CPQD and MilSênior develop decentralized healthcare data solution

Blockchain and decentralized digital identity technologies are the foundation of a pioneering healthcare project developed by CPQD in partnership with MilSênior , a technology and innovation hub of the MedSênior group , with the support of EMBRAPII .

The principal result of the project was the Minimum Viable Product ( MVP ) of a Blockchain-based data platform that includes patient health information and aims to facilitate secure data sharing and portability between different healthcare institutions .
To achieve this , MilSênior intends to encourage the adoption of other participants in the new solution , which was internally tested for three months by the group healthcare provider .
Thiago Maia , Leader of Health Technology and Operations , MilSênior , said : “ The differential of this project is in validating the solution in a real environment , using the operator as the first case . But this is a public interest initiative focused on improving user care , and that is why the idea is that other organizations also participate .”
Maia explained that recording data on a Blockchain network is essential for the healthcare provider to understand reality , thanks to the availability of reliable , real-time and structured information .
“ This avoids disparities and waste in the provision of healthcare services , as well as contributing to more assertive decision-making ,” concluded Maia .
