Blockchain technology in hyperbaric medicine
Medical device directive and blockchain approach
AHA Hyperbarics is a pioneer in blockchain in healthcare industry. Namely, manufacturing of medical devices has forced us to use processes that are natural to blockchain technology. For example, based on the Medical Device Directive and other regulations, one needs to keep permanent records of the development, design, production and distribution of medical devices as well as all of the parts from suppliers. Once the information is submitted to a blockchain it cannot be changed, resulting in permanent traceability for every device. Through blockchain applications it’s possible to share sensitive information about users of hyperbaric chambers, their protocols. The data can be shared with the maintainers for auditing, reporting and compliance. Blockchain can also keep service records of the hyperbaric devices that are required.
