What is the online portal used for?
Hello TonyHernan,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you on this.
The Virtual Rehab Online Portal is a repository which contains all programs which are developed by the Virtual Rehab team (and reviewed and approved by medical doctors, psychologists, or therapists prior to deploying them to our clients). It also includes all the data which has been collected from the Virtual Rehab experience executed by the users. Moreover, it can be used to provide certain access and restrictions to the users by a facility administrator. Please find below a screenshot of the Virtual Rehab Online Portal.
Hope this provides further insight.
Regards
Understood.
This is all fascinating but why do you need blockchain for your project?
Hello TonyHernan,
We have actually written an extensive article around this. Please see URL below:
https://medium.com/@VirtualRehab/why-does-virtual-rehab-need-a-blockchain-1df016b37612In a nutshell, the blockchain will first allow Virtual Rehab to enter into the consumer market.
Furthermore, when dealing with the most vulnerable populations out there, privacy and security of information/data shared, become extremely important. Unfortunately, as of today, this information is publicly available and could be accessed through online databases which expose the identities of these vulnerable populations. As a result, this prevents these populations from re-integrating back into society and becoming an effective part of it as well.
Fortunately, this level of privacy/data protection can all be made possible when integrating blockchain technology as part of the Virtual Rehab solution. We will not gather the first name or the last name of these vulnerable populations they will be associated with a wallet address. The only information which will be gathered are the age, gender, race, biometrics (heart rate, blood pressure, biodermal activity), and eye-tracking. This will ensure complete HIPAA compliance and anonymity of these vulnerable populations information/data.
Moreover, Virtual Rehab is solving an even bigger problem which is data sharing among medical institutions, correctional departments, researchers, and patients worldwide. As of today, this data cannot be accessed due to privacy and patient protection laws. However, with our Virtual Rehab solution, everyone will have access to this information, which is completely anonymous and would allow for a database of input data and metrics to be accessed, which can further enhance existing research in the area of mental health through the global collaboration of researchers and medical professionals from around the world. Patients will also be able to access this data and find some synergies or relations with their existing symptoms and attempt to apply some best practices accordingly.
Hope this explains things better. Sorry for the long response.
Regards
That's something. Thanks for sharing.
But how do you ensure that all data and all information are fully protected and private for these users?
