MedibBloc Is Decentralizing Medical Data And Putting The Power Over Patients Records In Patients Hands. .
About MEDIBLOC
Introduction.
I must confess, when i heard about MediBloc, i was happy and grateful for a couple of things. One of them was the development of the blockchain technology. I have seen a lot of positive development that were built and only made possible by blockchain: From flawless p2p sharing of data to an effective avenue for exchanging your cryptocurrencies, all were made possible through the blockchain system.
One of the other things i was happy about was MediBloc. After researching and reading about the innovation, i discovered that MediBloc was just what the medical industry has been waiting for in terms of effective records keeping. I know everyone will definitely share my point of view after reading through this article. So, let's dive straight into how MediBloc is changing the medical industry through the use of blockchain technology.
What Is MediBloc ?
MediBloc is a platform which is built on the blockchain system. The goal of MediBloc is to give patients control over their medical history data, and to also give them control over who has access to their medical data.
There are various problems associated with patients medical history data, among them are the following;
Not recording negative discoveries.
Not recording substance of exchanges about the dangers and advantages of proposed medications.
Not recording drug sensitivities or unfavorable responses
Not recording the consequences of examinations and tests
Not reading the notes when seeing a patient
Making critical remarks
Changing notes after the an meeting with a patient
Wrong patient/wrong notes.
Apart from the problems mentioned above, there are other problems that MediBloc has come to tackle. In recent times, most people's business take them far and wide, even just visiting a new doctor could require patients to undergo the same sets of tests they've had over again. This is tedious to the patients and could even result in a result that is not as detailed as the previous tests done or maybe something was missed in the recent test done. All this and more is resolved by MediBloc.
Is It Better For Patients To Have Control Over Their Own Medical Records?
My answer is definitely yes. As the data record is about the patient, the record is his or her property. Patients having control of their records bring broad advantages: better educated, more engaged patients; a more developed specialist patient relationship; shorter meetings; less mistakes; and a method for coordinating administrations, to put it plainly, there are better medicinal services, enhanced results at low costs.
Patient records have been viewed as the property of clinicians or their foundation. In the past, there have been various discussions on patients having full control and access to their medical records. The argument that was always put forward was that since medical records used in various researches were under anonymity, there was total patient safety and privacy.
Focusing on this analogy, it is apparent that patients do not really benefit from their own records, while the medical research industry, a multi-billion dollar industry reaps from patients data without asking for permission from patients. With MediBloc, patients are assured of full control over their medical records and who they give access to over it. Patients can also choose to share their records for research purposes, gaining emotional satisfaction in the process. Users of MediBloc can also trade in MED and MEDX, the two tokens currently traded by MediBloc .
How Will MEDIBLOC Impact The Way Medical Data Is Used In The Industry And Other Relevant Parties?
When a patient visits a new doctor, there may be need for new tests to be conducted. Variance may occur between previous tests and new test. This variance may either be the discovery of something new that'll aid the doctor in determining what's wrong with the patient or miss something crucial to the patients health. The latter is something that MediBloc tackles efficiently.
The blockchain technology among it's many advantages aids MediBloc, thereby aiding medical research. With the capacity to allow users to effectively share their data for research, doctors will find it easy to compare past data of a patient with recent findings. This will aid better diagnosis and ultimately better prescriptions.
Taking The Insurance Industry Into Consideration.
Building healthy and solid communities
By now we'll have understood how MediBloc is changing the medical industry's database. How about how it's affecting other fields positively. Let's take into consideration Insurance.
With an effective patient data records storage, a lot can be achieved. For instance, insurers can utilize information to recognize and help people who are in danger of developing chronic and otherwise costly ailments before indications or symptoms even start showing up. This data can be utilized by health services suppliers to create persistent training and wellbeing projects to keep individuals healthy.
What's more, specialists can utilize information to recognize people who have a perpetual ailment and need assistance. For instance, teaching diabetics on the significance of going by their doctor's for occasional foot checks is a financially savvy approach to diminish the quantity of diabetics who require expensive amputations and restoration in light of the fact that their illness has advanced. This is a very effective and cost reducing way of insurance. With MediBloc, this is made possible.
Once MainNet Is Launched, What Is The Effect Of Having Established Partnerships With Major Corporations On The Integration Of MediBloc?

How Is Decentralized Medical Data Storage Superior To Traditional Medical Data Storage?
Security.
Centralised medical data records is liable to hacks and threats. There have been lots of instances over the years where medical records of patients are hacked and vital information lost.
With the advent of blockchain and decentralized records, security is well assured for patients. They can have full confidence because they and only those they've given permission can access their medical records.
Tests.
There are needs for lesser tests to be carried out since you can easily present the results of your recent tests to another doctor in another part of the world. This leads to easier access to records with permission of the patients and makes it easier for doctors to make diagnosis.
Account Flexibility.
MediBloc gives users full control over their medical records. Check out the image below to view the levels of people who has various degree of access to medical data;
All information can only be accessed with the permission of the data owner, except in case of emergencies, in which case family members and next of kin give access to medical records to medical practitioners who use the records to take adequate and required steps.
