While radiation exposure in medical industry has been one of the issues in the world, it is difficult for individuals to collect their own data. As the importance of radiation dose management has been increased, HEX provides an answer to existing limitations!
What is Radiation Dose?
Individuals experience many diseases throughout their lives. Radiation exposure from radiation medical equipment cannot be avoided during the diagnosis and treatment of disease. This is called radiation dose or dose.
Dangerousness of Radiation
Radiation is not harmful to human body since its level is extremely low. But how radiation influences differs individual to individual. Thus, minimum amount of radiation should be used and related regulation should be strict.
Current condition of individual radiation management
In the meantime, dose management has been used only within medical institutions. Dose data is very sensitive for individual and medical institutions and also it is sensitive to send their radiation dose information to other medical institutions.
Radiation dose management through HEX platform
HEX utilizes exposure dose information that individuals receive for radiation management. Exposure information individuals receive is cumulated after being standardized and encrypted through HEX platform in which only individuals can check out. In addition, individual radiation dose from various institutions located not only local boundaries but also overseas will be collected on HEX platform.
The future of medical ecosystem through radiation dose management
Positive effect from radiation dose through HEX platform is as follows:
First of all, individuals can manage their radiation dose saved in HEX platform. If an individual cumulative dose is high, it may require different medical services considering dose.
Second, it is easy to manage, inspect, and research medical equipment in medical institutions. Since HEX platform collects the examination information and the equipment information together, it collects the data of similar equipment or similar specification used in various medical institutions. This includes equipment used in a variety of countries outside of local boundaries, and this data can help to manage the equipment of a medical institution.
Lastly, these data can be an important reference when government or international organizations establish radiation guide or policy. HEX platform based on international standards for dose and encrypted personal information can collect data regardless of the size or location of a medical institution. This means that data from multiple medical institutions in a region can be collected, not from a specific medical institution in one area, and that data can be utilized from not only one region but also several regional hospitals. It also means that data from one country or several countries can be collected beyond the region. This can be an important reference for establishing a government healthcare policy, and HEX data can be used to an important criterion and data in international standard.
Blockchain-based HEX platform’s radiation dose management will bring innovative results not only to individuals, hospitals, but also countries!
