A robust healthcare system is essential for a sustainable development. But a rapid Innovation in the global healthcare system has been plagued by obsolete healthcare facilities and strict government policies; hence resulting in a poor quality and inefficient treatment of patients.
Despite the Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems that were proposed by healthcare providers in order to improve healthcare system, it has proven not to effectively improve the system due to high cost of hardware, security software, and other allied equipment. A patient receiving treatment at a health facility has no control over his/her records and there is no guarantee that the records between healthcare providers will be updated. A situation whereby healthcare providers do not have a centralised source of database where information can be sourced for research and analysis purposes will ultimately lead to a fractured system.
In view of the problems plaguing the global healthcare system, there is a need for the global healthcare system to have a single platform which will accommodate a growing community of Internet of Things (IoT) and software applications relating to patients’ healthcare records. This is exactly what the Cura Network seeks to achieve.
Cura Network presents a blockchain-based platform for all healthcare stakeholders - patients, healthcare providers, medical scientists, third party, and app providers. The Cura Network is an all-inclusive platform where all healthcare stakeholders can collaborate to share data with a view to promoting, restoring, and maintaining the global healthcare system. With the Cura Network platform, every patient on the network will have control over their healthcare records even if the records are shared by other entities. Patients will also be able to deny or permit access to any part of their records.
In addition, the Cura Network is a decentralized platform for storage of health data; hence guaranteeing a fast and secure access, data interoperability, as well as privacy and data portability.
Healthcare providers will get paid through the secured Cura Network platform for their services rendered. Conversely, patients will also earn when they voluntarily participate in research campaigns organized by healthcare providers.
