MyDoc.AI
Robust blockchain health record repository and telehealth
Our platform provides a secure repository and a means to crowdsource medical data and experts and offers the opportunity to manage/monitor healthcare activities. This will ensure easier access to medical data among physicians and researchers. Data is predicted to overtake oil/gas as the most valuable enterprise with medical data being among the priciest.(https://amp.economist.com/leaders/2017/05/06/the-worlds-most-valuable-resource-is-no-longer-oil-but-data)
In addition to huge economic impact, numerous healthcare benefits are discussed below
1. Accessible high quality healthcare from anywhere via Telehealth .Both city and rural/low income citizens,traditionally urban doctors in developing countries are stressed since all major healthcare delivery must be done in cities. Also highly skilled physicians in cities have little to no motivation to deliver high end care to rural and low income citizens. Via remote Telehealth means and locally trained assistants using smart phones and tablets(for those citizens who are illiterates), we solve this problem. A rich database means a richer healthcare service provider via incentives from governments,industries and researchers eliminating the problem of no incentive from city healthcare providers. With comparable or better rewards now, these physicians get to deliver healthcare to everybody.
2. Precision Medication tailored to individual variability. Medicine is much more efficient when environment,genetics etc are statistically modeled,a robust database makes this a lot easier to accomplish. Without data well funded and the best surgeons fail to deliver regardless of their rich resources. A recent famous example is NBA great Dikembe Mutombo's foundation that brought an 8 year boy over to remove tumor from face, this guy dies on operating table for no fault of anyone. The missing piece;a myDoc.AI platform to know about his rare genetic reaction to anesthesia. This could have been easily researched with a click of a button and scan through the boy's family history on myDoc.AI health record repository which can be accessed anywhere there's internet and permission from patients and healthcare providers.

3.Early Detection/Prediction of diseases. Via our IOT wearables, patients become more sensitive for early detection and prediction and they can go to hospitals for specific diagnosis and confirmatory test. This way diseases are cheaper and easier to manage
4. Financial empowerment of patients since they are incentivized to take good care of themselves and also can sell their medical data since physicians and health institutions will need the patient permission before accessing their data
5. Measurable and trackable healthcare record for easy statistical modelling,disease surveillance and research

Our innovation leverages Blockchain technology and Artificial Intelligence for recording patient healthcare data in realtime. Its is the first of its kind in the use of healthcare data for disease control
The innovation also involves a Linkcard that ensures user(patient) specific health data protection. An analogy is a debit card from bank where we have a history of all banking transactions and can analyse our finances with ease. This Linkcard ensures a more secure and accessible data sharing among.
Our design starts with a wearable device that creates a health environmental personal network that manages and monitors data from vital signs recorded in this network using cognitive computing and decision support tools, This data is securely stored in our cloud system
Voice enabled interactive system. Our voice enabled interface will mimic exactly what is done when these people go to hospital while we do all the complicated technology at the backend
There’s automated workflow integration. And AI powered bots are constantly memorizing routine medical interrelated procedures and automating the tasks. Also our machine learning algorithms are giving insights into activity on our system in order for us to create a more efficient workflow. Blockchain secured system prevents any intrusion and allows easy and seamless transfer of data
We partnering with MTN and Konnect Africa to offer satellite WiFi hotspots so we have coverage over entire country.
For users with low literacy our interactive voice enabled local language that mimics local interpreters takes care of them so all they need is innate excellence(see,touch and listen) the same way they can watch tv and listen to radio on their local dialect and stay informed that’s the UI we have
We project a decrease in death from Poverty related diseases and diseases that can be treated from early detection. We also hope to reduce health disparities in Africa by having broad representation in medical and population genetic data. This creates an opportunity to discover new drug targets. It also gives us new biology that can be used for those that don’t necessarily suffer from the disease in that way. This will save lives and reduce the cost of treating preventable diseases and contain disease outbreak before they become widespread.
