A silent blockchain-based revolution is underway in South Korea’s hospitals.

Doctors begin to use the blockchain data on the medical history of patients. A blockchain platform said it would provide patients with compensation when it uses medical records in clinical research.

Blockchain could help doctors treat patients at home in remote-treatment service. However, South Korea bans off-hospital treatment. Blockchain-based medical records management has begun.

Blockchain-based healthcare startup Human Scape said it would provide compensation to the patients of the incurable diseases. The reward will be available through the Luniverse blockchain service platform when patients accept the use of their medical records.

The Kyunghee University Dental Hospital unveiled the blockchain-based electronic medical records (EMR) system. The system stores all dental records of visitors to the hospital. It shares the information with the other clinics to avoid duplicate treatment.

The blockchain-based medical platform Medibloc provides the EMR system to Kyunghee.

The blockchain platform would enable the remote treatment of patients both inside and outside of Korea.

Blockchain startup NDS started the so-called smart hospital management service. Hospitals can use the platform to automate the issuance, processing and managing all medical documents, including prescriptions, and insurance coverage papers.
