Roadmap Update

With the current progress of development, a detailed roadmap is crucial for the transparency and execution of the Iryo network. This roadmap will outline Iryo’s core development for the upcoming year. The team is looking forward to surpassing the milestones set below and will ensure to keep the community updated as frequently as possible in regards to future partnerships and new devlopments.

The development team currently consists of our CTO, Dominik Žnidar, two backend developers, a front-end developer, product manager and UX designer. We recently shared a post that discusses how we’ve designed 3rd-party access, which gives secure and transparent access to a person’s health data to those who are not part of the Iryo Network.

The first version of the Network will be deployed in refugee camps throughout the Beqaa Valley in Lebanon in the beginning of May. The platform will be piloted by the Walk With Me organisation (run by the non-profit organization Tying Vines, Inc.), an NGO that has close to 6,000,000 displaced refugees that will be able to test the platform.

The deployment will feature a front-facing application for healthcare providers (doctors, nurses and administrators), a secure and distributed storage protocol (on local servers and Iryo’s cloud) and a patient app for Android that will enable efficient patient identification. The platform will cover different types of workflows and support healthcare data specifically for primary healthcare services. See appendix for the complete list.

After gathering feedback and testing within the environment, Iryo will extend the network to Jordan in June, and then to four more countries by fall of 2018 (Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Djibouti).
