"iCan has consistently been rated as one of the top insurance sales firms in the country. They were pioneers in the use of bundled benefits and we are thrilled to be collaborating with them to transform health access,” says Frank Ricotta, chief executive at BurstIQ. “There is so much buzz about how blockchain might be able to change the healthcare industry. This is a perfect example of how it is changing the industry.”

Many of you have asked how we are different from our competitors, and we have provided specific information on how we are different from other [Suspicious link removed]panies in the health space. Frank and I just returned from the Distributed Health conference, where every company that is involved in blockchain and health was in attendance. There are lots of great ideas brewing out there, but it is clear that this is still a nascent field with tons of room for innovation and growth.

Having seen what's out there, I can say that there are a few areas where BurstIQ has developed technologies that are completely novel:

1. Informed Consent: traditional smart contracts can handle simple transactions, but BurstIQ's Consent Contract layer can create complex smart contracts where data has multiple owners, permission can be revoked or limited to a subset of a person's LifeGraph, permission can be granted to groups or definitions of groups rather than specific individuals, etc. This is something we heard over and over is essential for managing health data, and BurstIQ is the only company that has enabled and fully deployed this.

2. Ecosystem: There are a few companies looking to put health (or in some cases, just medical) data on blockchain - either for operations / supply chain management or as a personal health record. BurstIQ is the only company that is putting health data (broadly defined) on blockchain and then establishing an ecosystem that allows people to control and gain value from their own data, and allows companies and individuals to create partnerships, market products, buy products, collaborate on research projects, create B2B services, and more. This is another aspect of our platform that many attendees told us was desperately needed in the healthcare industry.

3. BurstIQ is the only company that has applied Big Data capabilities to the core blockchain, which means that a) the platform can handle large data volumes industry-wide level rather than needing to build separate (siloed) instances that can only handle a limited amount of data, and b) the platform can apply machine learning, real-time data analytics, AI and other tools to the data, which opens up a whole world of possible uses of the data.

A few other factors that set us apart:
1. We have paying customers, a strong customer pipeline and are profitable.
2. With our partnerships with Empiric Health and iCan Benefit Group, we will bring in hundreds of thousands of LifeGraphs, millions of data transactions and large portfolios of consumer products on the Ecosystem.
3. Our platform is fully operational - we are not just a whitepaper or vaporware looking for start-up funding.

Join the Health Singularity

Bowhead has created a medical device that performs at-home biometric testing and uses the test results to create personalized vitamin and supplement packages. Their data capture and sharing capabilities are focused specifically on IoT device data, not Big Data applications.

The BurstIQ platform combines blockchain with Big Data capabilities, machine learning, and advanced security protocols to enable complex, highly sensitive data (of any type) to be managed, permissioned and shared without compromising security and privacy. We have built an ecosystem on top of this platform that: 1) allows people to access their own data, control who else can use it or see it, use it to access products and services that interest them, participate in research, etc. and 2) allows companies to find and engage with customers who would benefit from their products, build research / clinical trial cohorts, partner with other companies, build deep learning and AI tools, create personalized products and services, and lots of other possibilities.

Bowhead Health would actually be a great partner to join the BurstIQ ecosystem. The ecosystem would give them access to lots of other types of data that could enhance their personalization algorithms, it would give them end-to-end data management of the biometric, supplement and compliance data, and it would significantly expand the options for how their users could choose to gain value from their biometric data.

Thanks for your comment.  We really don't see either as a direct competitor.  We are probably closer to Gem.

Patientory is essentially a personal health record (PHR), which allows you to aggregate and share your data with providers. What Patientory and other PHRs don’t do is allow users to collaborate, partner and network through an ecosystem. Some examples: With BurstIQ, you can discover new products and services that use your data (with your permission) to provide you with personalized products and services. You can choose to share your data with researchers working on diseases or other areas that are of particular interest to you. There are a million different things you could choose to do with your data, but all of them are under your complete control. As the ecosystem grows, so will the possibilities of how you could put your data to work for you. This is also insanely helpful for companies who need data to support their products or reach customers, but typically can't get it at all (or have to go through 9 months of integration - with each partner). With BurstIQ, they can access data directly and immediately from people who want to share it with them.

We think this has a much larger opportunity because we are supporting both consumers who want to control their own data and businesses who want to access data, customers, etc. The platform is also designed to intake any data type, so while we're starting with healthcare, we could eventually go into other areas where data access and ownership is important: education, energy, water, etc.

I am an investor in Patientory and Bowhead Health. How do you differentiate yourself from these two? Or at least the first one, which is more of a direct competitor, I believe. And pardon me, if this has already been discussed. I can't read 10 pages of a forum that easily

Sitting through a number of sessions at the Hashed Health Distributed Health Conference.  Common theme.  Industry needs the ability for the individual to managed, control, and use their health data.  Specifically, industry needs the ability to support patient consent.  It is great to see so many rally behind developoing a consent based solution.  This is an international requirement.  We recognized this need a while ago, that's why we developed our informed consent contract functionality.  We've had a tremendous positive response ref what we're doing from some pretty signficant players.  We are definately ahead of others.  But we all agree, blockchain based solution is the only real way to manage consent at scale.
