Are you aware of any current or upcoming blockchain project applied to healthcare / social security?

The intent being to facilitate the relationships between (i) patients, (ii) social security or private health insurance organisms and (iii) practitioners and pharmacists for health care payments.

For instance, any project intending to get rid of paper medical prescription?

Maybe you have heard of any altcoin which intends to support or reproduce the above.

Now I summon shill posts from shill accounts praising some shitcoin/'s!

Not at all - just curious and very interested about the topic and any project that could be related to it. Please no unjustified accusation. Let the opportunity to newbies to express themselves thank you.

Actually have not come across many or any blockchain initiatives for Pharmaceutical or Healthcare industry so far.... there is definitely a need thats for sure.

I think a good example of blockchain applied to healthcare is Patientory. They are trying to solve the healthcare weaknesses and problems using blockchain, and they are doing it very well.

Please, look on the following news: https://lfb.org/could-cryptocurrencies-save-healthcare/

Came across there guys and they are doing a soft launch www.biotechintel.com this is the 1st that I have seen targeting the pharmaceutical industry and overall concept and idea sounds solid to me.

Interesting and ambitious project targeting drug pricing and discovery. However, I have yet to see a direct benefit of the use of blockchain in the context of that project, a normal database could work just as well. Exciting project nonetheless.

Agree to your point it's an interesting project. What I don't get is these guys have no presence on either the forum or anywhere else for that matter. Wondering how are they promoting this or plan to promote this given that their ICO has already started?? :-\

Any news regarding the Healthcare ICO details?

Looking like a thread which will be shilled upon but I'll answer the original question. I've seen a coin called Care4Me which directly connects healthcare services through blockchain technology for faster solutions.
There are more than just one but I just picked this as I've read all about it and thought it would account for easily accessible healthcare solutions.

The list I have so far for healthcare blockchain platforms:

First medical device using the blockchain to communicate vitamin levels to doctors.

5. Patientory (PTOY) (https://patientory.com/)
Blockchain solution to connecting existing EMR systems with one another and to patients.

Yes, I read white paper now first time. I laugh because word "blockchain" use 9 times in paper but never explain WHY need blockchain. All it say is "enhanced using blockchain". This project have no use for blockchain. Project much better with normal database. Token also with no use.

Remember community: project that need blockchain is because it need consensus, maybe payment, maybe trust of 2 ppl doing transaction. These important feature of blockchain tech that good project MUST have. Otherwise project is scam trying to get money from ICO investor and just using big words so sound smart.

Everybody, look for MedCredits (MEDX)! This project is best in healthcare field. Using blockchain for smart contract and payment between patient/doctor in telemedicine. This team understand blockchain very well and build project with very smart use-case! Finally some good healthcare application. Dev I hope ICO come soon. I check ANN each day  ;D

Thank you, I did not see this project before. I review white paper and have seen many flaws. Main flaw as investor is that they use coin as giveaway for loyalty/gift-card so that nurses/customers use platform. They try to get people to use platform by giving away coin for free. Coin have no chance of profit when you think about it. If care4me dev need money to promote application they should apply to grants but not take ICO investor money. You are welcome if I save you from losing money  ;)


I have full report here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1990545.420

If disagree we can discuss or maybe care4me dev will answer questions and I am wrong but I don't see that I am wrong today

there is a project call HMS(Health Mutual Society), it's now very popular in China.
HMS  intends to offer affordable healthcare coverage by separating the medical cost among members by reconstructing the trust system, HMS will overturn the existing mutual market by Blockchain technology.
The dev team of HMS already made a successful project which has 8 million members in China, now, HMS is the revision 2.0 and it's target on the global market.
If you want to know more details, here is the link: http://hms.io/

I think perhaps two projects that we're going to connect to the Healthcare System. I don't know what happened with them, but obviously they're dipping into a business that has a high amount of Regulation. Bitcoin is not much popular in healthcare business yet.

My wife works in the healthcare insurance industry and she constantly has 500 to 600 pages of new or altered regulations on her desk at any moment. So what any of these projects is looking at doing is taking highly regulated information and somehow integrating a tattoo a nearly 100% transparent Digital model.

I want to watch this thread since I am in the healthcare business or the paperworks that  is being done converted to computerized files.
I do hospital paper works and want it to get easier. I know there is a rule in the USA that this papers should burned or destroyed in just a few years and cannot stay for a long time. So this one is really important.

Nothing more regulated than financial industry and this we see successful today already. Full decentralized application like Bitcoin cannot be closed down by even US government

look to bitlicense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitLicense
Government make very difficult to start company in New York City but does this stop bitcoin companies? You know answer!

Same thing to healthcare. I not afraid of regulation if application decentralized. Sad to say but I see many centralized healthcare ICOs like Patientory and Bowhead.
Look to MedCredits (MEDX)...look like they will make 100% decentralized and will not be shut down ever  8)

Yep I was going to say the same thing I never got pationtory myself but the idea seems interesting - I think I'll probably get some when I see some good development coming forth

It's a tough nut to crack, and I would say that any project that even got to the first level of approval through the healthcare industry would not become a live functioning project, for at least a couple years until all of the regulation and systemizing was worked out.

Not if decentralized project. Decentralized project not able to shut down. MedCredits without centralization.

 ;D ;D ;D ;D

Here we go, now you know where NOT to invest your money :D .

Hello,

I do analysis doc.ai and find many problem. For community: please read and decide but dev give very bad answer and not discuss my question
Summary: doc.ai smart idea but they no have good plan to make work. I not invest.

See post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2117440.40

For community: If have healthcare ICO you like me to analyze I do for you!

So far:


1. MedCredits (MEDX)
2. Medibond (MEDI)
3. Doc.ai (NRN)
4. Bowhead Health (AHT)
5. Patientory (PTOY)
6. Care4Me (CareCoin)

Hello, I see good review MedCredits on blockchain healthcare review. Dev today say bounty coming soon!

http://blockchainhealthcarereview.com/medcredits-and-hippocrates-tackling-telemedicine-decentralization-within-blockchain-technologies/

to be honest, curious how those project continues with the regulation and realising their plan, it's kinda hard and sometimes, doesn't sound realistc atleast from my opinion. frankly, noone of them show us a significant progress of the project. and there's strict regulation regarding this field as many have spoken, could they continue their project as planned?.
one thing that get me confused, how the apply blockchain to healtcare and such?

I specialist in healthcare ICOs and do full analysis (you see many other posts I do). For Medcredits:

1) In white paper they show no legal restrictions to international telemedicine except Malaysia
2) Medcredits 100% decentralised. Like many thing (Augur, Golem) if 100% decentralised can not be shut down. I say do not be afraid regulation. Whole blockchain field very new and in future will beat regulation. This is point of blockchain movement.
3) I think you must read MedCredits white paper if you ask how apply blockchain to healthcare. This is idea of Medcredits and why project very smart

What is teh decentralized? can you give an explanation for me? Where from the project gets its decentralized? and they are massively trying to claim that to be the decentralized project even claimed the to be the decentralized medical platform and that was a joke.

What joke? They 100% decentralized medical platform.
They decentralized: payment decentralize, data storage decentralize, doctor credentials decentralize. Find for me someone who control MedCredits network. Medcredits only make software. Once software made they no control of network. Only patient and doctor control.

Like ethereum. Vitalik make software then can not change network (except hard fork)

From Pharma industry perspective as its so regulated there is NO WAY that you can have anything to do with Pharma decentralised. Parts of it yes such as in supply chain and few other stuff but there other stuff such as medical data, Patient data and even Physician data decentralised!!!! Any Pharma company that does or adopts such solution or solutions will be shut down by the likes of FDA and other country specific Pharma regulators. Else people will make candy and sell them as life saving drugs...

Yes, we can ask MEDX dev this but project not say nothing to change pharma. It decentralise doctor/patient. Probably doctor give patient prescription and they get medicine from regular pharmacy. Another project must change pharma I think.

Like my example...it like saying NO WAY ethereum can decentralise apple products. Ethereum still need apple/microsoft to make hardware and iOS/windows. SO ethereum centralized. Of course 1 project not change entire world, yes?

How you think to this post to EMR interoperability. I think very smart and make patientory idea sound "misguided" (word from post)

This guy is running a scam! He is getting paid by scammers like him to mislead everyone, check his profile to know:

Looks like dentacoin is giving a hell of their money just so they could be no top with the advertising company. I would really try this one because I could see they are not holding back when it comes to their capital. I see a lot of successful coins by means of paying a lot and just getting it back when the ICO ends. Maybe you should try that.
