ANN [MEDX] The First Decentralized Healthcare Network

[olcaytu2005]

How's this a world first? There are already projects like bowhead and patientory... Is this one of those projects that wants to get some extra money while the hype is active? Seems like that to me.

Can I ask about the bounty program? Is it planned? And if so, how will it go?

i think i already heard a project before about a healtcare, and the ICO is success

what is make this ICO different with other ?

MedCredits is focused on providing healthcare services. Our first use case will be in tele-dermatology (diagnosis of skin disorders). There is no other project that connects doctors to patients on a decentralized network allowing healthcare services. By combining telemedicine with Ethereum smart contracts, we are creating a decentralized network for healthcare services. Think: doctors treating patients.

Patientory is building an EMR to solve the issue of EMR interoperability. Their platform does not engage in healthcare services between doctors and patients.
Bowhead Health is engaging a niche market of personalized vitamins and supplementation. Their platform does not engage in healthcare services between doctors and patients.

To me, it seems that those who are asking/questioning the differences between MedCredits and the other projects are not performing adequate due diligence. From what I understand, some projects are hoping to become a 3rd party, connecting existing EMRs together (Patientory) or providing a service (Bowhead, MedCredits). There are also references to creating new EMRs, but I personally think that should be a secondary/tertiary goal as, as referenced in this thread, there are hundreds of EMRs already in existence. The lesser known EMRs typically target smaller clinics/facilities as the market share of medium-large hospitals already belong to EMRs such as Epic, Allscripts, etc. Projects such as Patientory face a hurdle of larger EMRs already collaborating to create a Health Information Exchange so that patient information can flow freely between organizations and systems.

I feel this is a strong project because although Telemedicine (and preventative medicine) is the direction the United States (and perhaps other regions, as well) is heading, it is limited to demographics which presumably have established health care already as the initiatives with the most momentum are organizationally driven. This large gap (those who do not have health care) gave rise to services such as WebMD, and here in the Silicon Valley, start-ups pushing to create other tele health/Concierge Health services who are doing it without a blockchain.

What are the plans around staffing the tele-derm/tele-health service? In order to keep use of this service accessible, would that require artificially keeping the value of MEDX tokens down or will it scale based on the current market value? Example: If MEDX becomes valued at $10 and MEDX servivces are ~100 MEDX, what benefits are there for a patient to use the MedCredits service over traditional services? If a scaling system is used, how would you present that to patients in a way that is easily digestible? How do you plan to interoperate with the other established EMRs? Lastly, are there any plans in addressing health insurance and it's historically low/non-existent reimbursement for tele-health services?

I look forward to learning more about your work.

Can I ask about the bounty program? Is it planned? And if so, how will it go?

We have received a number of requests for bounties. We will be in touch shortly regarding these.

its also part of the advertisement here and outside so allocating funds for this would be beneficial for both hunters and the project so i will
be expecting some updates regarding to any bounty that will be open by OP, good luck to your project dev let see how it will be differ from its same
concept and target venue.

Saw you guys from a few different threads...how are you different from LITRA coin? You guys seem to have a good team, but how exactly would the EMR platform differ from others--this seems like not the main purpose of medcredits tho, correct?

bounties?

Litra coin appears to be going down the route of connecting existing EMR platforms. This is actually already being done by EMR providers and does not particularly require a blockchain. http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/content/home/en_US/pdf/Epic_Interoperability_Fact_Sheet_10.pdf

MedCredits is a platform that connects patients and doctors for medical services. If you were sick at home or a relative was worried about a mole on their arm, you would use the MedCredits platform to be connected to a doctor.

Regarding EMRs: When a patient sees a doctor, the doctor documents the encounter and potentially prescribes some medication or orders additional testing (blood work, MRI, referral to a specialist). This generates data. The critical point is that healthcare data is generated when doctors evaluate patients. EMRs simply store this data. The MedCredits platform will generate patient data and allow the patient to own this data (private keys). As the MedCredits clinical services expand, so too will the volume of patient data. MedCredits will therefore become both an EMR and a platform for medical services.

I hope that clarifies the difference between MedCredits and a lot of other projects out there. We are indeed the first platform to offer medical services and our team is led by licensed medical doctors.

when ico launch, and any bounty.?

[cp_underground]

interesting on this project, when ico launch.

[califor9ia]

Interesting project and looks like a strong team. Think this has potential to be The Healthcare Coin. What's the best way to follow you guys and get updates?
