2018 will be a pivotal year for the healthcare industry to harness the power of Blockchain technology.

Post this

San Francisco, CA, and Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 08, 2017 -- Dapps.ai and Obesity PPM today announced their strategic partnership, enabling acceleration of blockchain-based solutions to address a range of health sector challenges leveraging both company’s expertise in distributed ledger technology and the Salesforce platform. The partnership will focus on delivering innovative, blockchain-enabled managed services for complex chronic disease management, clinical trials recruitment and administration, data liquidity and cybersecurity, and IoMT (Internet of Medical Things) activation of medical devices.

“Today’s announcement is a key step on our journey to empower enterprises with end-to-end Blockchain technology. We’re excited to work with the Obesity PPM team to solve current-state issues plaguing their Healthcare clients,” states Vikal Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer of Dapps.ai. Vikal goes on to say, “With our launch this week at the annual Salesforce conference, Dreamforce, the timing couldn’t be better. Together we will help Obesity PPM’s health system customers focused on leveraging their healthcare data, enhance population health and predict patient behavior to increase accuracy and optimize costs.”

Blockchain technology has the potential to mitigate many of the healthcare industry’s most complex challenges and to advance the sector's technology paradigm to enable patients, providers, payers, and researchers to securely share EMR (electronic medical record), PHR (personal health record), and IoMT data, and to more efficiently and securely transact. Distributed ledger technology is incredibly appealing to the spectrum of stakeholders that need improved liquidity, interoperability, and security of health data. Dapps.ai blockchain technology offerings and Obesity PPM managed services allow the healthcare community to access a distributed data sources across blockchains to obtain timely, accurate and longitudinal health data.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled to partner with Dapps.ai. Their groundbreaking technology extends our proprietary Salesforce-based platform at the foundation of our disease management, population health, and care coordination managed services for health systems,” says Heather Flannery, Obesity PPM’s Founder and CEO. “Through this alliance, Obesity PPM and Dapps.ai will increase trust, reduce costs, and lower risk across vital healthcare use cases via Obesity PPM’s novel managed services. Obesity PPM’s Managed Ecosystem for Integrated Obesity Treatment will now orchestrate processes that move on and off multiple public and private, permissioned blockchains. For example, within a single healthcare value chain, Dapps.ai and Obesity PPM can leverage both public blockchain identity management solutions and multiple private, permissioned blockchains for smart contract-based research and care coordination.”
