INTRODUCTION
Over the years civilization through the invention of internet has made the world a global village whereby purchase of goods and services are done, differs activities in banking, agricultural and engineering sectors are done on decentralized and centralized internet platforms. Despite all this development in our society, some patients were given handwritten medical prescription which was a typical example of PAPER BASED RECORD (PBR) and that has been a major challenge that has brought about the discovery Of ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD (EHR) or ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD (EMR) which is a centralized, systematic,and computerized collection of health information which are electronically stored in digital format.This information are shared between different settings through network connected enterprise with wide range of information system such as vital signs, radiological images, medical history, medication, etcetera. EMR or EHR brought transformation of health information system from paper base to centralized platform whose Challenges are
• Poor storage due to centralization
• Slow adaptability and waste of time
• Lack of confidentiality and privacy due to centralization
WHAT IS MEDIBLOC
Due to this challenges Dr. Allen Wookyun and Dr. Eunsil Lee whose background are medicine and engineering brought about MEDIBLOC as a medical platform that will develop its own blockchain which will help to puts the control of medical data back into the hands of patients to ensure proper delivery of pertinent information needed to maximize the care, Doctors can provide to the patient. Medibloc aims at simplifying medical processes by allowing patient to share their data with relevant parties.
MEDIBLOC brings scattered pieces of individual data and making the system customer centered through the introduction and harnessing of PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD (PHR) as opposed to EHR OR EMR.
MEDIBLOC has 3 types of account namely
• General users Account
• Health care providers Account
• Data researchers Account
HOW MEDIBLOC PUT AN END TO EMR CHALLENGES
MEDIBLOC ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF HIGH COST
This is done through storage of data in a decentralized data base whereby users can access their data without being charged from companies and corporation. Individual data is encryptedand stored using private key thereby giving access and ownership to customer in order to reduce
MEDBLOC ADDRESSING THE SLOW ADAPTABILITY AND WASTE OF TIME
This is done by giving an open source platform which is freely connected thereby enhancing interperability by support of various format instead of standardize format enforcement so that developers will be liberated to manufacture codes that will support other format on platforms by so doing the saving the time of a patient and adaptability shall be raised through the use of differs applications
MEDIBLOC HARNESSES LACK OF CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVACY DUE TO CENTRALIZED PLATFORM
A section of medical oath called HIPPOCRATIC OAT OF MEDICINE said that data should be confidential but the present EMR and paper based record (PBR) cannot maintain it’s confidentiality because of how it’s security risk of hacks and theft of data I called it Hipocratic theory because it’s claims to have solve unsolved issues but thank God for MEDIBLOC whose aim is to encourage security and safety of data through the autonomous power of patients over their medical data thereby possessing the right to decrypt, store, and collect information through blockchain and this will bring transparency through recording the activities of everyone that accessed the information on blockchain so as to do a way with threats of hacking and make it safe
Impacts of medibloc on modern society
Medibloc is impactful in cases like emergency Here the Doctor will give treatment baseline the previous medical history of diagnosis or medication stored on decentralized blockchain developed by medibloc thereby saving time and cost .
Coupled with incentives one can exchange ones medical information for tokens with research institutions if access is granted thereby
causing an elimination of fraud, theft and leaks of medical data system
in a situation whereby one is not satisfy with the treatment of a particular Doctor he or she can as well approach another Doctor if he or she has medibloc apps in his smartphone that will have the storage of his or her medical data.
Advantages of medibloc to ENR and Paper based record are
• Medibloc makes editing process easy unlike paper based
• In terms of security paper based record are unsafe In case of any disaster or fire outbreak and the confidentiality of the data is not possible
• Medical record with personal health record has an edge over paper based record and electronic medical record because it’s centralized and stored on drives.
• Accessing personal health record could only be done when the owner has granted the access instantaniously through blockchain.
• One can also make gain through exchange of medical data for tokens with research institutions.
