Health Wizz, the mobile application provider, launched a blockchain-powered platform that enables consumers to securely aggregate, organize, and share their medical record data. Users of the platform will be able to download their health data from various sources, including wearables, lab reports, doctors, and hospitals. This data can then be shared with physicians, personal trainers, or researchers. The platform could be an effective tool for both consumers and providers by addressing some of the issues that have plagued the electronic health record (EHR) market, including data security and interoperability. For example, users will have access to all of their medical data, which isn't the case with EHRs due to lack of interoperability, and this data can be shared with providers even if EHR systems are down due to security issues.
