The need to manage and distribute medical data
Medical data is needed not only for patients and medical institutions, but also for various institutions and individuals across society.
From medical researchers to public health policy officials are a good example. In order to present effective health care policies as well as disease treatment, consistent and reliable data is needed.
The need for efficient data access is especially emphasized in times of crisis, such as the COVID19 pandemic. This is because you have to access the patient’s data quickly and accurately even for a second at the moment of crisis that determines life and death. Currently, personal medical records are the least accessible data, and only primary healthcare providers have access to them.
Information management systems monopolized by institutions are quite inefficient in situations where quick and accurate responses are needed.
There are also the benefits of the current policy, which strictly protects information security and patient privacy.Because medical records are the patient’s most private and sensitive information.
It is time for information exchange methods to increase access efficiency while maintaining security.
Companies such as Google and Amazon, which are not official medical institutions, are also aware of the aforementioned problems in the medical community and are conducting investment and research to find solutions for them. The fact that global companies Google and Amazon have jumped in proves that the aforementioned demand exists all over the world.
It is also possible to predict that demand for raw medical information will continue to be generated as new business opportunities in medical records increase. The BioPassport project was created by capturing the opportunity to solve problems in this trend.
