During my volunteer service at a community hospital, the experience of an AE deeply moved me regarding the current situation of uneven distribution of medical resources. She hesitated to undergo an MRI scan due to the high examination costs and long waiting times. This scene reminded me of an emerging medical ecosystem.



The core of this system is to integrate decentralized medical resources using blockchain technology. It builds a traceable and trustworthy network by uniting primary care clinics, independent laboratories, and qualified family doctors. Patients can schedule medical services nearby through a dedicated application, while smart contract technology can automatically handle insurance and out-of-pocket expenses, significantly lowering the barriers to accessing healthcare.

What deserves more attention is the "medical data ownership" mechanism of this system. In the traditional model, patients' medical records are often scattered across different hospitals, making it difficult to retrieve and easy to leak privacy. In this new system, the ownership of data belongs to the patients themselves, and doctors can only access it temporarily after obtaining authorization, with all operations being recorded on the blockchain. This not only protects patient privacy but also addresses the long-standing "information silo" problem in the healthcare industry.

A doctor friend shared his experience that through the authorization mechanism of this system, he can retrieve patients' health check data from the past years in just a few minutes, greatly improving diagnostic efficiency. This convenience benefits not only the work of doctors but also ordinary patients.

When I returned to the community hospital, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the AE had successfully completed the examination, and the costs were much lower than expected. This made me deeply realize that the true value of blockchain technology lies not in speculation, but in solving real problems and bringing tangible convenience to ordinary people.

This kind of innovation that brings technology to the pain points of people's livelihoods may not bring explosive growth in the short term, but its vitality rooted in real demands is undoubtedly more worthy of our expectations. It demonstrates how technology can truly improve people's quality of life, especially in fields like healthcare that are related to everyone's well-being.

Can the medical insurance card also go on the blockchain? There's potential.

Long positions were liquidated early, shorting led to a crash. I am the alarm bell ringing.

It's so true! Crypto ultimately has to return to its application value.
