Weekly Update #2 on Decentralized EHR Project – Architecture

This past Tuesday, I held my first meeting with developers from the BitShares team as well as with my colleague from IBM, Ian Balina. We managed to find a great room on the GWU campus in Washington D.C. – complete with plenty of seats, a podium and several whiteboards. We spent several hours mapping out the initial architecture on two whiteboards which you can see below: The first board detailed the most essential aspects of our Decentralized EHR – loading of patient records on the blockchain, how the patient will use the system and how the system’s machine learning model will calculate predicted diagnoses for new patients. The second board dealt with the more advanced features of the system such as the performance-based incentivized platform, the ranking/scheduling system and a brief description of witnesses for our Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) blockchain solution.

Well aware that you guys will be unable to read most of what’s written on both boards, I reviewed the two snapshots when I got home and later reproduced the diagrams to make them look more readable and aesthetically pleasing.

I will devote the following post to detailing the initial architecture of the system with the newly reproduced diagrams. So sit back, grab a notebook if you want to take notes and enjoy!
