Patientory is an Atlanta-based healthcare startup, which launched a blockchain-based distributed electronic medical record (EMR) storage computing platform named “Patientory”. This application works as a network/bridge that connects isolated, and centralized EMR systems.[1][2][3] In 2017, Patientory won the title of MedTech Innovator 2017 at Southeastern Medical Device Association Conference (SEMDA) 2017 held in Atlanta.[4]
Overview[edit]
Patientory was established by Chrissa McFarlane in 2015.[5]
Patientory acts as a software as a service (SaaS) platform which, lets its users create individual profiles to store their medical information.[2] Through this app, users are allowed to connect with other patients with similar health issues.[6] This healthcare app allows patients to interact with their physicians, keep a track of their medical history.[7]
This organization launched the world’s first healthcare cryptocurrency, PTOY in April 2017[8].[9]
In June 2017, Patientory raised a $7.2M token sale from 1,728 individual purchasers. [2]
Technology[edit]
Patientory uses Blockchain technology which is in compliant to the HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of the US).[10][6] This technology is said to encrypt the data of patients in hospitals and insurance companies, and the technology is compatible with EHR systems like Allscripts, Meditech, Cerner, and Epic.[11]
Distribution nodes manage blockchain technology for keeping a copy of files that are less susceptible to hacking.[11]
