Inficurex

Affordable And Accessible Healthcare

InficureX provides affordable and accessible healthcare. We believe in providing our users with the most accurate, comprehensive, and curated information and care possible so that they may make better healthcare decisions.

InficureX uses blockchain technology to build a user-centric electronic health record while keeping a single true version of the user's data.

InficureX allows users to provide healthcare professionals access to their personal health information. InficureX's distributed ledger then records interactions with this data in an auditable, visible, and secure manner.

Finally, InficureX is a platform on which others may create apps that complement and enhance the user experience.

Users will be able to use their medical information to fuel a variety of apps and services.

InficureX is a decentralized network that allows for the safe, quick, and transparent exchange and use of medical data. We employ blockchain technology to establish a user-centric electronic health record and to keep a single true version of the user's data.

Users will be able to provide conditional access to various healthcare agents such as physicians, hospitals, labs, pharmacies, and insurers, allowing them to engage as they see suitable.

Each contact with their medical data is auditable, transparent, and secure, and each transaction is logged on InficureX's distributed ledger. The patient's privacy is always maintained throughout this procedure. InficureXis built on the permission-based Hyperledger Fabric architecture, which lets users to choose who may see their information, how much they see, and for how long.

We can co-create the future of healthcare by empowering consumers. InficureXwill serves as a platform for the development of additional digital health apps; users will be able to sign up for these applications and services, which will be powered by their health data and protected by smart contracts. InficureXis now working on two apps to complement the platform: a doctor-to-patient telemedicine app and a health data marketplace.

Our team is a unique one: a perfect blend of clinicians, engineers, developers, and visionaries from the world over. We have nine different nationalities representing us,  each bringing their personal views and experiences of healthcare in their respective countries.

In today’s world, users expect an instantaneous and seamless flow of data. Many industries have adopted, or are beginning to adopt necessary technologies to guarantee their users’ expectations for instant information. Unfortunately, the healthcare industry has lagged behind. Legacy systems are burdensome,  slow, often vulnerable, and have little role for the patient. 

Fragmented Health Services 

Health data contained in legacy systems are siloed and difficult to share with others because of varying formats and standards. In short, the current healthcare data landscape is fragmented and ill-suited to the instantaneous needs of modern users. As a result of this, stakeholders are incentivized to keep their own records,  and no single version of the truth exists.

Lack of Patient Centricity (passive user) 

The relationship between healthcare professionals and patients has long been a paternalistic one. In recent times, however, there has been a significant shift of authority. 

Medicine is being democratized and patients are more empowered. 

It is now considered reasonable to seek a second opinion and  patients are expected to contribute to decisions made about  their treatment choices.  Even in single-payer system like the UK’s National Health Service  (NHS), patients have the right to choose where and when they  receive their care. Thus, with patient mobility comes the need for  information mobility. In order to be provided with the best care  patients not only can, but must have control over their own data.

Dual Blockchain Medicalchain

A dual blockchain framework is used to build Medicalchain. The first blockchain, created with Hyperledger Fabric, governs access to medical records. The second blockchain is powered by an ERC20 token on Ethereum and serves as the foundation for all of our platform's applications and services.

Hyperledger Fabric

The Hyperledger blockchain network operates on a permission-based model.

It requires people to sign up in order to use it. Hyperledger modeling and access control languages are used to govern network permissions. Hyperledger Fabric is a framework for distributed ledger solutions built on a modular architecture that provides high levels of confidentiality, resilience, flexibility, and scalability.

Medical information is frequently highly sensitive, both socially and legally, hence a closed block- chain like Hyperledger Fabric helps to maintain the necessary privacy for such an application.

Because it supports several layers of per- mission, Hyperledger Fabric is a better choice for managing access to health records. This means that the owner of a collection of data may decide which parts of their data are accessible.

Smart Contracts and Ethereum

Ethereum is a digital platform on which hundreds of powerful computers from across the world collaborate to host the Ethereum network. The blockchain of Ethereum represents all accounts and transactions done by its users.

When you send Ether, Ethereum's money, to another user, those computers act as accountants by validating the transaction's validity. The money is subsequently transferred once the verification is approved by the "accountants."

passed to the other user, ensuring secure, transparent, and conflict-free transfers Smart Contracts are pieces of code that are stored and executed on the Ethereum blockchain. Within the Ethereum network, anything that can be programmed ordinarily may be programmed.

Smart Contracts may automate and validate processes that would ordinarily require a professional or notary in a completely transparent and secure manner. For example, the average physician spends 3.8 hours per week on billing and insurance-related tasks. Consider the cost reductions if these procedures were carried out using Smart Contracts and confirmed by the Ethereum network.

Traditionally, an inquiry or test should be sought and scheduled only if it would result in a different probable diagnosis or alternative treatment plan. Even when the findings of an inquiry or test are returned, they are seldom shared broadly with all of the health professionals engaged in the patient's care and are usually isolated, or siloed, at the institution that requested them in the first place.

As a consequence, the patient's quality of treatment declines. Other institutions may not be aware of a patient's whole history, which may result in inaccurate decision making, delays, and excessive expenditures for the patient or health institution. In the worst-case scenario, these medical mistakes may be lethal.

Makary et al. (2016) discovered at the American Johns Hopkins Hospital that medical mistakes are the third highest cause of mortality in the United States and that "most errors involve systemic issues, including poorly coordinated treatment."
