Problem addressed

The problem of traditional healthcare system is that information cannot be securely shared among different parties. It is difficult to access a patient’s previous medical records by different doctors or specialists for treatment purposes. It is also difficult for pharmaceutical companies to gather data related to their drugs for analysis. 

This system is a secure healthcare blockchain and data exchange platform that supports information exchange among different parties.

Innovation
  • A permissioned blockchain solution is developed to store the health records and ensure that  the records are only accessible by authorised individuals. The data is stored in a distributed manner with immutable audit history.
  • Medical mark-up language (MML) is adopted to record medical information and exchange it among different parties electronically.
  • A transpiler is developed to transpile the medical smart contract language to the blockchain specific smart contract language for deploying in the blockchain. Even a layman can use it easily without any problems.
Key impact
  • The technology will reduce time for the development and standardise the coding pattern of healthcare blockchain. 
  • The technology is able to allevate the increasing demand for teleconsultation during the pandemic period.
