MISBLOC Platform #3
The third introductory post about the MISBLOC Platform
MISBLOC (Medical Information Service with Blockchain) is a medical service ecosystem, which is based on blockchain technology. MISBLOC offers a sustainable and efficient medical service ecosystem, by providing reliable medical information to patients, medical institutions, public institutions in Big Data era.
Hi there! Today, we will finalize observing the MISBLOC platform, by providing the last introductory post on the MISBLOC’s native application “ANAPATALK”, which includes features, such as medical data generation, medical data utilization, and other additional services. The last functionality to be observed under this post is the provision of additional services, which include but not limited to insurance linkage, forensic medicine linkage, and big data linkage systems.
Insurance Linkage System
Given the fact there’s an asymmetry in information dispersion especially in the medical information, most of the insurance companies are biased or indiscriminate towards establishing their policies. The solution for the issue will be the medical blockchainization of the MyData. MyData is sent to a third institution with the patient’s consent and the information is reprocessed and returned to the patient with practical benefits. For example, multiple treatments for a particular disease prevent reckless insurance coverage by allowing them to receive specific disease-oriented insurance coverage, including their related disease coverages. This will have the effect of substantially lowering the social costs spent on healthcare.
Forensic Medicine Linkage System
Identity authentication through dental records is a very reliable method. If MISBLOC gains popularity in the near future, DNA testing in violent criminal cases, which is indeed very time-consuming and monetarily expensive, may become an unnecessary practice. For example, if the suspected criminalist comes by the hospital, he will get arrested immediately, since when the body of the unidentified person is found, the data will be matched with the MISBLOC’s records, which will accelerate the process of identity authentication. Certainly, if the governmental authorities see this function, the combination of forensic science and MISBLOC will yield a very positive social utility, that will enhance the quality of life of many people.
Most people have a total of 32 teeth, including wisdom teeth. One of the unique characteristics of dentistry, which makes it excel among other medical services, is that there are always records of treatment kept in storage. Let’s assume a case, where someone receives three dental treatments (cavity treatment, tooth extraction, implant therapy, etc.), the probability that another person will also receive the same dental treatments on exactly the same teeth is going to equal (1/32)*(1/31)*(1/30) = app. 0.003%, which is close to 0. Well, if the number of treatments increases to four, the probability will further drop to 0.00001158%. For example, in the case of the body of the late Ferry Sewol owner, Yoo Byung-eon, the body of the white bone, was first diagnosed as Yoo Byung-eon by a legal doctor (dentist) at the National Institute of Scientific Investigation before DNA tests came out.
Big Data Linkage Service
Given the sensitive nature of medical records, that require data to be protected from forgery and tampering, blockchain and medical platforms can be seen as very closely related domains. Over time, the blockchain market will become deeply entrenched in the medical community, which will allow the collected information to be used as big data in the future. For example, the incidence of certain systemic diseases in patients with high tooth loss or periodontitis can be predicted using big data, and in contrast, dental diseases in patients with certain systemic diseases can be predicted. In addition, as the information on dental care patients in each region turns into a single big data, customized dental services will be provided to each local government.
