Saw you guys from a few different threads...how are you different from LITRA coin? You guys seem to have a good team, but how exactly would the EMR platform differ from others--this seems like not the main purpose of medcredits tho, correct?
Litra coin appears to be going down the route of connecting existing EMR platforms. This is actually already being done by EMR providers and does not particularly require a blockchain.
http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/content/home/en_US/pdf/Epic_Interoperability_Fact_Sheet_10.pdfMedCredits is a platform that connects patients and doctors for medical services. If you were sick at home or a relative was worried about a mole on their arm, you would use the MedCredits platform to be connected to a doctor.
Regarding EMRs: When a patient sees a doctor, the doctor documents the encounter and potentially prescribes some medication or orders additional testing (blood work, MRI, referral to a specialist). This generates data. The critical point is that
healthcare data is generated when doctors evaluate patients. EMRs simply store this data. The MedCredits platform will generate patient data and allow the patient to own this data (private keys). As the MedCredits clinical services expand, so too will the volume of patient data. MedCredits will therefore become both an EMR and a platform for medical services.
I hope that clarifies the difference between MedCredits and a lot of other projects out there. We are indeed the first platform to offer medical services and our team is led by licensed medical doctors.
