Why use cHEART
DATA SECURITY
cHEART is built on BigchainDB, a distributed ledger technology where security is inherent in the system.
There’s a mountain of evidence to show that medical data kept in a centralized database is prone to a data breach. Cases in point, a data breach in 2018 happened to 220,000 Malaysian organ donors and their next-of-kin, 80,000 of private medical information was also stolen from a medical association.
In Singapore, 1.5 million SingHealth patients data including its Prime Minister was stolen in 2018, and in January 2019, 14,000 HIV patients data were exposed detailing their name, address, HIV status, and their next-of-kin.
Storing medical data on a blockchain would address this due to its distributed ledger technology.
DATA PRIVACY
cHEART is designed in compliance with PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act 2010) and GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation) to further protect your privacy.
Built on blockchain technology, the smart contract is designed for you to allow access to any of your private health information to a specific third party within a specific stipulated time. You get to control with whom you wish to disclose your health data.
DATA INTEROPERABILITY
Currently, healthcare providers deploy different types of EMR systems which limit data sharing between them due to non-compatible data structure. This causes our medical record to be kept in a silo across multiple hospitals/clinics we visit when seeking medical care. It makes it difficult for us to access vital information during an emergency or when seeking a second opinion from a different doctor.
By keeping medical records on cHEART, you will be able to keep your longitudinal data to get an accurate diagnosis and better treatment.
