One of WellAI\u2019s founders was trying to change his PCP a few weeks ago.\u00a0 He was finally fed up that he was treated by his old PCP as a number.\u00a0 He needed to manually fill out an Authorization to Release of Health Information form and bring it to the office of his new PCP.\u00a0 Then it took weeks for the new PCP to finally get his medical records.<\/p>\n

What if there was a way to share your medical records with your doctor and then later revoke that access with a click of a button?\u00a0 After all, this is your medical data.\u00a0 No doctor, no hospital, no EHR owns your medical data.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n At WellAI, we are working on the first Blockchain for Primary Care.<\/strong>\u00a0 Fortunately, we have some of the original blockchain mathematicians on our team.\u00a0 (And no, neither of them is Satoshi Nakamoto. \ud83d\ude0a)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We want to protect patients\u2019 data.\u00a0 We believe blockchain is the best platform to accomplish that.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blockchain is a permission mechanism that empowers patients.<\/strong>\u00a0 Patients can share their highly encrypted medical data with their doctor by sending permission key to the doctor, so the doctor can access the patient\u2019s medical records or only certain parts of patients’ medical records.\u00a0 Just as easily, the patient can revoke that permission key.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n In our ongoing educational series, Daniel Satchkov, head of machine learning at WellAI, explains how WellAI\u2019s blockchain works.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n https:\/\/youtu.be\/X6bqN48GcoQ<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are at the very beginning of understanding applications of mathematics and data science in medicine and other fields of life!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stay healthy!\u00a0 Stay knowledgeable about your health.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n WellAI Team<\/p>\n
