About the project:

MedCredits is an Ethereum based blockchain platform aimed at bringing patients and doctors together. MedCredits is planning to use the advantages of telemedicine and blockchain to make healthcare affordable and efficient.

The technology of the project is based on OpenBazaar: it is a P2P network for patients, doctors and medical administrators. The patient can publish a request for a specific medical service and receive relevant offers from the nearest clinics, look through doctors’ profiles and ratings.

MedCredits  has already launched a beta version of the project with a specially designed software: the app  ‘Hippocrates’  connects patients to online dermatologists for fast diagnoses. Using high resolution cameras on smartphones and providing doctors with descriptions of skin problems patients get professional medical consultations within minutes.

Features of the project:

• The beta version is already working and the team is planning to have a product available for testing in Q1 2018.
• MedCredits creates an electronic medical record (EMR) system. The project will hold data and medical records of patients around the world, but secure information by providing token holders with private keys to their health records.
• The platform will use open source code, so participants will be able to create applications on the existing
