Patientory

Chronic diseases account for over 60% of deaths globally. 

Patientory is focused on  the United States market first before expanding globally. There are currently 153 million chronically ill Americans, and of this, 40% are adults. Patients and providers still face challenges managing health data on a daily basis, as healthcare is generalized, not personalized, and data aggregation is limited. Both providers and patients lack the comprehensive data to make the most efficient decisions, as 66% of US citizens have concerns when health data is managed electronically and 75% of hospitals experience inefficiencies in cost and management due to complexity of care. Electronic medical records are not integrated seamlessly across providers and lifestyle data/SDOH is not a component of care plan creation, leading to rising healthcare costs and poor health outcomes. 

Providers, employers, and pharma cannot see the bigger picture due to the lack of interoperability and access across current management systems; they cannot create efficient care plans for patients without access to all patient data. This lack of access, interoperability, and personalization has resulted in an increase in chronic illnesses, data breaches, and fines, and a decrease in patient satisfaction and quality of care.

Democratizing individual ownership of the world’s health data and incentives to improve health outcomes

Patientory empowers our users with actionable insights from health data, incentivizing them to take control of their health outcomes.

Patientory Inc. is a population health data management and analytics company. Through its two decentralized applications, the Patientory mobile app and enterprise software tool Neith, Patientory Inc. provides patients with access and insights and enterprises with comprehensive healthcare data, analytics, and AI- driven clinical trial recruitment management across systems to improve population health outcomes and employ personalized care plans that consider the entire history of the patient, including the social determinants of health. This is achieved by integrating a blockchain enabled platform to gather and analyze siloed healthcare data to employ care plans that consider the entire history of the patient, including daily lifestyle factors, and in turn, reduce the cost of care.

Patientory offers a mobile, blockchain-powered, decentralized application designed to facilitate patients and its users with convenient and secure access to their health information. The mobile dApp compiles patients’ hospital records, lab results, and wearable device and genomic data,  among other personal health data across multiple care teams and facilities, creating a unified and comprehensive wellness profile of the patient’s entire history. We aggregate comprehensive data across systems to equip individuals with targeted insights and recommended steps to maintain, improve, and maximize their health on a daily basis. 

The Neith enterprise solution is a disease agnostic, HIPAA-compliant, big data analytics platform, providing health management solutions for enterprise customers. Neith integrates seamlessly with the consumer-facing mobile dApp Patientory to help integrate lifestyle data into care plans, streamline value-based care initiatives, and provide risk-mitigating analytics for enterprises and their patients. 

Patientory is built on the PTOYMatrix, which ensures that all healthcare data is immutably encrypted, including facilitation for individual data consent management, and will remain protected in a secure and decentralized manner.

Our increased interoperability improves care coordination while ensuring data security, minimizing health breaches and penalties and decreasing IT expenditures. When used together, both platforms work synergistically to improve the quality of care plans and reduce the cost of care.

We utilize a B2B2C SaaS subscription model.  

For enterprise, we target companies engaged in clinical trials (for patient recruitment, monitoring), as well as organizations involved in insurance, employers, and healthcare providers. For our enterprise customers, our secure interoperability improves care coordination and the ability to mine large healthcare data sets. Through machine learning (specifically, predictive analytics) and the PTOYMatrix blockchain-enabled interoperability network, our solutions break down silos to improve workflows and care coordination for the entirety of the healthcare ecosystem. 

Our synergistic consumer app solution tackles enterprise issues as well. The patient/consumer is able to see their electronic medical records, lifestyle data from wearable devices, and social determinants of health data on one platform. Patients are able to track and improve their health via predictive analytics, gamification/incentives, and a health score. Increasing patient satisfaction improves outcomes and reduces costs for enterprise. 

We engage our potential customers in surveys, questionnaires, and case studies to ensure that our solutions target their specific pain points.

Patientory is tackling siloed data management and incomplete information through predictive analytics and a blockchain-enabled health information network. Our solutions are built on the global blockchain-enabled PTOYMatrix and work synergistically upon this infrastructure. This harmony is what drives our solutions' value propositions to break silos, enhance interoperability, and in turn, improve health outcomes across global populations. 
However, healthcare is a sector that is traditionally slow to adopt new technologies. Predictive analytics, blockchain, and digital health are all new innovative technologies to the healthcare sector. So far, we have built a robust network of partnerships across healthcare providers, clinical trials/pharma, and insurance/employer organizations. We have harnessed corporate partnerships to build our pitch and use case. Partnerships have been key to our marketing, launch, and growth plans, as we must build trust and educate our consumer as we pitch our solution that relies on these new technologies. We are trying to get more funding to improve our product, and acquire more customers, potential partnership opportunities.

Patientory is one of three HIPAA compliant platforms utilizing blockchain, big data and machine intelligence to enable enterprises to understand consumer health data. It is the only company to offer on-chain healthcare population analytics, on top of a specific healthcare blockchain and has been able to achieve this with a fraction of the funding received by its competitors.

Patientory is one of the first movers using Blockchain technology in the Health IT market (out of both corporations and startups), and provides a solution for both patients and providers. Our products are built on the PTOYMatrix network, a HIPAA-compliant blockchain enabled Health Information Exchange & Storage network, administered by the Patientory Association, which facilitates the secure and encrypted storage and exchange of private health information. Through our innovative technology that enhances interoperability unlike any system adopted in the market today, Patientory is also pioneering ease of use in patient data management.

We can integrate into the major EHR systems: Epic, Cerner, Allscripts, Meditech, and Athenahealth with AI services to provide better insight. Our company utilizes advanced analytics and machine learning from real-time patient-generated data captured from our application to provide predictive, personalized, and prescriptive recommendations for patient care and healthcare cost reduction. 

Patientory will bridge the gap between holistic, quality care and access through enhanced interoperability and knowledge of the social determinants of health. Patientory’s virtual monitoring will enhance patients’ and providers’ knowledge of preventative care and the holistic, consistent review needed to treat chronic conditions. Simultaneously, Patientory will pioneer the adoption of blockchain technology in healthcare, creating a safer future for patients and providers to share data.

Our technology allows for the integration of electronic medical records and social determinants of health data on one platform for both patients and providers. Our solutions target all populations, while aiming to make healthcare more equitable for vulnerable populations through the integration of the social determinants of health into care. Patients will be able to manage their health records and improve their daily health at a lower cost. The personal health score is our key metric. Each patient will be evaluated based on their current health condition and their lifestyle to generate their health score which is improved over time as the patient follows the recommended care plan. Patientory recruits for clinical trials; our solutions can be used for clinical trial management.
