Healthureum to Address the Lack Medical Data Integrity in Current Healthcare System

Healthcare Institutions are the places that we supposed to be reviving our lives by overcoming different kinds of ailments. But it is quite disappointing fact that currently, this Healthcare sector is suffering from over 340 cybercrime cases all over the world. The UK and the US jointly have a loss of resources over $279 billion just because of the fraudulent cases. Such crimes have haunted the Healthcare industry and have also brought its quality to a lower level.


There have been a large number of fraudulent cases in the Healthcare industry in which activities of many specialized Healthcare practitioners have brought into the question by the court of law. Also, the practitioners who have just begun the career in Healthcare industry are found to be accepting the bribes in order to illegally release the patient medical data and information. Within the list of frauds, patients are also being charged more than the actual price for the services rendered. Healthcare professionals are taking advantage of patients’ distress as patients don't even bother about asking for a summary of medical bills. Not only fraudulent cases but sometimes mistakes in data entering also lead to wrong treatment. This ultimately increases the inefficiency of Healthcare industry.

In Japan, only two doctors were made available for a population of around 2000 people in 2012. You can imagine the concentration level and attentiveness of the doctor who is attending such a large number of patients on a weekly basis. In such condition, it seems almost impossible to record the medical data of all the patients accurately and attentively.

In current Healthcare system, the Health Information Exchange (HIE) has been given the responsibility for the electronic exchange of medical data in between medical centres and Healthcare institutions. Although the officers associated with HIE try their best to make sure that the data is distributed appropriately among the Institutions their Information sharing systems are not as efficient as they should be. The EHR systems that are being used currently for storing medical records have provided a better solution than the paper storage but their vulnerable nature has made them prone to various cybercrime cases.

How Healthureum Provides a Better Solution?

The project Healthureum makes use of an innovative technology that possesses a strategy for maintaining the integrity of data in the Healthcare industry. Healthureum offers a strong alternative to the current data storage system that prevents unnecessary leakage of medical records to the public while also protecting the medical transactions from different kinds of fraudulent cases. Let's have a look at how Healthureum can help the healthcare sector.

With Usage of Blockchain Technology

The Healthureum system is a Blockchain based healthcare management platform. Blockchain ensures that all the medical data is captured, stored, managed, and retrieved appropriately. This technology guarantees the tamper-proof storage of data without any fear of external manipulation. This security feature makes Healthureum quite reliable than the current EHR system.

Not only security but Blockchain also enables healthcare sector to transfer documentable data quickly and quite easily. This technology keeps the hackers and cybercrime experts away. It stores the patient data in chronological order. Some of the parts of the US and India has already started utilization of Blockchain technology but rest of the world still requires this technology to be in action.

By Facilitating Data Systemization

The current EHR system makes use of bits and pieces mode to store the medical data which provide a significant number of loopholes to the cybercriminals to infiltrate the medical record system. To overcome this drawback data systemization facility is provided by Healthureum system. Data systemization is a feature of any system that makes sure that medical records are secure.

Data systemization also makes sure that there is no duplicate data for a single patient that is the case with current EHR system being utilized. Also, the Blockchain technology makes sure that patient medical data stored on a network is encrypted with codes.

Medical Data Interoperability Assured

Interoperability is the ability to collaborate and share data among different medical institutions for offering the required treatment as well as to support different research programs. Healthureum allows medical institutions to share patient medical records easily by taking approval from the patient and thus contribute to healthcare delivery efficiently.

Healthureum has the vision to support medical institutions with complete integrity of patient data thus enhancing the efficiency of healthcare services. In addition to data integrity, Healthureum will be playing a great role in making healthcare accessible to everyone around the world.
