Medicalchain News

ADVERTISEMENTS Medicalchain recently announched that, for the first-time, cryptocurrency is being used to access GP video consultations through its blockchain-based telemedicine application, MyClinic.com. This is the first action taken by Medicalchain to create borderless healthcare, while allowing patients to access flexible, safe healthcare and have greater control over their health records. Pilots are run at The Groves Medical Centre in London.    The MyClinic.com app can be downloaded by anyone in the UK who has an interest and wants to join the pilot. An appointment can be booked with a Groves doctor of choice. Although the pilot does not automatically remove patients from their existing NHS GP surgeries. Payments for available GP appointments can be made by credit and debit cards, but also by using Medicalchain’s own cryptocurrency MedTokens. These are listed on six exchanges, Bitfinex, Huobu, Kucoin, Gate.io, Qyrptos and Coinbene where the currency can be purchased.  Further services launching in 2019, will allow patients to book a range of healthcare services, from nurse appointment or blood tests, at home or in clinic, to specialist consultant appointments and online diagnostic triage if an appointment is not needed. Dr Abdullah Albeyatti – Co-Founder and CEO, Medicalchain, comments: “Today marks the first step in Medicalchain’s international mission to empower patients to have greater choice over how and where they receive medical advice, as well as how they control the use of their medical information. One of the first steps is introducing blockchain facilitated video consultations with their GP, paid for with cryptocurrency. Following a successful pilot with The Groves Medical Group in South West London the service will then expand to offer full wrap around health services across the UK, Europe and then the world.” Maria Rodriguez, the first patient to use cryptocurrency to access an appointment with her GP, said: “It’s super cool to finally use cryptocurrency to purchase services. MyClinic.com is easy to use and I love the fact that I can talk to a doctor I know well and trust. I found the report that was sent by the doctor within a few minutes really helpful and reassuring. I’m definitely going to use MyClinic.com again and I’ve already started telling my friends and family about it.” Medicalchain announced first global use of cryptocurrency to access healthcare services and store health data securely through blockchain – October 8, 2018 Cannabis Accelerator Grow Tech Labs Partners with Launch Academy, Western Canada’s Leading Incubator – October 4, 2018 The blockchain in Manufacturing Market expected to see heavy Growth due to Simplified Business Processes – October 4, 2018 New Pet Tracker with NFC Digital ID System is launched by GTX – October 4, 2018 Namibia investigating use of Blockchain for money remittance, investments and cross-border trading – October 4, 2018 Bidooh launches ICO pre-sale with its revolutionary digital billboard platform – October 2, 2018 Latest edition of Synacor’s global, Smart Contracts launched Showcasing Zimbra X Powered by EOSIO at Blockchain Live – October 2, 2018 First brand to go live on FunFair’s blockchain casino platform is CasinoFair – September 26, 2018 Open Beta Launched by CoinMetro Exchange – September 26, 2018 A BRITISH ‘crypto-bike’ firm is launching cryptocurrency classes to help riders take advantage of the blockchain – September 25, 2018 Type 2 Diabetes Epidemic in India Combated with use of Blockchain – September 25, 2018 Asset Holders Reassured by NEM After Zaif Exchange Security Incident – September 25, 2018 Pre-registration starts for Mossland’s Virtual Property Auction Game – September 20, 2018 Semiconductor Industry Most Bullish About Adopting Blockchain according to Accenture Report Finds – September 20, 2018 Alpha Version of Blokusign Released by Sagewise, First Gmail-Integrated Blockchain-Powered Electronic Signature Tool – September 19, 2018 Launched by Oneiro, ndau, Globally the First Coin Optimized for Long-term Store of Value – September 19, 2018 Firms on board with leading digital asset exchange technology provider to launch cryptocurrency benchmarks and Smart Baskets – September 18, 2018 Firms on board with leading digital asset exchange technology provider to launch cryptocurrency benchmarks and smart baskets – September 18, 2018 Trust Square expanding to become world’s largest blockchain hub – September 17, 2018 New way to create return from Crowd Machine compute tokens – September 17, 2018 View All Articles Previous articleCannabis Accelerator Grow Tech Labs Partners with Launch Academy, Western Canada’s Leading Incubator The post Medicalchain announced first global use of cryptocurrency to access healthcare services and store health data securely through blockchain appeared first on .
