Thanks for reading! This post will walk you through the motivations for founding Blockchain Health and our plans for the future! Please excuse the brevity, it's mostly cribbed from a deck that 
We intend to change the way Personal Health Data is:
I'll go though these one at a time.
Health Data as it's used today is mostly collected and manually digitized by medical staff at the doctor's office, in the hospital, etc. This is entered directly into the Electronic Medical Record software that they use to keep records of care for historical, billing and liability purposes. This is often shared with the patient via a portal that almost nobody accesses.
The nexus of data collection is your smartphone. It already gets mood and productivity data from your email and social media usage, and information regarding physical activity from it's onboard accelerometer, GPS, and devices like a smartwatch or a fitbit. Long term, we'd like to include your data from lab tests and patient portals from your health treatment, but the daily activity is already a fantastic start.
In the next few posts, I'll talk about how that data is stored, transferred and used, and how a decentralized model focused on user devices and the Blockchain can improve both patient privacy and data availability for research.
