So Iryo patients who buy tokens can pay with tokens for medical services? Am I right? Pay only in those hospitals who use Iryo. What about in countries that has basic healthcare taken care of with insurances?

So Iryo patients who buy tokens can pay with tokens for medical services? Am I right? Pay only in those hospitals who use Iryo. What about in countries that has basic healthcare taken care of with insurances?

Maybe you will have some kind of additional health insurance or additional procedures? And think about not just your country but abroad. I can't wait for every personal data to have it my my side blockchain supported. Iryo I bet is already ahead with technology.

CEO Vasja: “We believe that so far technology has actually let down the whole healthcare community. Whereas IT has really helped other industries become more efficient and helped consumers use services more effectively, the same is not the case in healthcare. There are many reasons for this, including cultural and political barriers, but it is certainly true that most European citizens can think of examples of healthcare IT failures in their own systems,” ” said our CEO Vasja Bočko in an interview for Chained Reaction. Great topic: Healthcare IT needs a dose of medicine  Pretty epic but  blockchain is needed in healthcare and food industry I think.

[CryptoWork007]

In the spirit of the bitcoin, Iryo Network removes the need for (patient) identity, replaces it with mathematical control over his medical data. This allows Iryo Network to bypass traps associated with stolen identity, phishing attacks and avoids liability with verification of the identity (false positives, false negatives, missing the data on the patient).

People get alittle educated: GOOD article: https://medium.com/iryo-network/announcing-the-first-deployment-of-the-iryo-system-improving-healthcare-for-refugees-bee8c441e7e6
In January 2018 our CEO Vasja Bočko visited one of the camps in Lebanon.

Patients in refugee camps typically have one smartphone per family, normally with a 3G enabled data connection. Iryo will enable refugees to store health data on their mobile phones, making it possible to take their medical history with them wherever they go. The longitudinal medical data that is collected within the 5 to 7 years that refugees traditionally spend in camps will help to ensure better access to healthcare and undoubtedly improve their overall quality of life.

Yeah good thinking maybe additional health insurance and they are thinking it that way. Or maybe private clinics and doctors and that healthcare will privatize even more which leaves us with more options and maybe better more quality healthcare for patients. I want to buy Iryo tokens probably there will be KYC and all of that procedure and hope I get in the pre-sale.

Why Decentralization Matters

The first two eras of the internet

During the first era of the internet — from the 1980s through the early 2000s — internet services were built on open protocols that were controlled by the internet community. This meant that people or organizations could grow their internet presence knowing the rules of the game wouldn’t change later on. Huge web properties were started during this era including Yahoo, Google, Amazon, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. In the process, the importance of centralized platforms like AOL greatly diminished.

During the second era of the internet, from the mid 2000s to the present, for-profit tech companies — most notably Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon (GAFA) — built software and services that rapidly outpaced the capabilities of open protocols. The explosive growth of smartphones accelerated this trend as mobile apps became the majority of internet use. Eventually users migrated from open services to these more sophisticated, centralized services. Even when users still accessed open protocols like the web, they would typically do so mediated by GAFA software and services.

Data-Driven Healthcare
Inoperable Health Data
The healthcare industry accumulates vast quantities of highly valuable medical data every second. Due to the large quantity of individual service providers, each with their own unique data type, data becomes fragmented and quickly loses value for medical research. Iryo removes the silos by building its network on the back of openEHR archetypes. These data types are universally consistent and help drive the next generation of medical AI & big data research.

Creating Consistency in Healthcare
The use of an openEHR framework prevents medical institutions from reformulating existing data types. Having consistent frameworks across medical institutions allow domain experts (medical researchers and clinical specialists) to accurately define and use specific data points in their practice. This ensures global interoperability and increases the intrinsic value of health data.

Public Blockchain
Accessing Data
Patients can now choose how they interact with their medical history.

Share medical histories with hospitals, specialists, and researchers, anywhere in the world.
Selectively reveal relevant parts of a medical record with a predefined time limit.
Acquire Iryo tokens offered by research institutions for the collection of anonymous health data.
Pay for medical services with Iryo tokens.
Access to a variety of cross-platform health apps within the Iryo Network.
Scaling with EOS
EOS will allow for the creation of an extremely efficient and scalable network. EOS “shards” will enable Iryo to create an extremely dynamic yet super lightweight chain resulting in lightning fast transactions. Sharing vast quantities of medical data between subjects of trust, such as doctors, specialists, and researchers will ultimately be less expensive, less time consuming and yield greater value for patients around the world.

Wise choice

Great article. We want more of decentralization blockchain and heatlthcare articles.

Friend from healthcare told me about Iryo. I am in crypto few years and i didn't invest in healthcare projects yet.

This article is good reading

Unblocked Events arranges regular blockchain events in London around a range of industry verticals including healthcare, energy, creative industries and the voluntary and public sectors.

Bearer Health Record
The concept of BHR tries to imitate the physical access control that none-digital health records had, but with the efficiencies brought by the digital version of the record .

Necessary properties:
1.) Open standards
Making interoperability achievable in practice. An example is the OpenEHR standard.

2.) Open source app to store local copy of health record.
You have the ability to check app doesn’t have a kill switch, doesn’t lie about syncing, and doesn’t delete or rewrite anything the user did not authorise. The prerequisite is also the ability to export data.

3.) Local copy of your medical data.
Some patients might not care, but those who do matters here. Default (opt-out) patient phone storage. Only encrypted cloud/server backups are allowed.

4.) Real-time data writes
Doctor (or device in the future) that produces the data needs to write that in your record in real time. If there are delays and permissions need to be granted between the production of data and writing to your health records; two divergent copies might be in the production, and you can’t control the second one.

5.) Control enforcement through permissions and encryption

• Zero-knowledge: once you have the data, you can encrypt it with your key and back it up to the network/server.

• Giving doctor the ability to read the data means giving him either the private key or even better sharing just re-encryption key (public key cryptography).

• your access revocations should at least mean that the revocated parties can’t read the newer data.

6.) No ID and third-party controlled accounts

Things you really own won’t ask you for the government issued identification or ask you to sign in to your account which might be subject to deletion at the service discretion.
