DSM Bitcoin & Blockchain Meetup: MedBlox - Health Records and the Blockchain
Details
This month we are excited to be hosting Dr. Somchai Rice, Co-Founder & CSO of MedBlox!
We all know that one of the most difficult industries to support in our country is that of healthcare. From the deeply polarizing opinions, to the copious amount of red tape, nothing in the healthcare field is easy. This is especially true when it comes to handling patient information.
However, MedBlox is working to change that! Founded right here in Des Moines, MedBlox is creating the worlds first decentralized, secure, fully encrypted, and legally compliant means of exchanging electronic health information.
This technology enables the free flow of health information by allowing patients, guardians, or health proxies to validate and actively manage their existing electronic health records. It allows you, as a patient, to actually own your own health records.
Further, it helps remove the burden placed on providers when dealing with possession and compliance, allowing them to focus on continuity of care, improving quality of life, and empowering patients in active disease prevention.
Overall, MedBlox is working to create huge improvements in the healthcare industry. And, best of all, they're doing it from right here in Des Moines!
We hope that you are able to join us as we learn more about MedBlox, and their amazing mission.
