The use cases for blockchain in healthcare will start in small projects that reduce duplicative work but can eventually shift to a system where patients control access rights to their data.

BIRTHVENUE BLOCKCHAIN IN HEALTHCARE Getting your organisation on blockchain
WHAT IS BIRTHVENUE? Very few organisations know the real fundamentals of Blockchain, and even fewer have the requisite resources and talent to execute. However, what is true is that everybody wants to embrace it. Birthvenue is a blockchain-as-a-service provider. BirthVenue assists management teams in understanding the fundamentals of blockchain technology by creating industry-specific case studies as references to use cases. Our team of engineers develops elegant blockchain solutions and platforms to empower successful businesses into new technology spaces. Our lawyers on board will help clarify all regulatory requirements to make sure operations are within the purview of the law.
PROBLEMS TO TACKLE IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY 1. The current digital infrastructure for healthcare services does not fully support the security or interoperability that is inherently necessary. 2. Electronic health records (EHR) tend to be separated by health agencies, making it impossible to determine a patient’s medical history without consulting their previous care provider. 3. The current systems to store electronic health records are centralised, exposed to control & manipulation resulting in data theft/leak.
The duplicative and distributed nature of the blockchain makes it perfect for enhanced security. W H A T C A N B L O C K C H A I N O F F E R ? EHR's are stored in the organisation’s existing databases and/or on cloud computing systems. A hash is created from each source of data and is redirected to the blockchain along with the patient’s public ID.  Smart contracts are used to manage patient data access.
It creates absolute trust between distributed participants of the infrastructure (Healthcare service platform, Doctors, Hospital/clinics and Patients). Its transaction layer can enable instant access to a diverse set of standardized, anonymous and non-patient identifiable information. Transparency and automation can also lead to higher efficiency and lower administration costs. W H A T C A N B L O C K C H A I N O F F E R ?
BLOCKCHAIN FEATURES - No single point of control. No single point of failure. Decentralised control via a federation of voting nodes makes for a P2P network. - More than just tamper-resistant. Once stored, data cannot be changed or deleted. - Set permissions at the transaction level to ensure a clear separation of duties and enforce selective access. Decentralisation Immutability Permissioning - Design a private network with custom assets, transactions, permissions, and transparency. Customisable
B L O C K C H A I N E C O S Y S T E M From a base context of a centralised cloud computing ecosystem (left), Blockchain can be added as another database to gain some decentralisation benefits (middle). It also fits into a fully-decentralised technology stack (right). CENTRALISED DECENTRALISED
A POTENTIAL ROAD MAP Short-Term Medium-Term Long-Term Closed consortia, pilot projects, no patient data System that can scale with permissioned stakeholders and handle patient data Patient driven system with master health records and access rights in the hands of patients Use cases for blockchain will start in small projects that reduce duplicative work but can eventually shift to a system where patients control access rights to their data.
