Our Solution
The problem
In most low-and-middle income countries and for people on the move there are no central or national healthcare systems with electronic medical journals in place. Today most records are completed manually using pen and paper with the risk of losing the documentation. This means that there is a high risk that patient data will be lost between treatments, or in transfer between treatment units and facilities. Resulting from a lack of or insufficient records of symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments, today patient do not get optimal treatment.
Our solution
Our solution is to empower all citizens/patients through providing them with a user-friendly tool, My Personal Health Bank, available in a web application that will help them keep track of their most important healthcare related data, including completed and planned treatments, diagnoses, tests, medication, allergies etc., and secure safety of treatment.
“the patient data is fully patient-owned”
Furthermore, healthcare providers using our solution will optimize treatment, safety and efficiency by a full overview and updating of the patient’s health data, including follow-up during treatment.
This means that our end-users are both citizens and public/private healthcare providers, giving patients access to their own health data and health care providers a tool to optimize treatment.
Uniqueness of our solution
The uniqueness of our solution is that the patient owns his/her health data saved in the cloud and is accessed through a web application. During a visit to the healthcare provider the patient allows the healthcare provider access to his/her health data. The patient continually has the right the grant, limit and reject access to his/her health data, meaning that the patient data is fully patient-owned. When the healthcare provider updates the records they are available for all subsequent diagnosis and treatment by any healthcare provider (public and private) granted access by the patient, improving continuum of care.
Importantly, our solution is designed to keep both patients’ and healthcare providers’ data secure and in respect of personal privacy. System-independent and open standards are also key components integrated in our solution.
