Using blockchain technology to help securely store patient data and to authorise access to providers from your fingertips. We saw a purpose in ensuring that patient information is easy to access, full control over patient information is essential and transmision of sensitivie information secure.
We have built a web application that allows patients to approve access to medical records stored securely in our own private blockchain run by healthcare providers.
Using NodeJS, Express, PouchDB, WebSocket, TypeScript, Bootstrap, jQuery and UnderscoreJS. We believed that having complete control over the technical implementation of Bloom would allow us to deliver exactly the implementation required desired.
Difficulty setting up the blockchain network initially. Ensuring that all peers are exposed to each other.
We managed to get a functioning blockchain for us to store data in a decentralised way.
Learned a lot about the uses of blockchain and how to setup our own using programming languages we were familiar with.
We'd like to complete all of the requirements we outlined for Bloom one day and hopefully see if the work we put in helps to modernise and make healthcare in the future better.
