[ANN] 🔐⚕️Coral Health: Reclaim Your Healthcare Data⚕️🔓[CHT][WHITELIST]

[nmanji]

what is behind the decision to use distributed databases to store healthcare data?

Hi Matutana!

Both due to the blockchain not being a good fit for storing large data and to protect patient privacy, the patient’s personal data including their medical records need to be stored off chain on IPFS. We only store the referents to that data on the blockchain to act as an index for the data.

A useful analogy for this approach is a library catalog system. The data Coral Health is storing on the blockchain is like a card catalog in a library that contains metadata about the book and a location where the book can be found.

We detail this approach in more detail in section 6 of our white paper (linked above).

how will data be collected for this project and who will be able to view this data?

Hi Makpol,
Coral Health is working to create a seamless connection between your providers’ EHR systems and our patient app. This connection supports most of the commonly used data types from an EHR system, including medications, allergies, procedures, conditions, clinical vitals, and labs. We also allow users to manually enter results, so even if a particular provider’s EHR system is not integrated with Coral Health, our users can still benefit from using our system.

Only the patient can view and share their data with whomever they choose.  Coral Health would never be able to access your data, for example.

lots of similar projects with data protection plus healthcare, what's the most innovative points you offer?

Hi Poiseulle,
There are few reasons why Coral Health is unique in this space:

1) Our team is composed of experienced technologists, prominent health policy experts and leading scientists who are intimately aware of the challenges facing the healthcare industry today. Our team is uniquely positioned to develop and deploy solutions that advance security, transparency and personalized patient care.


2) Our technology is cutting-edge.  We employ blockchain and distributed database technology to solve costly inefficiencies across the healthcare system.

3) We have key partnerships with research institutions and healthcare provider networks and are in late-stage discussions with leading insurance companies to develop targeted solutions that provide immediate operational benefits.

4) We have a product already built (check out the product section above).  Many of our competitors have not yet gone beyond the white paper stage.

Please do let me know if you have any other questions!

I read the white paper, it's an interesting concept. Coral health has a good approach, it will be interesting to see how it will be implemented, and how long it will take for widespread adoption.

are you confident in reaching soft cap??

[Ozinzin]

What other startups have you made? You mentioned there were a few of them in the WP.

Hi Ozinzin,
Our team has extensive experience in the healthcare industry, and one of our co-founders developed software and patent-pending tools currently used by Genentech, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson and others. Coral Health is our main focus right now, and there is a great deal we aim to accomplish!

Hi there,
We raised approximately 5M from private sales which surpassed the amount we had set as our soft cap.

This news makes me very happy!But I am not surprised at this development, because the Coral Health platform is introducing truly global changes in the current health care system.I think such a development would benefit both themselves and the medical staff,and to us,those who do not have enough skilled medical services.

No soft cap, therefore whats the hard cap?

[startblouse8]

Do you envision coral health working in all health systems across the world, or is this regional specific?

[pollensen5]

There's lots of buzz around coral, I've seen your company mentioned in a few telegram chats I follow. Must be a good sign!

any bounty???

Hello, I read through the white paper and I have a question, when you give someone (a lab/doctor etc) permission, will that be in real time or will there be a delay?

Hi Sahara,
We don't have a hard cap, as our sale is ongoing. Coral Health Tokens fuel our ecosystem and incentivize critical healthcare exchange.

Hi Indiast3,
The data exchange will be real-time!

Hi Startblouse,
We are focusing on the US and Canada right now!

Writing the correct information about health on the blockchain will help to provide undisputed medical care.
However, medical information is very sensitive.
I hope that information can be effectively utilized while ensuring privacy.

Hi Ken-san, totally agree. Our focus at Coral Health is to ensure patient privacy.  By encrypting all information and never storing personal data on the blockchain, our system is fully HIPAA and GDPR-compliant by default.  All data sharing is patient-permissioned.  Unfortunately that's not the case right now in the healthcare industry.
