DNTP: a new solution for electronic health records

Published

on

The medical and healthcare professionals need to maintain accurate health records of the patients, and these records need to be shared among different medical and healthcare institutions so that the medical staff can read the medical history comprehensively and avoid missing the important information. At this stage, the medical staff have used Electronic Health Records (HER) as the key to achieving these goals and providing quality care. However, there are still some technical and legal restrictions. The inability to resolve performance and privacy issues has always restricted the development of the industry.

For a long time, people have believed that Electronic Health Records (EHR) should be stored across time and space, and can be accessed at any time within the scope of the law.

In the first stage of digitization, whether Electronic Medical Records (EMR) are on a local server or on the cloud, we are storing the medical history of the patients within the jurisdiction of the medical and healthcare provider. There is no essential difference between this electronic medical record system and the traditional paper medical record system, because the information technology only transfers the management of medical records from paper to hard disk.

The electronic medical record system cannot be disseminated from one practice, but is transmitted to other practices by fax or signed documents, which is time-consuming.

In the second stage, authorized doctors and staff create, manage and consult electronic medical records of multiple medical institutions, allowing interoperability between different electronic medical record systems. That is, EHR can share information among doctors and track patient information across multiple medical institutions. In the United States, EMR exchange is on a public platform, namely the national health information network. It is a set of standards, services and policies, which can exchange safe health information through the Internet. However, technical and legal problems hinder the application of these systems.

The DNTP (Deltal National Treatment Programme) project was initiated to build an experimental blockchain platform for EHR. It overcomes the shortcomings of the traditional EHR system and is also different from other EHR blockchains. It is an alliance composed of multiple organizations, namely hospitals, insurance providers, and government agencies. The business logic is determined by the management model allowed by the alliance, rather than the unreliable model of other medical blockchains;

Specifically, the differences between the proposed DNTP and other EHR blockchains are:

First of all, DNTP is an alliance. The business logic is determined by the management model allowed from the beginning of the alliance, rather than the unreliable model of other medical blockchains.

Secondly, DNTP performs well in the following aspects: data availability, data integrity, and retrieval success rate, that is, even if a small number of servers crash, DNTP is always online.

The real electronic medical records are stored because they are signed by valid stakeholders. Thanks to load balancing, we can successfully access account books at any time.

More importantly, DNTP uses Proof of Authority (PoA) as its consensus protocol. The designated, authenticated and trusted ordering party is responsible for generating valid blocks, that is, as long as these blocks are signed by one of the ordering parties, they will be accepted by all participants. PoA is different from other consensus protocols, such as Proof of Work and Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance (PBFT).

Finally, different users have different chain code application programming interfaces (APIs) in DNTP, which are specified by the management model. Therefore, we can define how users interact with account books and implement access control strategies.

RocketFuel CEO on Advancing Crypto Use in Business Payments

Published

on

–News Direct–

RocketFuel Payment Solutions CEO Peter Jensen joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the company's approach to leveraging blockchain technology for monetary transactions in an interview with Steve Darling from Proactive. Jensen highlighted the strategic use of stablecoins to facilitate efficient, transparent, and secure money transfers, particularly in business-to-business (B2B) transactions and payments to subsidiaries or vendors abroad, such as sending $50 million to Singapore.

One key advantage of stablecoins, according to Jensen, is their growing acceptance among large corporations that manage multi-currency accounts. These corporations can leverage stablecoins to access whichever currency is most favorable in different scenarios, enhancing flexibility and cost-effectiveness in cross-border transactions.

Jensen also touched on the broader economic and strategic implications of cryptocurrency adoption, likening it to the introduction of the euro. He noted the increasing strategic alliances among BRICS countries developing their own blockchain-based currencies as alternatives to the U.S. dollar, with the aim of achieving economic and strategic autonomy.

Furthermore, Jensen highlighted the widespread adoption of blockchain technology among major companies, citing partners like PayPal and Ripple. This integration reflects a broader trend toward the systemic incorporation of stablecoins into global financial practices, signaling the increasing importance of blockchain-based solutions in the modern economy.

US Global Investors announces Merger of Europe-Domiciled Airlines ETF into the Travel UCITS ETF

Published

on

–News Direct–

U.S. Global Investors CEO Frank Holmes joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share an update on the company's Europe-domiciled airlines ETF, the U.S. Global Jets UCITS ETF, which has undergone a merger into the Travel UCITS ETF (TRIP). U.S. Global Investors acquired TRIP from HANetf, a leading provider of UCITS ETFs in Europe. It's important to note that TRIP is distinct from the U.S. online booking company TripAdvisor, which trades under the same ticker symbol (TRIP) on the Nasdaq.

Holmes explained that TRIP aims to track the Solactive Travel Index, which includes publicly-listed companies operating in the travel industry, such as airlines, hotels, travel agencies, and cruise lines. The inclusion of cruise lines in TRIP reflects the broader global travel investment theme, making it a strategic addition to U.S. Global Investors' product lineup.

According to data from the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), global cruise passenger volumes increased by nearly 7% from 2019 to 2023, with North America experiencing the strongest growth at 17.5%. This surge in demand for leisure travel has translated into higher revenues for cruise lines. In 2023, industry giants Carnival, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings collectively reported approximately $44 billion in trailing 12-month net sales, up from $38.2 billion in pre-pandemic 2019.

The merger of U.S. Global Jets UCITS ETF into TRIP reflects the company's strategic approach to capturing opportunities in the evolving travel industry landscape, driven by increasing consumer demand and recovery from the pandemic's impact.
