At the ceremony, both parties stated that they would work towards the same goal of building a blockchain-based PHR platform and that the hospital would give full support to its development.
“As a partner, we will carry out comprehensive discussions for our platform development,” said Eunsol Lee, co-founder of MediBloc in Korea. He added, “We will start with providing PHR platform and expand to integrating all services of MediBloc with Hanyang University Medical Center’s system. Both patients and doctors will find the integrated system very convenient and efficient.”
Hanyang University Medical Center was established in 1972 as the largest hospital in Asia to nurture health professionals who will contribute to the improvement of public health. It is one of the most prestigious medical institutions in Korea.

Through this partnership agreement, MediBloc in Korea has once again proved its high practicality and achieved an opportunity to grow its business in the future.
MediBloc in Korea is a blockchain-based health information platform. It is a patient-centric platform that stores health records and life logs on the blockchain and provides all necessary PHR of patients to healthcare professionals whenever they visit medical institutions. Furthermore, researchers can have access to, with the permission of patients, medical data which is currently limited to specific medical institutions. MediBloc platform is expected to launch at the end of 2018.
