Decentra Med

D-Med is a decentralized solution for Electronic Medical Records sharing systems (EMR). It uses Ethereum network and IPFS technology at its core, giving you complete control of your data. Only authorized people and registerd Medical Institues can acces your records.

Why Choose D-Med:

  1. The entire system of D-Med is based on blockchain technology. Hence it is practically un hackable.

  2. There is no actual person behind the organization. It is a smart contract, making it transparent to the public.

  3. All the media is stored on InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) network. Making it completely safe and private.

The Problem

An electronic health record is defined as an electronic version of a medical history of the patient as kept by the health care provider. But it consists of some major security and privacy flaws.

  • Potential Cybersecurity Issues : The data of the patients lies on a centralized database, which are prone to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and single point of failure
  • Privacy of Patients : If the database ever gets hacked. The data of the Patients can get leaked into the world which is unethical. Centralized systems are vulnerable to privacy attacks as well.
  • Inaccurate Data If an EMR is not updated immediately, as soon as new information is known, such as after test results come in, anyone viewing that EMR could receive incorrect. This could lead to errors in diagnosis and treatment.
  • Time and Money It also takes time to demo EHR products and negotiate with EHR system vendors to choose and implement the right system for your practice.

The Solution

D-Med provides a decentralized easy to use Electronic Medical Record system(EMR). It is a free to use web application providing a feature rich as well as interactive UI making it easy to use.

  • Minimal Security Risks As previously mentioned. We use Ethereum Network for our computation making it very safe and secure. - There cannot be a single point of failure.
  • Complete Privacy The application used IPFS technology for storage of patient’s data. Every patient can control who can access their data. Only registerd Organizations and verified Medical Institute can access your data.
  • Verifies Admins For a Medical Institute to participate in this shared system, it need to be verified by one of the admins. Same goes for the Organizations. They require proper medical and identity license to be succesfully registerd.
  • Non Profit D-Med is a free to use, non profit system. One does not need to buy this software. It is available for everyone. There are some public open feautes which can be accessed by anyone, be it admin, owner or someone visiting the website for he first time. All that is required is a crypto wallet.
