Labs

We are constantly trying to improve healthcare through our knowledge of advanced technologies, improvements in workflow and methodologies and understanding of the healthcare financial markets and how to create better outcomes at a lower cost.

Blockchain Solutions

We are and have developed blockchain-based systems to offer trust and operational transparency in healthcare systems. These systems help improve healthcare industry services by enabling healthcare professionals to perform business operations in a reliable, trusted, transparent, auditable, trackable, and secure way. We have several projects focused on the integration of blockchain technology with telehealth and telemedicine systems such as:

Tangle Messaging Concept

Our solution enables a secure patient-provider communication and remote patient monitoring option for next-generation collaboration. We are working with next generation DAG-based distributed ledger technologies to develop secure messaging services to allows patients to gain control over medical records and provide controlled access to trusted health data for specific healthcare providers and care givers. This also includes the ability share data from remote patient monitoring applications and devices. In short, we are providing a secure, auditable, and cost-effective method for patient-provider communication and remote patient monitoring that will ensure confidentiality, lower cost and improve patient outcomes.

Medical Credits Concept

An Ethereum-based system that assists physicians in diagnosing patients using telemedicine services. It is a secure system that protects users from malicious entities by implementing reputation-based systems to incentivize and penalize honest and dishonest behaviors, respectively. Moreover, we have implemented a Token-Curated Registry (TCR) service that enables experts in the network by validating the licenses of physicians to permit only high-quality physicians to join the platform. Two of the Ethereum-based smart contracts implemented in our solution help to automate the payments based on escrow protocol and validate medical cases. The protocol requires patients to deposit escrow in the wallet of a smart contract before uploading the description of health issues and supporting images.

The physician can access a patient's health symptoms to diagnose and prescribe treatments using the blockchain. In response, the patient can apply for a second health opinion (through the case validation contract, if required). The case validation smart contract sends the case to another physician for seeking a second opinion.

RPMChain Concept

Our solution provides a platform for implementing services related to remote patient-to-doctor consultancy and health data marketplace applications. It facilitates the patients to securely share health data with healthcare professionals under specified terms and conditions. The EHR marketplace feature in our platform allows authorized patients to privately negotiate the terms and conditions for EHR data usage by the third-party healthcare professionals. The permissioned blockchain features enable our solution to implement the access control policies that support access control for varying levels, and we have implemented an external registration service to manage the keys.

The blockchain tokens are used for the platform to assist the participants to transparently use the platform services to settle payments and identify insurance frauds.

On-DemandChain Concept

Working in conjunction with our existing robust TeleHealth platform we have leveraged a blockchain solution to provide on-demand telemedicine services. It assists patients to use virtual health consultation services for sharing patient's symptoms, medical history, and vital signs with the physician. Moreover, blockchain smart contracts implemented by the our solution can enable patients to get the second opinion (using Schelling-Coin algorithm) from several medical experts globally. An AI-based system is integrated with our solution to match and recommend the appropriate physicians that match to the patient's health symptoms. Before providing a health service, experts in the network verify the identity and license of the physician to either allow or reject the request to join the network.

Also, to handle frauds, the physicians are required to deposit their stake in the wallet of a smart contract. In the end, all the interactions with the patients are digitally signed before recording them on the ledger for audit purposes and there is full transparency to all actors.

DataVaultChain Concept

Our Data Vault solutionĀ is an open biomedical information network that helps to establish a connection between individuals and organizations by empowering them to manage and control their data by themselves. It aims to reshape and transform the way sensitive data is stored. This initiative also encourages hospitals to anonymously make data available for open research. Key elements and technologies that are involved in this project include blockchain, dynamic consent, personal data account, smart contracts, multilevel de-identification and encryption technologies, and big data analytics. From the data security point of view, it employs a public blockchain platform that stores information into hash language-based codes.

More specifically, smart contracts are used to automate the execution of all transactions under certain user-defined conditions. The blockchain-based solution helps to distribute the control among multiple stakeholders that lead to providing stringent protection against fraudulent activities. It also provides transparency, traceability, trackability, audit, security, and data provenance support by storing all the data in a fully tamper-proof and decentralized manner. The blockchain-based approach endorses the vision of our soltion by making it a secure and trustworthy information marketplace that helps to create valuable relations between citizens, hospitals, research centers, and businesses.

MedAdminChain Concept

Our Medical Administration solution is the opportunity for a network of clinical organizations that can control and be administered by our blockchain-based smart contracts solution. It aims to provide effective medical services to the patients (Value-based care) via our solution by integrating our existing EHR into a medical information system, allowing healthcare organizations to register, connect, and manage themselves within the network using smart contracts. The basic functionalities of our solution with the EHR module includes real-time monitoring of all interactions with the patient, decision-making for medical personnel, the establishment of personnel access rights, displaying the schedule of health specialists, analyzing the health condition of patients via charts, and health consultancy services via telemedicine.

Our mobile module enables patients to receive telemedicine consultations, postponed or cancel their visits, and comply with the rules defined in the consent contract during EHR sharing to the clinic. By using smart contracts, the organizations can monitor and verify the health outcomes of the patient and comply with the clinical guideline for value-based health services. The blockchain token is acceptable to all organizations to use as a method of payment and complies with the ERC-20 standard.
