Cardano (ADA) on How Blockchain Increases the Fluidity of Data

cardano ADA blockchain

Cardano Foundation recently published about the health care data of patients on the blockchain. They pointed to how patients’ and health care providers’ data are separated by a complex network of relationships stored in siloed databases that can’t communicate with each other.

Cardano is now proposing a method to make things more efficient. Pointing to how traditional healthcare systems do a poor job when it comes to sharing the “patients’ health records” across channels eventually have a slow response registry for medical professionals.

The project the problem of poor data sharing about the health care sequence of a patient:

The primary care physician prescribes medication for allergy to a patient.  The details of this data is stored in the database. However, when this patient goes to the emergency room for surgery, then the hospital should know about the kind of allergic reactions which the patient might have. At this point in time, the details of the allergies rests in the database of the primary care physician. 

After the surgery is over, when the patient returns to the primary care provider, the PCP will now need access to the kind of care he has been receiving in the hospital.

The friction and hiccup in the process can be best solved if the patient has a medical record that is verifiable universally. For reasons related to privacy, the patient should own their health data and it helps if the patient has the facility or technology to share the details of his health record to the doctor and the hospital consisting of all the treatments he has received from different health care providers.

There are also inefficiencies of the registry meant for medical professionals.  The hospital was in dire need of epidemologists.  When it comes to onboarding qualified health professionals and recruiting them during the pandemic, there is a “Talent Management Paradox.” To get talent to where it is needed quickly and efficiently there needs to be an efficient system of database with details of correct credentials and licensing.

The pandemic has reinstated on the importance of needing to have a better technology to solve problems and inefficiencies in sharing patient data.

The top reasons cited for blockchain being a tool to improve health data management:  “The blockchain allows health data and identity to be owned and controlled by the owner themselves. It also allows this data to be shared with third parties if the owner chooses to do so.  Since the user is the owner of their data – rather than the health providers or insurance companies – the blockchain can offer a system that incentivizes the users to share their private data with clinicians and governments.”

Thus blockchain improves on the fluidity of data permitting distributed skills and talent registry of medical professionals to be accessed by companies looking to hire qualified people.
