Our name has been publicly used since at least summer 2016, which is easily verified by checking Google or even our Twitter account.
Team: check our website at medichain.online. Our CEO and founder has the highest level of academic degree (a D.Phil) awarded by arguably the world leading institution in medical science:
http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2016-09-29-medicine-oxford-named-worlds-best-sixth-year-running with experience in the world's highest rated healthcare system http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40608253.
The team, of course also includes medical field and electronic healthcare record experts. This is also reflected on our website.
Differentiators: MediChain is the only system designed by people with experience in big data on this scale, pharmaceutical drug development and medical research over a number of key fields.
That means that unlike other solutions, which are essentially just blockchain adapted Electronic Health Record solutions, MediChain is a powerful blockchain big data solution by design.
This is MediChain's USP and in doing that, there are eight areas of application of analytics which can improve healthcare: 1) predictive modelling for risk and resource use; 2) population management; 3) drug and medical device safety surveillance; 4) disease and treatment heterogeneity; 5) precision medicine and clinical decision support; 6) quality of care and performance measurement; 7) public health; and research applications. Predictive analytics using big data technology is technology that learns from experience (data) to predict the future behavior of individuals in order to drive better decisions (, i.e., future insights), based on a full picture of associations, for example, across time or a wide geographic area, or observed in a substantial fraction of entire population.
These benefits not only help patients worldwide but make MediChain a natural partner to #ehr and #emr providers rather than a rival in a crowded and highly established market.
One of the great limits to using blockchain in medical data applications is speed. While systems like Visa card processing handle: 24,000 transactions each second, Ethereum can only handle 20 transactions per second. Even the innovative Ripple can only handle 1,500 transactions each second. To overcome this, #MediChain are working on a patent- pending system designed by Mark Baker to allow parallel processing of the medical blockchain, to speed up transactions up to a theoretical increase of 14,400 times with the data planned. MediChain’s approach may allow the speed that will outpace even state- of- the- art systems like Visa - but for medical data.
The MediChain data project has been in talks with national level medical projects and specialist departments all over the world including Rheumatology, Alzheimer's, Epilepsy, as well as a major provider of Electronic Records Systems and major research institutes in · Heart Disease, Alzheimer's Disease, Blindness, Arthritis and Cystic Fibrosis. They expect to announce over a dozen collaborative big data programmes with major institutions from Q2 2018 onward
