Yes, I',m a physician by training, working in the pharmaceutical industry since 15 years.
The potential of blockchain and similar technologies for this industry is incredible and Patientory is an interesting project.
It's not only the secure transfer of patient data between hospitals but also and in particular the conduct of clinical trials where pharma companies, Clinical Research Organisations, Drug Suppllier, investigators and patients are involved.
A huge part of the costs of a clinical trial are linked to the cumbersome and highly regulated interaction between those parties. Blockchains can help to reduce fraud, product counterfeiting, exchange of patient consent forms blinding of patients and other contractual relarionship with the parties, by reduced costs and increased speed.
There are a couple of proof of concept papers out there which are sounding quite promising:

In order to save time I would like to the see a crypto currency specially focussing on that topic as it could be a real change of the game and there's a lot of money in the healthcare business :-)
A group of blockchain IT experts together with some experts of the Clinical industry and their different sub areas could setup a nice promising project which could be a revolutionary step forward.
If some IT guys are interested or alreadyy investigating into this option, please drop me a mail.
