Does this project really need to be on a blockchain and if you think so, convince me why it should be on the blockchain, thank you.
Hi mastery.jimmy,
We really appreciate your words. A blockchain is an online network of records that maintains and verifies each of the transactions made using a cryptocurrency. The records, also called blocks, are secured through cryptography techniques.
The blockchain technology can help create a decentralized medical tourism information database that could be securely accessed and used by medical institutions and patients. The blockchain will protect the data from tampering and also removes the need for any centralized or intermediary service/person, thus reducing the cost of medical services. Medipedia.io is based on the similar concept.
So why Medipedia are using Blockchain technology? The Medipedia platform uses blockchain to create a decentralized medical tourism information and service system that can connect the medical consumers and patients to reliable healthcare services for information, appointment and treatment. The decentralized blockchain helps reduce the cost for medical consumers while improving the quality and reliability of medical tourism services.
The reason why Medipedia project is focused around creating a decentralized database of medical information is that only this method can ensure the complete transparency of the information which can be accessed by anyone in the need. As of now, most of the medical data is controlled by hospitals and cannot be accessed by medical consumers seeking accurate information about service providers. Medipedia platform is aimed at decentralizing all this information as it believes that this is the only way to solve the existing problems of the medical industry.
