The Role of Blockchain Technology in Ensuring that Patients have more Control of their Medical Records

Data in this modern era, is widely attributed to be the next “oil well” of the current and future generations to come. Data can be generated in every facet or sectors of life as there is hardly any human activity that works without needing or generating some forms of data. Furthermore, data is a very sensitive fact that needs to be guarded jealously and secured properly especially in this era of digital world.
When one visits the hospital for health related reasons, large chunk of sensitive data about the patient is usually generated, these patients' data could be their bio data, past and current health records etc. However, most patients are only concerned about the health related issues raised from these data, leaving issues such as the security or likely abuse of these health records which are centrally stored in the various health institutions, the rights of data ownership and usage on the part of the owner of the data i.e the patient and the risks involved in frequent visits made by the patients to access their medical records stored in their respective health institutions or hospitals.

Introducing CUREStoken
CUREStoken is a health care blockchain based solution that aims to apply the gains of the blockchain technology into the health sector in order to remove the bottlenecks that hinder patients in having an appreciable control of their health records or data alongside removing / reducing the risk associated with the patients’ frequent visits to these health institutions all in a bid to access their centrally stored health records in these health institutions. Can you imagine the situation or scenario where one's medical records would be living on the blockchain networ? This situation makes it possible for patients to have more say on the usage of their health data because any record that lives on the blockchain network brings about the state of decentralization over the record, this implies that since the patients' health records are not centrally controlled by these health institutions, medical patients can now determine what they can use their health records to do; this makes it much more possible and easier for patients to monetize these their health records by selling them to research institutions which use these vital data on health to carry out their research work…..thanks to CUREStoken for this financial empowerment to patients via the blockchain technology.
Although the hospital is an institution where patients receive treatment and healing to their ailments, however, some patients with low immune system could equally contract some diseases in hospitals where there are poor medical facilities and processes during the course of their visits to these health institutions to access their centrally stored medical records. CUREStoken solution has come to put an end to this ugly situation, by allowing the patients’ health records to be decentralized on the immutable blockchain network; patients would no longer have the need to pay frequent visits to hospitals in order to access their records because the decentralized nature of the blockchain system allows all parties concerned (the health institutions and patients in this case) to have an equal say and access to these health data / records in a transparent and secured manner……kudos to the CUREStoken health solution!!!

CURES: This is an ERC-20 standard compliant utility token in the CUREStoken blockchain fired ecosystem of which can be used by its holders to pay for any services rendered on the CUREStoken ecosystem and can also be traded in the crypto exchange market.
