DeHealth App - AI & Medical Data-Based Mobile App

The healthcare sector relies extensively on historical data, from areas of product development to direct patient care. However, the current architecture carries a number of flaws which affect the speed and quality of care provided by industry professionals.

Blockchain technology advancement in data security, traceability, and speed are revolutionising the Financial, Logistics, and E-commerce industries while DeHealth is a front runner for bringing blockchain technology into the healthcare industry.

With smart architecture, blockchain-based data solutions have the potential to dominate a market. Similarly, different standards of electronic healthcare records prevent frictionless processing of patient-related data for use in personal telemedicine use cases. The solution to this problem is to introduce a new web 3.0 protocol architecture for the future standard of a medical big data-driven ecosystem.

As it is rightfully mentioned in Prize’s call, technology can be a powerful tool for optimizing the well-being of people living, not only those with rare diseases but everybody. And technology in the hands of the health care providers can support clinical decision making to serve their patients more effectively.

If you are looking into innovation, we believe we could really surprise you with DeHealth. Decentralized storage for health data and digital assets, data Oracles protocol, incentive layer, and metaverse for healthcare. Web 3.0 Medical Data Economy!  

DeHealth’s mission is to make healthcare more efficient by building a WEB3 platform for medical data, to provide equal access to medicine for all people, regardless of country and income level.

Our DeHealth App -  AI & Medical Data - Based Mobile App, decentralized application (dApp) that allows users to securely and autonomously store their medical data in one storage, share, manage and monetize it using the DHLT token, support their health while selling their anonymized data.

The component “architecture” of DeHealth consists of:

• DHLT Network, a decentralized storage for health data and digital assets, data oracles protocol and incentive layer. The DHLT protocol is digitalizing and securing the global health data for everyone. The storage receives daily clinical, medical and personal data on the health status of people (users), de-identifies, structures and integrates in one network. 

• DHLT is the native token that supports the DHLT Network, a decentralized storage for medical data and digital assets. With DHLT, anyone can upload and store their medical data, receive and host digital information, and sell their anonymized data. DHLT tokens are used to pay for services inside the DeHealth App and as an economic incentive to secure long-term storage of health data and its constant supply.

• DeHealth AI learns from all data from the DHLT Network, helps develop predictive systems based on big data analysis, and provides users with an effective technological tool for affordable and preventive medicine. DeHealth AI improves the global healthcare industry.

• DeHealth Wallet, a universal payment card for healthcare issues.

In particular DeHealth is not only aiming to hand over  control back to the user – meaning, where the user goes, data follows. DeHealth has created a digital medical ID, a functional encrypted key where users can store all of their medical information.

DeHealth AI is helping to develop predictive systems based on big data analysis. It monitors all patient tests, displays real-time data from medical gadgets, and reports the slightest abnormalities to prevent disease.

DHLT Network provides all the tools necessary for the user to easily and safely sell their data to research institutions, labs, and university partners. Patients will finally be able to receive remuneration for their data. A single data input could earn a patient between $5-1000 per sale.  

The medical industry has been prone to virus attacks: DeHealth applies a multi-layered approach that focuses on preventing attacks as well as mitigating the effect of ransomware. The first level of security is during the input data validation. The second level encrypts the data using top tier banking-grade encryption methods to prevent any unauthorised access. Lastly, data is recorded in the DHLT Network making it immutable and secure in the private chain. Private blockchain structure protects DHLT Network from any external threats. DeHealth Network utilizes POA and all the nodes are run  internally on secure server networks. DeHealth Network has certificates from external security audit.

All data in the DeHealth App is encrypted and stored in a decentralized way which opens up the possibility for data holders to be independent and autonomous. 

Dealing with medical data, the most sensitive and valuable asset in the healthcare industry, DeHealth prioritizes the security of data storage by complying with data protection and security standards including Data Protection Law, GDPR, HIPAA, Data Protection Act. High-grade cybersecurity of the application and the data inside of it is guaranteed by the internal development team as well as independent experts such as Hacken and ethical hacking communities.

DeHealth’s brand in Ukraine, SaaS platform ASKEP, is already trusted by over 35,000 doctors and 3,200,000 patients from all over the world - and this is just the beginning of the disrupting approach from DeHealth, which is aimed to provide patients and the whole healthcare industry with the secured storage for medical data operations and the financially attractive tool. We believe that technology should be useful not only for the industries, but for each private user as well. 

DeHealth decided to make it possible for 3 billion people all over the world by 2025 to operate with their medical data securely and controlled — storing, sharing, managing, updating and monetizing it.

The core team should be mentioned as those who made possible the whole idea of DeHealth happened. It’s scattered all over the world: Chief Legal Officer is in New York, R&D manager is in New Zealand, Chief of Business Development  is in Switzerland, CTO of our AI solution is in California, and CMO is based in Baltic region.

A number of well-known experts are involved as Advisors to speed DeHealth’s rapid development. Ralf P.Gerteis, Scaleswap CEO who is dedicated to empowering DeHealth with deep knowledge of blockchain and navigating the project in the most disruptive technology. Alex Philippin, an early consultant in many current top-100 projects such as Elrond or TerraFurthermore and current Head of the Samurai Launchpad and Head of BD at CyberFi, is advising DeHealth on go-to-the market strategies. Philippe Gerwill, Digitalization Humanist, Futurist and an Innovation KOL, who spent about 30 years in global roles in big multinationals and mostly in the pharmaceutical industry, joined DeHealth’s Advisors pool as well with a purpose to help us to share some of his broader expertise in healthcare and across various countries and continents. 

We started working together with the leading universities to create a powerful R&D for the digitalization of healthcare and the standardization of approaches to the safe donation of medical data.

Healthcare is a massive $8.6 trillion industry which includes everything from pharmaceutical companies and hospitals to mental health applications. Experts predict that the market will grow by plus/minus 12% annually through the 2020s. The medical data market has been valued at $30b in 2022 and is expected to triple over the next 10 years due to growth in AI applications, data-driven preventive medicine applications, and drug development. Today, the healthcare industry is built on historical data, and industry growth has been increasingly reliant on a larger, more extensive and more reliable data set. However, both users and providers operating in the healthcare segment face the following challenges.

Disease Prediction, Prevention & Treatment

The medical industry is in the early stages in adapting Big Data and statics for direct patient care. AI, complex algorithms, and ML are being used almost everywhere today, and medicine should be no exception. A study by a group of researchers revealed how combining AI edge computing with swarm learning can detect cancer from patient data while preserving patient privacy.

DeHealth AI is helping to develop predictive systems based on big data analysis. It monitors all patient tests, displays real-time data from medical gadgets, and reports the slightest abnormalities to prevent disease. Technology is helping medicine to be more proactive, and the future lies in preventative medicine. It is now time to shift from reactive sick care to a healthcare era in which a person will not need be treated for illnesses and their consequences because they were prevented in time, and any abnormalities are corrected  before the disease has had time to develop.

Data accessibility and centralisation

A lack of healthcare culture is provoked by patients' limited access to healthcare (geographical, financial, technological factors, including low awareness of cryptocurrencies). According to the UN, more than 3 billion people worldwide do not have access to healthcare data and medical help. The world has already embarked on a data economy journey, but most of the time without individuals having access or real control over our own data. Data is half of the entire health care solution. If the problem of lost and inaccessible records can be solved, accidental deaths may possibly be reduced by 40-50%.

DeHealth is not only aiming to hand over  control back to the user – meaning, where the user goes data follows.  DeHealth has created a digital medical ID, a functional encrypted key where a user can store all of their medical information. This means that if a patient undergoes treatment and tests in different parts of the world he/she will have the ability to receive and share the results in real-time. This cost facilitates the ability for doctors to provide remote care and take actions in critical situations. This structure is also becoming a relevant solution to the problem of public access, especially in times of war and global pandemic. By unifying and attaching the data to the patient we can expect faster, precise, and timely care, improving the lives of users and medical professionals.

Data security

According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information, from 2005 to 2019, almost 300 million people suffered from healthcare data breaches. The number of such violations in healthcare is more significant than in any other industry. Based on a report by Trustwave, a healthcare data record may be valued at up to $250 per record on the black market. Thus, people lose not only their private information, but money as well. 

The cybersecurity of the industry is its vulnerability. Most breaches tend to focus on the theft of financial records and other forms of personally identifiable information (PII), with a growing number of incidents beginning to target healthcare workers. The most serious and recent attacks were the WannaCry virus, the NotPetya attack, the NHS, Wood Ranch Medical ransomware attack, and most tragically, Duesseldorf, where a misdirected ransomware attack caused the failure of IT systems harming hundreds of patients and causing multiple casualties. 

The medical industry has been prone to virus attacks: DeHealth applies a multi-layered approach that focuses on preventing attacks as well as mitigating the effect of ransomware. The first level of security is during the  input data validation. The second level encrypts the data using top tier banking-grade encryption methods to prevent any unauthorised access. Lastly, data is recorded in the DHLT Network making it immutable and secure in the private chain. Private blockchain structure protects DHLT Network from any external threats. DeHealth Network utilizes POA and all the nodes are run  internally on secure server networks. DeHealth Network has certificates from external[A1]  security audit (Reffer to 3.5 for further information)

Data Flexibility 

Any integration is a long and expensive process: medical data and patient history are scattered across multiple platforms, and therefore, cannot be reproduced cohesively. Under such conditions, doctors are forced to work at the same time in 3, or even 5, different systems, filling out the same information. This poses a challenges for both patients and doctors, additional administrative costs arise when data is transferred between systems, or in most cases, patients and doctors are forced to re-run medical tests due to a lack of data compatibility within the medical information system (MIS). 

DeHealth dApp centralizes medical data in one system by utilizing a uniform cross-platform information system. This system records the data from different sources onto one platform, which may be simply and seamlessly shared by the User with verified medical professionals. Furthermore, by leveraging our relationships in the healthcare industry we integrated MIS into the DHLT network which synchronizes patient data in real-time. The blockchain infrastructure provides traceability that is necessary for use in electronic medical records, remote patient monitoring, medical EHR systems, and so on. The data architecture is designed so that DeHealth can communicate, gather, and share verified medical data with any MIS in the world, creating a patient driven electronic data sharing information system.

Data verification

In the present Medical Information System (MIS) architecture the data verification process is mostly manual and extremely time consuming. Medical professionals spend ⅓ of their time iterating with data in the MIS, which is then verified by at least one other professional. This time could be better spent taking care of patient’s needs. In addition, when labs, universities and hospitals acquire large datasets, each set has to be manually checked by a medical professional. This process is so extremely time-consuming that many hospitals employ medical record/data specialists which cost over $2.5 billion per year in the US alone.

In the last twelve months, telemedicine has attempted to tackle the problem of data verification by centralizing internal communication, offering a better UX and UI to save time for both patients and physicians. Web 2.0 architecture has proven to be absolutely necessary, recording a market surge from $9.2 billion to $12.5 billion in a span of 3 years. DeHealth has adapted this telemedicine model and combined it with the speed and safety provided by Web 3.0 architecture, cutting onboarding time, initial investment, and running costs by over 50%. Once data is verified and input into the blockchain, it cannot be changed by any stakeholders and includes  necessary provenance records, consequently, providing the reliability and traceability which today’s data market so desperately needs.

Protection of user rights and Compliance 

Protecting data in the healthcare industry is no easy feat. Healthcare providers and their business associates must balance protecting patient privacy with delivering quality patient care and meeting the strict regulatory requirements set forth by HIPAA, and other regulations, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Because protected health information (PHI) is among an individual’s most sensitive (and for criminals, valuable) private data, the guidelines for healthcare providers and other organizations that handle, use, or transmit patient information include strict data protection requirements that come with hefty penalties and fines if  not adhered to. 

The system is built in compliance with both HIPAA and GDPR.  This ensures that information is depersonalised and attached to the User’s unique ID. All types of information is heavily encrypted, and medical and personal information are separated. The system operates with fully encrypted internal IDs and external keys, thus  DeHeath insures that the data always remains anonymous. Moreover, users will have the option to turn off access or delete data that is no longer relevant to them, as well as prioritize one data source over another.

Data monetization 

Reliable Data has never been more valuable in the medical industry than it is today. Health professionals can now generate data-driven healthcare solutions to improve patient outcomes in many ways. These include empowering patients to engage with their own health histories with easy-to-access medical records and informing providers of patients' ongoing health status so they can in turn assess treatment methods faster. Monetization has been one of the largest challenges in the medical industry. However, the question remains - who profits from the sale of this precious data?

One of the largest injustices in the current data market is that the originator of the data does not receive anything for their precious information. Hospitals, big pharma, and medical data exchanges are the only stakeholders that directly benefit from a patient’s medical data. DeHealth fixes this injustice, and gives each individual control and ownership of their data. In addition, DHLT Network provides all the tools necessary for the user to easily and safely sell their data to research institutions, labs, and university partners. Patients will finally be able to take receive remuneration for their data. A single data input could earn a patient between $5-1000 per sale. 

There are several companies on the market with a similar approach. Compared to our competitors  we have clear advantages on 11 points.

DeHealth decided to make it possible for 3 billion people all over the world by 2025 to operate with their medical data securely and controlled — storing, sharing, managing, updating and monetizing it.

1. The number of active users in The network (DeHealth)

2. The number and volume of transactions in the network - data purchase, etc.

3. Growth of capitalization of DHLT (native token)

4. The number of active token holders (currently 500 people)

DeHealth’s mission is to allow for 3 billion people to securely gain control of their medical data – to store, manage, and monetize it with the help of the DHLT Network and DHLT native coin. The solution to this problem, the challenge, is to introduce a new web 3.0 protocol architecture for the future standard of a medical big data-driven ecosystem. Implementation of tools such as Solidity code running on Ethereum mainnet, and other EVM networks such as Python and JavaScript libraries, will ease higher-level integration and facilitate community data marketplace decentralised web applications.

The DeHealth initiative is to make medical data operations fully controlled by patient/user (medical data holder). Thus user controls: 

• all data that is provided and stored by medical centers, laboratories, and securely recorded in the user's DeHealth app with the help of patient's ID and access to the API.
• the access to the structured and depersonalized data by all interested parties with the help of DHLT token.
• the access to the data by family members, attending doctors, or any other authorized official body.
• scientists and dApps developers who can securely read and access anonymized health data using a single set of APIs.

Users have full control over their data and its privacy, which allows them to see which applications record their data to DeHealth ID and which applications request access to their data. The more applications request access to users' data, the more DHLT tokens data holders receive.
