Yeah, I have a lot of questions as I am confused about what the Aimedis blockchain actually functions as? It turns out that Aimedis do not hold electronic health records on their blockchain, they are kept completely separate.
What!!!! If they are not storing health record in blockchain for easy availability and transparency then what the heck are they using blockchain for
Lol. I thought the blockchain was for securely storing health records for patients so no one can be able to access the data except the user.
I thought also that they will going to store it on blockchain so all the data will be secured and can't be access except by them and the user. We must ask the team regarding to this confusion.
Yep I was confused when I asked on telegram and Roxana told me that no sensitive, private or medical data will be stored on the Aimedis blockchain. But it actually makes a lot of sense data will still be held by the hospitals but Aimedis willl use Health Level 7 (HL7) protocol for communication in version 1. Then in version 2 it will develop it further by implementing Fast Healthcare Interopability Resources (FHIR) API so users can exchange health records securely.
that surprises me now too. I thought that saving the data on the blockchain was an important part of the project.
On the homepage is the following sentence
Store your data securely and anonymously, backed by our proprietary blockchain, and share it with the doctors you trust.
Where is this data stored?
Okay I got a really good answer in the end on telegram from Roxana, the important thing is to bear in mind there are 3 main types of data, medical, sensitive and synced.
AIMchain is the blockchain solution that Aimedis has developed and on this chain it will store medical data such as discharge letters, medical documents, dr signatures, rights management, etc.
This is the kind of data users will be able to share with their doctors on the platform. Sensitive data such as diagnosis, operation records and text copies of psychiatrist conversations will be held privately by the hospital or medical practice.
The sensitive data is sent between user and hospital through HL7 protocol, Aimedis does not hold this data and this is how they will be able to transfer clinical and administrative data. There is also synced data which is the data that is collected from smart devices and medical trackers but this will also not be stored on the blockchain.
Hope this makes sense look at the Aimedis telegram if you want to see the convo I had with Roxana.
