[ANN] [TOKEN-SALE-SUMMARY] IRYO - Unleashing the value of medical data.

[Cryptohaaans]

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.



OPENEHR + EOS


Wise choice

Nice. If I get this right it is a good thing to be working smartcontracts on EOS I see it is much faster and more modern in terms of technology so I guess it is a good thing and I see that people don't want to give EOS soo quickly so I think it is a good idea (and also pricewise.. to have both Ether and EOS much much better).

How can Iryo can solve the EHR Storing problem???i mean Electric health records

I dont think they are aiming to approach that aspect of health-tech. This approach is pretty cool if you ask me. Too many projects are trying to put EHRs on a private chain and this will not happen anytime soon. Too much red tape and Epic corners the market with its partnerships and interop conglomerates like the Sequoia project and Surescripts HISP.

@IRYO
So the focus is on particular medical data being made available to research organizations and in return the patient is provided with tokens that will allow a reduction in costs associated with procedures / meds that pertain to the data being shared? Ex. I had fibromyalgia and a pharm-research group asks to see my history and in turn the tokens could potentially pay for a portion of my Cymbalta Rx?

Are the tokens redeemable at the patients home clinic?

Im interested, cool project. Im an interop dev at a large institution working with Epic's EHR and in the Texas Interop collaborative. This space is begging for quality blockchain usage...not PTOY type wiz-bang nonsense.

IRYO.NETWORK
Redefining Global Healthcare.
Unleashing the value of medical data for the new decentralised healthcare economy.
WHITEPAPER | TOKEN SALE SUMMARY | TEAM | TELEGRAM

Iryo is creating a global network for healthcare data, based on a standardised, zero-knowledge data storage, blockchain access control framework. Iryo’s ecosystem is putting the patient in the center and in complete control of their valuable data. By adopting openEHR medical standards and being open-source, Iryo is solving the issue of interoperability in Healthcare IT from the ground up.

The use of a public blockchain will enable the network to employ a distributed access control list (preventing internal exploits that are common in centralized systems) and provide data immutability through digital fingerprinting. Iryo Tokens will add an additional layer of security (healthcare providers will need to stake a certain amount of tokens to be considered a legitimate actor) and will incentivize data sharing for research purposes.

How it works
           
Healthcare providers will use Iryo software in their workflows to capture patients’ data. The software will use a technology called proxy re-encryption to encrypt the patient’s health data with the patient’s private key without the patient sharing their key. The encrypted data will then be stored on the patient’s device (Iryo app), on the healthcare provider’s server/cloud and, as an encrypted backup, and stored on Iryo cloud, again as an encrypted backup,. At the same time, a digital fingerprint (hash) of that data will be created and stored on the public blockchain to ensure immutability of data.

Patients will be in complete control of their data and will be able to grant and revoke access to their data via their mobile app. The grants and revocations will be stored on the blockchain, which will remove the possibility of internal fraud that centralized systems inherently harbour.
Data will be stored in OpenEHR format, which will provide interoperability and future compatibility.

Researchers will be able to tap into this global repository of healthcare data by buying tokens and offering them as reward to users who are willing to share that data. In practice, this will look like  a simple app notification on the phone asking the user whether they are willing to share a certain piece of information for the purpose of a specific study. If they reject the request, nothing leaves the patient’s device and absolutely no data is ever shared. If they share it, they get the token reward offered by the research institution.

Key characteristics

1. Iryo is fully committed to being open-source (back-end & clients).
2. Iryo is built on open standards & medical archetypes (OpenEHR) for health data formats.
3. Using a public blockchain (EOS)
4. Solid private key management & recovery solutions with ZeroPass.
5. The Iryo ICO will be on Ethereum with ERC20 while the Iryo application will use EOS based tokens. The reasons behind utilizing EOS are the low fees and fast transactions associated with their infrastructure.

Token use cases

Patients
The Iryo Token will usher in a new era for medical research. Patients will have the ability to anonymously share their medical history/results with researchers in exchange for Iryo Tokens which can then be used to pay for medical services within the network.

Iryo Research Portal
Research institutions will have access to vast quantities of highly relevant medical data at their disposal. "Analyse in Place" queries will decrease the expenses associated with acquiring large sets of medical data making AI & Big Data research more affordable, while preserving complete anonymity for the patients who share the data (preventing de-anonymisation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De-anonymization).

Iryo Clinics
Iryo Tokens will enable hospitals & clinics to participate within the network. Blockchain access controls will enable healthcare providers to securely access a patient’s medical record in real-time, enabling them to treat patients in ways never before possible. They will also provide way to get emergency access to a patient's health records in case of the patient being incapacitated to grant access.

Mission

Our mission is to make healthcare sustainable by developing healthcare IT solutions worthy of the 21st century.

Vision

We want to disrupt the landscape of traditional health IT by promoting standardised health-data archetypes, redefining medical data ownership through encryption and zero-knowledge data storage and providing an order of magnitude increase in security, transparency and auditability of healthcare IT by using blockchain technologies.

Values

- Healthcare IT vendors should use vendor neutral, open and community driven data standards and formats which promote and improve global interoperability.
- We believe open source software is more secure, more agile and more trustworthy. It also promotes faster adoption and reduces vendor lock in. Healthcare IT should be open sourced.  
- Personal health data is one of the most sensitive types of personal information and so every possible measure must be taken to protect it. We believe that means zero-knowledge data storage.
- The patient should be in the centre of the data distribution.
- The patient should not only legally own the data, but must also be the one who controls it.
- Granting access to that data must be done in a way that is transparent and auditable and leaves no room for “centralized fraud.”

Market potential

The global healthcare IT market size is anticipated to reach anywhere between $100 billion on the low end and $200 billion on the high end by 2020. The compounded annual growth rate of healthcare IT globally is between 7 and 13 %. The global electronic health records market alone was estimated at $23 billion in 2016 and expected to grow to almost $40 billion by 2025.

USA is currently the largest and most valuable market, but digitization of healthcare is on the rise and the Asia Pacific market is expected to be the fastest growing regional segment over the next decade. Emerging economies in this region including China and India have been experiencing strong economic growth and high demand for healthcare IT services is expected. Similar growth trajectories are expected in South America and Africa.

Live implementation: “S.Iryo - refugee project”

The first deployment of the Iryo Network will take place across a variety of refugee camps throughout the Middle East. Iryo has partnered with a US based NGO Walk with me (https://www.walkwith-me.org/) to deploy our solution in 12 locations in 6 countries (total addressable market of 6 mio refugees).
It was a good pilot project for Iryo to prove the hypotheses around patient-centric data storage. The refugees spend between 5 and 7 years in refugee camps, while the NGOs come and go and the churn rate of doctors is very high. Having possession of their personal health records over time improves the quality and effectiveness of their treatment. Effective treatment becomes limited if the medical professionals are using outdated or incompatible software. With Iryo, the refugees will be able to hold on to their health data regardless of how many doctors come and go within those 7 years. Even more importantly, they will be able to take that data with them once they move to a more permanent location.
The token economy will enable new models of help - it will be possible to make donations with Iryo tokens for a variety of medical services that benefit refugees.

Other deployments

Iryo is discussing deals with telemedical providers which would like to use Iryo network for a structured, safe and transparent mean of exchanging data between the supply and demand side. Iryo is also in talks with some other healthcare providers and will share more information as soon as we are able to. Iryo has a contract signed around R&D of augmented reality using hololens for the purpose of accessing and presenting medical data in medically stressful environments, demanding extremely fast response (ER activity).

ZeroPass 4Teams app
ZeroPass 4Teams will provide clinics and Iryo multi-member teams environment
with all of the core ZeroPass functionalities and benefits, while at the
same time also taking into consideration their specific requirements:
• a global overview of all members and their actions,
• access to signing using a private key for multiple users (sharing functionality),
• an adjustable level of security (how many users and/or devices per user are required to sign
a transaction or get access to the key).

Will Iryo patients that have data stored in Iryo cloud and their phones also need to have ZeroPass app or some other app on their phone ?

Decentralization, healthcare data, and very deep simple things about IRYO project


Iryo — the decentralized future of healthcare
Improvement in healthcare over the last 100 years has been dramatic. People live longer and better lives all over the world, and this trend is going to continue.

The information age brought new challenges, opportunities and set new customer expectations in all areas including healthcare. We all create and collect infinite ammounts of data on our phones in addition to visits at the doctors.

Key problems with data in healthcare
The key problem of data in healthcare can be summarized in lack of widely adopted open standards for health data, leading to poor interoperability. Patients are often left carrying around records on paper to show their medical history to doctors treating them. OpenEHR, which Iryo is building upon is an effort to tackle this.

The second major challenge is inadequate security and often outdated architecture. This presents an opportunity for Iryo to leapfrog existing solutions with a decentralized architecture as a backbone for new services.

Poor interoperability, inadequate security and lack of control over personal data limits the scope of using this data for research purposes. It’s less about giving your personal data away for research and more about making sure that the data doesn’t get abused in one way or another. Cardiogram is a good example of what is possible when data becomes open. Iryo will enable much more of that.

Why and when decentralization of healthcare data makes sense
It’s a very fair question to ask why would you even want to decentralize healthcare data, given the fact that the US and most European countries have information systems in place that do a reasonably good job at storing and exchanging health records.

Decentralization and anti-fragility by design are specially useful when developing systems where no central authority can have control over data, no registry can be tampered with and most importantly can still be accessed if parts of the system are not online at the time.

Imagine a centralized EHR not being available in the middle of a crisis, where lives depend on getting their medical history right. A decentralized and resilient design, like the one Iryo has, can prevent that.

The second key component of a forward looking EHR solution is privacy. The Iryo team choose to leaverage zero-knowledge storage and anonymous query interfaces to guarantee that.

Helping those who need it most first
Despite Iryo still being in early phases of development it already attracted the attention of several institutions and projects that will benefit from a decentralized EHR system.

The first official deployment of the Iryo sistem is with Walk With Me — a partnership that will provide a modern, distributed electronic health record system to refugee camps in the Middle East.

The Walk With Me organisation currently operates 12 projects in 6 countries — Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, and Djibouti, totaling 11 million refugees. Additional clinics are planned to be established in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Turkey, with a long-term vision of reaching 700 camps worldwide.

Onwards
I’m excited about the opportunity to help Vasja and the team building this ambitious project as an advisor.

3fs has long been known as a studio where extraordinary talent built digital products with fantastic user experiences, powered by the latest technologies. Lake (2017 Apple design award winner), TrickyTribe, Toshl (backed by 500 startups) and many telecom services at scale in partnership with Ericsson.

When Andraz Logar, a long time friend and partner in many projects, first shared the conceptual idea that eventually became Iryo, it just seemed crazy ambitious. At the time the key focus was still research of pain-points and problems in the space. Andraz and the team were actively interviewing doctors and health professionals to gain deep insights in the domain.

In the summer of 2017, I met with Vasja and was impressed by his positive attitude, desire to work on something impactful and infectious energy. Vasja used to manage products at 3fs before joining Bitstamp, and eventually assembling a strong team for Iryo.

I’m looking forward to contribute, sharing the lessons learned at Layer in building a scalable platform, enabling great user experiences, used by both developers and large organizations.
