Iryo healthcare blockchain startup to disrupt medical data ownership

Healthcare blockchain startup Iryo hopes to disrupt medical data ownership by giving full control to patients.

Iryo proposes to create a participatory healthcare network with a modern electronic health record system. Refugee camps in the Middle East is its first real-world use case.

By adopting openEHR medical standards and being open-source, Iryo hopes to address the issue of medical record interoperability as well as offer an improved user experience for patients, healthcare workers, managers and researchers.

The problem Iryo faces
Across the world, patients have little or no control regarding how they interact with their medical records. For example, in the UK, GPs and hospitals own medical records – not patients. The same applies in the US. In effect the majority of medical data scatters across different institutions and amongst different healthcare providers – all struggling with a lack of interoperability.

To complicate matters further, many patients may have to see multiple specialists. This obliges them to carry around copies of their records (if they are even provided by their doctors or specialists) as they travel from one healthcare provider to the next.

From a medical perspective, doctors often have little option but to work with incomplete medical histories. This runs the risk of hindering the level and relevance of medical care provided.

The Iryo proposition
By providing ownership of the medical record to the patient, and using a consistent medical standard known as openEHR, Iryo wishes to redefine the value of medical data across the healthcare industry. To do this, Iryo is partnering with an NGO called Walk With Me to provide the IT infrastructure needed to improve the quality of healthcare provided within camps managed by the organisation.

These camps exist throughout the Middle East. The objective is that Iryo will enable patients and their families to store their medical records, securely, within their own mobile devices. Medical records in this form become ‘a bearer instrument’ – independent of identity and always controlled by the holder, the patient. Secure access to medical data exploit blockchain and modern encryption protocols.

Patients will be able to choose how they interact with their medical history. They can:

share medical histories with hospitals, specialists and researchers – and anywhere in the world
selectively reveal what the patients consider to be the relevant parts of a medical record, and with a predefined time limit.
The Iryo Network will become a global repository of openEHR data. Since few people are prepared to provide their medical data to a ‘GoogleEHR’-type of capture, with ‘Google-like’ reaping of users’ data for commercial purposes, Iryo has committed to surrender its own access to the data.

Its solution to mitigating this risk is zero-knowledge data storage resistant to all attacks, including state-actors or ‘inside jobs’. This works by users encrypting their data on their mobile device(s) with a public key. A private decryption key remains on the patient’s device. Whenever someone wants to access patient data (a doctor or researcher, for example) the patient must approve access. This occurs by the patient clicking ‘yes’ in their IryoEHR app which will provide a re-encryption key to the doctor’s public key.

Storage nodes
What increases believability is that patient has the data securely backed up. This happens on two geographically and managerially redundant storage nodes plus the patient’s device:

one encrypted backup copy stays on IRYO cloud node; this is the default backup location (it can be changed by a clinic or end-user to point to another storage API) with the Iryo-offering being centralized in a cloud with tight and audited provisioning controls
a second encrypted copy will stay in the home clinic storage node; with this local copy, a clinic does not need to rely on an internet connection and it is distributed
end user devices (most likely mobile phones) are already all over the world; they are decentralized (not centrally controlled) and protected by their owners (though there must be concern about enough storage for raw data as well as infected or stolen devices).
What does this mean
Patient health records are one of the most sensitive kinds of personal information. Should personal health data leak, it could defame an individual’s reputation, jeopardize employment options, influence insurance premiums, or end up as a marketing tool. All potentially exploit an individual’s health status.

What is interesting is Iryo’s attitude. It perceives the holding of medical data as being a ‘toxic asset’. Too much data in one place presents too large a liability risk.

One challenge will be patient acceptance. The issue here is whether utility will overrule skepticism, especially when mobile devices are so easy to steal. A different challenge will be the medical profession – from doctors to medical staff to the institutions which employ them. Which of these will be most resistant is an open question. In this context the Iryo challenge is immense.

Nevertheless, the Iryo concept, at its most fundamental – patients owning their own medical data, makes sense. The data travels with the problem – the patient. But this does presume that the need for healthcare cybersecurity works.

Did Iryo have something to do with Bitcoin monument in Slovenia ? I saw some Twitter posts..

do u have translation bounty

Refugee camps tend to experience high levels of turnover when it comes to medical staff, therefore the platform needs be designed with this in mind. This resulted in an extremely intuitive, user-friendly yet very robust UI.

When an individual or family relocates to a new camp, they now will have the ability to take their medical histories with them which will automatically improve the level of care they’re able to receive.

As Melissa Mitchell, the CEO of a global NGO Walk with me, said:

“Our clinic might staff a general practitioner, but with the Iryo and Ver2 partnerships, we can now link patients with specialized care in almost any area. This transforms on-the-ground care, while keeping costs low, and facilitating opportunities for medical professionals and education experts to help from anywhere in the world; an incredible way to walk with us on the journey.”

Seriously the president is very interested in blockchain and project ?  So awesome to hear that. Nice project I see you are very busy with conferences spreading the word out.

Read the interview on Coinschedule blog with IRYO CEO, Vasja Bocko!

From reading your thread and the latest information you shared, I think it is a sign that the project is very lively and potentially. Many members are also interested and responded positively. pre sale will start on 28 March right? hopefully will run smoothly, and success.

So this will be the official site of Iryo where patients and everyone can apply ?

Does the company have strategic partnerships with trustworthy sources within the industry?

Read all about our product update, the features of Iryo network and the benefits for doctors and patients using it!

very good. I like projects that promote medicine forward, it is very important, as I believe. in which countries will your platform work?

Medical science has come a long way since the days of washing hands as the primary form of fighting disease. A long way since Mr. Ignaz himself, indirectly insulted members within the medical community with the ludacris suggestion that something as trivial as washing hands was indeed vital. Advances in medicine and technology can be heavily attributed to incredible individuals dedicating their lives to various forms of scientific research.

During the preliminary research phase of Iryo, the team began to define current deficiencies within the realm of medical IT. The inefficiencies of both for profit and non-profit medical research became evidently clear. The decision was made to dedicate a substantial portion of Iryo’s efforts to improving the foundational elements that will be needed in order to improve and advance modern day medical research. This decision has impactful implications on the utility of IRYO tokens. As part of the yearly inflation, Iryo will dedicate a minimum of 50% of the newly minted Iryo tokens to internal or external medical R&D initiatives that will pave the way for new innovative products.

Today, Iryo is thrilled to announce the first R&D specific partnership. Iryo has signed a two year contract with an elite medical institution based out of Slovenia. The Community Health Centre of Ljubljana and its globaly highly regarded Simulation Centre is an R&D focused educational centre. The centre performs cutting-edge research behind the use of advanced simulation techniques within healthcare. Together with the Ljubljana Simulation Centre, Iryo will dedicate a special team of IT-researchers to develop one of the first practical cases of augmented reality in the medical world. Specifically, through the use and application of the Microsoft HoloLens alongside the proprietary simulation software that will be used to replicate life-threatening events as accurately as possible.

Iryo initiated the preliminary research needed in order to assess the impact of combining augmented reality with the use of the HoloLens alongside Iryo’s software and the extensive knowledge of medical staff within the Ljubljana Simulation Centre. We also applied for Microsoft mixed reality program where Microsoft supports the leading inovation in the field of augmented reality. The first publicly available demonstration should take place before Q3 of 2018, exact dates will be published by the Simulation Centre. After that, Iryo will begin to expand on the technology that will help cover additional medical emergency scenarios (planned for Q4 2018) and in 2019 we can expect a bigger push by the AR industry around the accessibility and capability of augmented reality devices, specifically around the use of AR goggles. I predict that 2019 will be revolutionary in terms of the sheer advancement of AR products and solutions.

We’ve come a long way from the beginnings of modern medicine. Iryo was established to play a global part of the never-ending evolution of medical science, hand in hand with incredible individuals from the world of medical research.
