A decentralised platform to exchange and use medical data. Medicalchain put the patient in control of their medical data, giving them the power to share the single, most comprehensive version of their record, with every organisation in their medical network. Fragmented, siloed patient records create inefficiencies and inaccuracies across the breadth of the healthcare system. Medicalchain uses blockchain technology to securely manage health records for a collaborative, smart approach to healthcare.
