Service: Enabling the transparent exchange of medical records

Responsible organisation: Groves Medical Group (Private sector)

Medicalchain, a blockchain platform that enables the transparent exchange of medical records by patients and doctors, partnered with the London-based Groves Medical Group to Proof of Concept a blockchain programme in its four medical centres. The Proof of Concept allowed Medicalchain to gather feedback from doctors and patients that they will use to refine the programme before its global launch. Groves’ registered patients were be able to create a free wallet that will hold and manage access to their health records. Video consultations were also be available to patients, offering the flexibility to see their doctor at a time and place suited to their needs. The platform gives patients the option to pay for services using cryptocurrency, with users being incentivised to pay for telemedicine services with Medicalchain’s MedTokens.
