  • Patient Data Management

    Store health records on blockchain with each entry timestamped and unalterable once recorded, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized alterations. You will empower patients to control who can access their health data, enhancing privacy and compliance with data protection regulations. Our developers will create a secure infrastructure for storing and managing electronic health records (EHRs) on a blockchain, ensuring the system supports data encryption and is compliant with healthcare regulations (like HIPAA).

  • Supply Chain Management

    Boost transparency and traceability of medical supplies and pharmaceuticals. You will prevent theft, counterfeiting, and tampering with medications and medical devices. You will also facilitate recalls and tracking of products’ lifecycles, ensuring that only safe and approved items are used in patient care. During development, we make tailored smart contracts that automatically update the ledger at each step of the supply chain, which is how transparency is provided.

  • Clinical Trials and Research

    Leverage blockchain smart contracts’ security and integrity to elevate the experience of clinical trials and medical research. As data from clinical trials is recorded on blockchain, it becomes tamper-proof and time-stamped, preventing retrospective alterations that could compromise the study’s validity. We build a system that safely stores this data, employing smart contracts that manage consent and compliance with trial protocols.

  • Medical Credentialing

    Streamline the medical credentialing process by providing a single, immutable record of a healthcare professional’s qualifications, certifications, and career history that can be accessed and verified by hospitals, clinics, and regulatory bodies in a moment’s time. Apart from the decentralized database, our devs will work on interfaces and APIs for real-time verification of credentials by hospitals and clinics, reducing the administrative burden and potential for fraudulent qualifications.

  • Health Insurance Claims Processing

    Automate and secure the health insurance claims process through smart contracts that execute tasks like verification of claims, calculation of reimbursements, and payment processing based on predefined rules and criteria. You will leverage a level of transparency that minimizes potential fraud and lets all the related parties (providers, insurers, and patients) track the status and history of claims in real time.

  • Consent Management

    Ensure compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA and give patients greater control over their personal information with ease: with a tailored user interface for patients, blockchain can serve as a solution for latter to grant, deny, or revoke consents, with a firm ensurance these consents are logged immutably. During development, Devox also integrates these systems with existing healthcare databases to enforce the consents in real-time.

  • Internet of Medical Things (IoMT)

    Devox professionals can integrate IoT with blockchain, forming the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) to enhance the security and reliability of data from connected medical devices. These solutions ensure that data from devices like wearable health monitors or embedded sensors (heart rate monitors, glucose monitors, etc.) can be securely collected, stored, and shared via blockchain.

The decentralized nature of blockchain means there is no central point of failure, while its inherent design employs advanced cryptography to secure data, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized parties to alter or access sensitive information.

  • Have Your Data Reliable

    Make use of blockchain’s immutable nature to maintain the integrity of medical records, lab results, and clinical trial data, ensuring that all healthcare decisions are based on reliable and unaltered information. once data is entered, it cannot be altered, providing a verifiable and permanent record; it also helps prove medical credentialing, minimizing the risk of fraudulent credentials entering the healthcare system and ensuring that only qualified professionals provide care.

  • Make Your Information Operable

    Contribute to the continuity of care and communication between various healthcare systems, especially for patients visiting multiple specialists or transferring their care to a new facility. By using a standardized, unchangeable ledger to store health records, blockchain enables different healthcare providers to access accurate and up-to-date patient information securely. It facilitates a seamless exchange of information, eliminating inconsistencies and gaps in patient health records.

  • Eliminate Unnecessary Expensiveness

    Make numerous administrative processes in healthcare, such as billing, medical records management, and compliance with regulations simpler. By automating these processes with smart contracts, blockchain minimizes the need for intermediaries and reduces manual handling, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. You will not just cut down administrative costs but also speed up transactions like insurance claims processing, harnessing more efficient healthcare delivery.

  • Empower the Patient

    Provide a patient-centered approach that not only enhances privacy but also engages patients more actively in their healthcare management. Blockchain gives patients more control over their medical records, allowing them to manage who has access to their health data and for what purpose. It aligns with global trends towards personalized medicine and informed consent, where patients are becoming key decision-makers in their treatment plans.

  • Keep it Honest

    The transparency and auditability of blockchain reduce opportunities for fraud in healthcare, particularly in billing and insurance claims. Each transaction on a blockchain is recorded transparently and cannot be changed, which makes it easy to track and verify. This helps prevent fraudulent activities such as billing for non-rendered services or duplicating claims, thereby saving costs and increasing trust among all stakeholders.

  • Harness Full Regulatory Compliance

    Comply with stringent data protection laws, such as HIPAA in the U.S. or GDPR in Europe, easily by design. Compliance is simplified as blockchain's features naturally align with many of the principles these regulations advocate, such as data integrity, security, and patient's rights to access their own medical record - all growing from transparent and immutable record-keeping processes.

Key Features

Key Features of Custom Blockchain for Healthcare

01

Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT)

At the heart of blockchain is the distributed ledger, a decentralized database maintained by multiple participants (nodes) in different locations. This ledger records all transactions across the network in a transparent and immutable manner, making it nearly impossible to alter data once it has been recorded.

02

Cryptography

Blockchain uses advanced cryptographic techniques to secure data transactions. Each transaction is encrypted and linked to the previous transaction using cryptographic hashes. This ensures that data within the blockchain remains secure and tamper-proof.

03

Consensus Mechanisms

To validate transactions, blockchain networks employ consensus mechanisms, which are protocols that ensure all nodes in the network agree on their validity. Common consensus mechanisms used in healthcare blockchains include Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT).

04

Smart Contracts

These are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. In healthcare, smart contracts can automate many processes such as claims processing, compliance management, and data access agreements, reducing the need for intermediaries and enhancing efficiency.

05

Peer-to-Peer Network

Blockchain operates over a peer-to-peer network where each participant (node) holds a copy of the entire ledger, contributes to data validation, and can independently verify and audit transactions. This decentralized nature enhances data security and accessibility.

06

Identity Verification

Ensuring that only authorized users can access the network is crucial in healthcare. Blockchain incorporates robust identity verification mechanisms to manage and verify user identities, which is essential for maintaining data privacy and compliance with regulations like HIPAA.

07

Data Encryption

To protect sensitive medical data, blockchain employs data encryption techniques. Data is encrypted before being stored on the blockchain, ensuring that only authorized individuals can access it, even if they gain access to the physical storage.

08

Interoperability Standards

For healthcare applications, blockchain systems need to adhere to existing healthcare data standards such as HL7, FHIR, and DICOM. These standards ensure that the system can effectively communicate and exchange data with other healthcare systems and technologies.
