The company’s solution will streamline information sharing, using a permissioned blockchain to ensure the security and integrity of critical data.
September 20th 2017, Connecticut, U.S. - Reliable access to patients’ medical information is a prerequisite for timely and effective healthcare, but the confidential nature of personal data means that healthcare providers often operate within a siloed world creating unintended consequences where patient outcomes come second to data protection concerns.
These tensions have led the Connecticut-based company SimplyVital Health (SVH) to create a totally new kind of data-sharing solution. Health Nexus is an autonomous, blockchain ecosystem that integrates with existing healthcare systems for lower on-boarding costs. Because it employs a permissioned ledger – rather than an open protocol, like the bitcoin network – it is possible to ensure that all miners maintaining the network are validated entities. The platform is consequently secure enough to deal with data as private and sensitive as healthcare records.
Secure, Open Healthcare Marketplace
Their current platform, ConnectingCare, is commercially available, and a number of organisations already employ it to facilitate their business models – making it one of the first practical use-cases for blockchain technology in healthcare. The company’s aim is ultimately to leverage Health Nexus to unite healthcare provision on a global scale, rather than allowing individual providers to remain in their own silos.
