely unaware of their condition.

MediBloc Solution:

In the midst of this scenario, technology helps us once again receive a better quality of life. Through the use of blockchain technology, MediBloc has developed a platform that allows all the relevant medical records of each patient, doctor, nurse, and person related to the world of health to be recorded in the blockchain, thus establishing a private, flexible and extremely useful database, and with different levels of security. In the case of patients, they can share their medical history through MediBlocwith any doctor they wish, so that they can receive practical, personalized care and treatment for their specific condition. A security profile, such as an emergency doctor, can also be accessed by default. This would be useful in the event of an undesirable accident, so that the doctors in charge can access our medical history, evaluate our condition and perform the appropriate procedures without fear of causing an allergic reaction to the wrong medication.

Registering medical records on the blockchain give way to many other innovations beyond knowing the medical history of each patient. A practical example would be the results of the medical tests, usually when we visit different doctors we are asked for the same medical tests, in this case, and thanks to MediBloc, we can access more than one doctor with the same medical results, all this thanks to the registration made in the blockchain. This way we save money on exams, and can get different consultations on any medical concerns.

MediBlocwill have an economy based on its MED tokens, and an optional market for medical records. Pharmacists and scientists will be interested in people's medical statistics, and through MediBlocthey will be able to tokenize each patient who decides to provide their records, thus creating a balance of rewards between contributors and developers, and ultimately all of us will benefit from better medicines, better treatments, and better health.
