Forbes Article about The first medical instrument powered by blockchain.

in blockchain •  7 years ago 

"Bowhead Health, named after the longest living mammal (the Bowhead whale) is a healthcare startup on a mission to remove the pain points and inefficiencies of health management. They believe that when you empower patients to manage their own health, health outcomes improve. Their device, smaller than a coffee bean grinder, is capable of reading your biometric data in real-time. Through a blood-prick test or saliva, users submit a small sample into the machine. This then gets sent to doctors who can instantly detect any key deficiencies. Based on this data, the machine creates a vitamin-based pill, just for you. Anything made specifically for you is likely to increase adherence and thus help prevent problems arising in the future. And as most medical scholars will agree, preventative medicine is more effective than treating a problem. "
