It is conventional wisdom that providing patients with medical information will encourage them to make healthy choices and by offering a transparent list of service prices, patients as consumers, will choose the one with the best market value.

Yet even though the use of data and price transparency information is associated with lower cost for common medical services, 87% of patients do not use these tools and only 3%(!) compare costs between providers (below).

(Source here)

Why is that? Do patients not care about data? Are they lazy consumers or should a different kind of platform and incentives be developed?

To answer these questions and many more, on June 20th from 3pm-4pm EST CryptoOracle will host an important and timely discussion between Dr. Aman Quadri, CEO of AMCHART, a patient-driven Electronic Health Record (EHR) on a hybrid public/private blockchain; and Adi Segal, co-founder and CEO of SeeThru, a P2P blockchain-enabled price transparency and healthcare payments platform; will share with the audience why and how they developed their CryptoHealth solution.

We will talk about the role that Blockchain technology has in disrupting the current Healthcare Industry business model and how can we get patients, healthcare professionals and institutions to use these applications.

This call is for everyone and anyone interested in Healthcare, Blockchain, Decentralized Economies and thinking about an ICO or investing in ICOs.

As I’ve written before, creating a CryptoHealth Solution is not easy and Aman and Adi’s success is worth hearing.

We’ll leave plenty of time at the end for questions from the audience.

To register for the conference use Zoom.

There will be a recording and summary posted after the call.

If you liked what you read, go ahead and “Clap” below so others will see it too (up to 50 claps allowed!)
