Currently, 35-40% of medical data is unencrypted, and communication in the healthcare field is incredibly slow. PokitDok aims to fix that, by creating a healthcare API platform on the Ethereum blockchain that can securely and swiftly store and transmit medical information throughout the healthcare system. Their technology is used by over 600 insurance companies, 1000 third-party apps, and 95% of the tele-health field, and has all necessary compliances, including HIPAA. They have three main blockchain innovations–identity by consensus, autonomous auto adjudication, and supply chain management for pharmaceuticals–all with the ultimate goal of giving consumers control over their own private medical data. Their innovations have wide-ranging implications not on the in the healthcare field, but in the financial industry and beyond. For more information, visit www.pokitdok.com.
