Hi yudi09, thanks for reaching out to us! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
The existing healthcare system is too dominated by the big institutions and health organizations who put their own benefits ahead of the patient's’ welfare. The lack and/or limited reach of transparent medical information and services puts the future of healthcare ecosystem in a serious trouble. The current healthcare system around the world is facing the following issues:
- Lack of expert doctors
- The unreliability of medical information
- Low-quality medical services
- High medical cost
- The added cost of medical agents and intermediaries
- The limited reach of proper healthcare services
- Institution-centered medical services
There are many other healthcare problems in different parts of the world. Medipedia doesn’t promise to solve all these issues, but the platform will surely help a lot of medical consumers get the correct and reliable medical information and services. It aims to develop a healthcare ecosystem which is consumer-oriented.
Here’s how Medipedia plans to create an innovative medical service ecosystem:
- Decentralization of the patient/hospital treatment records
The blockchain based platform will allow decentralized access to the treatment records of patients and hospitals to anyone with the right credentials. This will not only fill the gap of incomplete information but also it will improve the efficiency of medical services. - A dedicated medical service platform/app
Medipedia will be launched in the form of a complete medical service/information platform that can be accessed on mobile or desktop and used for finding reliable medical information and services and connecting with service providers in a convenient way. The platform will be further equipped with features and services like in-app automatic transaction, high-security of data and information, in-app payment via MEP tokens, online medical consultation, match and compare, latest news, bilateral review system, secure data storage, built-in tourism & travel services, interpretation service, medical insurance and service alliance, and more.
Benefits of the blockchain technology in Medipedia
Decentralized information system
The blockchain technology helps Medipedia establish a decentralized medical tourism service platform with predefined rights for patients. The platform can be used by medical consumers to find and connect with reliable medical providers and vice versa.
Transparency
One of the benefits of the use of blockchain technology is that all the medical information including patients’ history and records from various medical care services are recorded on a secure blockchain and can be accessed by the consumers.
Increased security
The blockchain technology adds to the security of the Medipedia platform by enabling an encryption system through which the information of medical consumers is protected against unauthorised access, use or hack.
Easy Accessibility
Medipedia maintains a distributed database of patient/medical information that can be accessed anywhere and by anyone (with access rights) via an internet connection. No need to contact separate medical providers or hospitals in order to access the information/records of specific patients.
Reliability
The information, as well as the services, provided through the Medipedia platform are cross-checked for reliability and accuracy on a regular basis. The data is added to the records only after its integrity is verified through various means.
Interoperability & Comparability
Last but not the least, Medipedia provides access to various third-party applications that can freely connect with the platform and/or develop their own applications on the Medipedia API.
Medipedia also maintains a vast record of medical providers and doctors, which consumers can search through to find and compare relevant medical services. Consumers can also send a request asking for more details about a particular medical provider, who in turn can respond with the information. The Medipedia app can also be used for booking appointments with any of the available medical providers within the platform.
In-app Payments with Cryptocurrency
Another benefit of the use of the blockchain technology is that the platform now has its own cryptocurrency — Medipedia Token — which consumers can use for making payments for various services and purchases within the application.
So, the above points and discussion clarify that Medipedia is indeed a true blockchain-based solution to most, if not all, of the existing problems in the healthcare industry.
