When it comes to the issue of adhering to drug prescription given by doctors or pharmacist, many patients do not follow accordingly due to reasons such as their inability to understand the directions, forgetfulness etc.
It is important to state; following drugs prescription means taking the right does, at the right time, in the the right way and frequency. Failure to adhere strictly to prescription could lead to disease getting worse, and leading to death in some cases.
It is unfortunate to note that despite efforts to improve medication adherence, there seem to be no significant change in the last 30years as reported. This is why Curaizon is now leveraging on blockchain technology in building a decentralized ecosystem aimed at helping patients to improve on medication adherence.
Curaizon is a UK based company that has developed CuraServe, a solution to improve drug adherence and bring game changing benefits to patients and healthcare providers. due to blockchain technological disruption, Curaizon is now building a decentralized ecosystem whose core features will be CuraServe, CuraData and CuraView with all working complementarily.
CuraServe function by communicating with patients using a non intrusive reminder as well as supporting healthcare providers with a real-time view into patients behavior. The CuraView feature ensure all patients data is current, it also provide real-time feedback to electronic medical record while CuraData feature function by collecting unique and valuable data.
Data collected can be of enormous importance. For instance, the adherence data produced by CuraServe can give useful information on the efficacy and sustainability of drugs taken by individual patients; this can be used to dramatically improve patients outcome while also saving healthcare services tens of billions of dollars. These data can also find useful applications in research, academics and pharmaceutical companies.
Reportedly, worldwide drug non-adherence results in approximately $700 billion as additional healthcare cost while cost of treating patients with low adherence is twice that of patients with high adherence.
CuraServe provides CuraData with useful information that can help in reducing healthcare cost. These cost reduction can be achieved through provision of information/analytical tools that expedite faster time to treatment via informed decision making. Also, Curaizon data analytics is capable of sending automatic alerts to healthcare providers when patients are about to fall sick, thus reducing hospitalization of patients through preventative care which cost lower, compared to hospitalization. There are other number of ways Curaizon also reduces of healthcare services while improving medication adherence.
Curaizon project look promising, their ecosystem is designed to attract users of different caliber within the health sector that are seriously looking for information to help them stay ahead of competitors. Curaizon ecosystem is designed such that users seeking useful information will be grant access via the CuraToken and in turn be rewarded too while patients whose information are being used also get rewarded. Patients data are kept anonymous and stored off chain unto AES 256 encrypted cloud in the appropriate geographic domain.
Curaizon platform also stand to enjoy the patronage of all patients across the world that are covered by national health services estimated at 1.4 billion and still growing. It is believed that such potential users alongside other non-patients users such as researchers, academias, pharmaceutical companies etc will all drive the value of CuraToken.
