Empowering Patients with Transparency: Revolutionizing Healthcare Access and Affordability through Blockchain Transparency

The problem Savitr solves

Our solution tackles the healthcare sector's transparency issues, specifically targeting opaque pricing for drugs, medical procedures, and equipment, which often leaves consumers vulnerable to price gouging and uninformed decisions. By leveraging blockchain technology, we introduce a decentralized system that enhances transaction transparency while ensuring patient confidentiality and data protection in line with HIPAA laws.

Key Features:

  • Patients gain access to detailed financial records, enabling informed healthcare decisions and insights into medical expenses.
  • Institutions and Doctors securely manage and input financial data, fostering a competitive and transparent healthcare environment.
  • The Public benefits from a generalized view of medical costs, promoting market understanding and accountability.

Our system integrates with Electronic Health Records (EHRs) for accurate data verification, eliminating third-party interference and ensuring data immutability on the blockchain. This approach not only empowers consumers with knowledge and control over their healthcare choices but also aims to reduce overall healthcare costs by exposing and curbing price manipulations.

Benefits:

  • Empowered consumers with access to transparent healthcare pricing.
  • Secure and private data handling, adhering to the highest encryption standards.
  • A fairer healthcare market with reduced price gouging and enhanced consumer trust.

This blockchain-based innovation is set to revolutionize healthcare by prioritizing transparency, security, and consumer empowerment, marking a significant step towards equitable and fair healthcare practices.

Challenges we ran into

  • Database connections
  • Getting the front end to display correctly
  • Legal complications and viability
