Topic: UAE Healthcare Provider to Store Patient Records on a Blockchain (Read 408 times)
February 23, 2018, 09:49:36 PM
Will this blockchain be public or private? I can see issues with having health records stored on a public blockchain that anyone could look up.
It's fine for things like land ownership records, which are public and anyone can look up already. But medical records...?

alot of people think that health records cant be decentralised because there is so much data and it just cant fit on a blockchain.
this is because most people only see the data within a blockchain in the format of a financial transaction:
[in: 1Fr0m4p3r50n value: 0.01btc]
[out: 1t04p3r50n value: 0.01btc]
[signed: 1Fr0m4p3r50n5sign4tur3]
now imagine
[Doctor: 1Fr0m4p3r50n patient: 1t04p3r50n symptom: insomnia result: yes]
[signed: 1Fr0m4p3r50n5sign4tur3]
[Doctor: 1Fr0m4p3r50n patient: 1t04p3r50n symptom: pregnant result: yes]
[signed: 1Fr0m4p3r50n5sign4tur3]
[Doctor: 1Fr0m4p3r50n patient: 1t04p3r50n symptom: HIV result: no]

Yeah an imaging report would never fit on the blockchain. IPFS is a good solution for this though. We can just store simple referents to the data on chain and store the vast bulk of information in IPFS.

Bitcoin will not be used, because patient records are confidential. They said that they would be developing a blockchain-based technology for
this, so you would probably see another private blockchain-based technology. Bitcoin will be great for information that can be shared
in public. Agreed, this is not Bitcoin, but it shows what Blockchain technology enabled.

i think this forum needs a subcategory next to altcoins where the category is named hyperledger. so we can throw all these topics about government/banker blockchain stuff in there.. as its all to do with hyperledger

The storage of Electronic Health Records (EHR) in the United Arab Emirates could soon be revolutionized after the development and implementation of storing patient records on a blockchain.
A partnership between UAE Telecom du, a telecom and broadband provider and NMC Healthcare, a major private healthcare provider in the region will be the first to introduce blockchain technology into the management of patient information within the UAE, according to a report by regional tech publication ITP.
Some of the core characteristics of blockchain technology, including data integrity and immutability, trust and security have long been touted as the next significant disruptor in the healthcare industry. Other efforts of a blockchain-based healthcare network have already started to take shape.
Blockchain Enables Immediate Access to Patient Records
The healthcare provider will be able to securely record and store medical health records on a blockchain, ultimately leading to more efficient interactions with patients with the seamless retrieval of records. Further, the simple feature of digitizing health records from paper that can then be shared among other hospitals over a blockchain could prove critical in situations where time and patient care is of the essence.
Dr. B.R. Shetty, founder and CEO of NMC Healthcare stated:
We believe the results of this initiative shall improve our patients’ data management processes, reduce administrative costs and also help us in serving our patients in a further effective manner with accurate information for better diagnosis and treatment.
A majority of patient records including blood test reports and x-rays remain on paper, according to Carlos Domingo, chief innovation officer at telecom giant du. The lack of shared access to patient records could result in unwelcome delays for providing healthcare at other hospitals. The solution, is the error-free domain of a distributed ledger platform, according to the executive.
Domingo added:
By digitizing all health records, and putting them in Blockchain technology, data can be shared and distributed across all hospitals. We are looking at fully digitizing the health system with Blockchain technology to assure data integrity with zero error and guarantee end to end accountability of the patients’ records.
The UAE is quickly proving to be a hotbed for blockchain development and implementation, across a number of industries. Blockchain solutions have been sought in the precious stones industry to curb conflict diamonds’ trade, e-Voting among participants of Abu Dhabi’s securities exchange and a multi-layer rewards program.
The most obvious example of endeavoring to implement blockchain technology in the region is the Dubai Government’s initiative to see all of its documents on a blockchain by the year 2020.

One of Guardtime’s notable tasks includes developing a blockchain-based cybersecurity solution for the UK’s critical infrastructure, that includes the likes of nuclear plants, the electricity grid and flood defense systems.
The blockchain-based security provider also jointly won a $1.8 million contract from DARPA to develop a blockchain-based monitoring system.
