It helps to decentralize data in healthcare. Currently, the healthcare providers/organizations put up silos.
Our blockchain will do two things:
1. Give the patient control of their own data.
2. Incentivize them with our token that we can take as payment for their prescription co-pay at every pharmacy in the U.S.
On chain, it will just be a hash of their adherence profile, token transaction, and whether it is a controlled substance or not.
The patient can provision who does and doesn't have access to it.
Patient health data is sold all of the time. Large organizations are monetizing data and the patient never shares in that.
With Hyperledger, the patient can approve who has access to their data...rather than ScriptDrop selling it to the highest bidder.
Companies put in a request to us, we reach out to the patient and get their approval/denial and report back to the requestor. If they are approved, they send the patient tokens and get access to the data requested.
It's all stored on the blockchain. The patient knows at all times who has access to their data and how they are using it. It's how healthcare should've always been.
Ok, sounds reasonable. Why can't you just create a database and give patients visibility? And create a simple app to allow them to dynamically set who has permission to use their data?
Then you run into the same issues. Who has control of that database if ScriptDrop goes out of business or gets purchased? Is the data lost? Who owns it?
Blockchains can survive after the company perishes. Whether ScriptDrop is growing and innovating 5 years from now, shouldn't have an effect on whether the patient can get customized healthcare or not, based off of their historical data.
