Categories :
In this episode of Dinis Guarda YouTube Podcast, Pradeep Goel, CEO of Solve.care discusses how the company is addressing some foundational challenges in the healthcare system to ensure equity for all stakeholders. The podcast is powered by Businessabc.net and citiesabc.com.
Pradeep Goel is an expert in blockchain, finance, technology, and healthcare, and founder of Solve.Care, a global healthcare blockchain company for digital health networks. As an advocate of technology as an enabler, he says:
“Tech isn't going to be adopted just because it's good tech. You have to make it work for the people who are going to be impacted by it. Good tech can scare people right because it impacts their livelihood or they're afraid they lose their job. But there is a Human Side of Technology that serves people. People don't serve technology and the people the technology normally serves aren't technical so you have to learn to make technology work for them.
It must be designed in a way that it is absolutely respectful of every stakeholder's rights including their privacy and their right to have their data and control it and this technology blockchain being one of the key components of such a you know principle really should be built from the ground up such that it cannot be corrupted down the road.”
Solve.care: Bringing equity to healthcare
Solve.Care is a healthcare relationship management platform using blockchain to define the next generation of care coordination, benefit administration and payments. The platform helps streamline the way healthcare is managed, accessed, delivered, and paid for in a secure, efficient, and cost-effective manner by using easy, simple, and proven proprietary Web 3.0 technology.
In the words of Pradeep:
“We monetize on the true service of connecting people together in a manner that they have full control over their identity. Tech should be built so that it can not change its mind one day. It has been a long road for us to go from that vision to reality. The premise here is to allow for equitable conversation, transaction, payment, billing, appointment, referral, and record exchange to happen. Healthcare needs to function in a completely decentralized manner. That's the core premise of Solve.care: Bringing equity to healthcare.
We replace the intermediaries so that both patient and provider, the healthcare provider, and the healthcare recipient can have more effective and direct communication and we need to replace it with something that won't get corrupted with time.”
Decentralisation of healthcare: Solve.care ensures transparency and data ownership
During the interview, Pradeep explained the need for a decentralised system of healthcare through many examples. Citing the personal experiences, he emaphasised that the traditional and legacy systems of healthcare need more transparency and that the patient should have the rights to their own data.
He said that by layering itself on the blockchain, Solve.care introduces transparency and ownership of data for patients:
“We put blockchain to bring an appropriate level of transparency and put the smart contract in to calculate the price of drugs based on some rationality. prescription lack of transparency in drug prices, lack of access to your medical data to replace that opaque centrally controlled decision- making with a transparent protocol that lives on the chain and auto executes to give everybody a fair equitable participation and restores their rights.
We're launching a new capability in our care wallet which is how patients interact with our system where they can request and attach the legal document with the requesting I have a right to my record you cannot deny this to me and here is the mechanism in the address where you must send it and yes the records are you know going to be in my custody from moving forward.”
