dClinic: BLOCKCHAIN BASED COMPREHENSIVE HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM


Blockchain and Healthcare Industry

It is not strange to find some folks explaining blockchain technology as a simple method of payment. Until this very moment, many people still do not know that blockchain has a much greater use than just cryptocurrency. The blockchain is mostly designed to function as a digitized, decentralized ledger that specializes in recording digital transactions and exchanging private data such as value, goods, and services.

Blockchain development caused a stir when the rave began a few years ago. Initially, it was all about the fuss which was only witnessed within the tech sector. But today, it has become evident that the several other industries will adopt the revolutionizing technology seeing that it has branched out to other sectors. Basically, everyone is looking to remain current and competitive in their respective industries.

The blockchain revolution has made its way to the healthcare industry, and it’s only the beginning of what’s possible. Healthcare Rallies for Blockchain, a study from IBM, found that 16% of surveyed healthcare executives had solid plans to implement a commercial blockchain solution this year, while 56% expected to by 2020. Healthcare companies, tech innovators and the rest of the healthcare industry are grappling with what’s possible now and what blockchain could solve in the future.

The overall vision for blockchain to disrupt healthcare in the future would be to solve many issues that plague the industry today to create a common database of health information that doctors and providers could access no matter what electronic medical system they used, higher security and privacy, less admin time for doctors so there’s more time to spend on patient care, and even better sharing of research results to facilitate new drug and treatment therapies for disease.

dClinic Project Overview

dClinic is a Singapore based company which combine Clinics and Hospital Assets with a Revolutionary Digital Healthcare Platform for the delivery of Healthcare, Wellness and Vitality Services.powered by Blockchain Technology. The Shared Care Planning (dClinic’s platform) will enable all care providers, including the patient themselves, to contribute, follow and update their healthcare progress, the healthcare delivery system will become significantly more effective and rewarding.

dClinic aims to solve the problem of current healthcare system. Most clinics and medical facilities today follow a one-on-one model of patient-provider interaction which puts the provider (clinician) at the centre of a patient’s care. The problem with this model is that it does not always easily allow providers to consult with other healthcare givers and then follow the patient’s progress as part of a holistic shared care plan. This model is rigid and creates the data silos which prevent collaborative efforts for positive healthcare outcomes.

On dClinic's Shared Care Platform, the patient is at the centre of their care and the care is provided by care team members who could be providers, clinicians, specialists, organisations and even family members. dClinic believe that this solution will contribute significantly to improving service delivery. The Shared Care platform will facilitate cross-sharing of the recorded history of the patient’s health for devising a meaningful longitudinal healthcare plan.

dClinic’s position as a one stop platform can bring the much-needed transformation in the healthcare sector. An array of clinicians, service providers, caregivers, thought leaders, and governments, through dClinic’s platform, can work together to enable the fulfillment of a patient-centred healthcare delivery system. dClinic aims to demonstrate this in emerging markets in partnership with local providers and government bodies.

In addition, beside its Shared Care Platform, dClinic is currently expanding its Care Team-to-Patient telemedicine application to work alongside the platform. The telemedicine application will enable users to consult with their Care Team remotely (for example, on their phone) for a small, possibly even reimbursable, fee.
