We had the pleasure of getting to sit down and talk with TrustedHealth[1]‘s CEO, Greg Jarzabek, in an exclusive CryptoCurrencyNews.com ‘CCN’ interview.
TrustedHealth is a patient and doctor ecosystem built on the blockchain that provides its patient’s specialists from around the world, enriching their overall care. The TrustedHealth system holds each patient’s full medical history and provides specialists full access to these records to determine if that patient is a good fit for their expertise, or not. Mr. Jarzabek goes into further detail about his company in the interview below.
Can you elaborate on your background a bit?
My name is Greg and I have worked for the last 10 years in a financial service industry. I am a Certified Financial Analyst and Certified Quantitative Analyst. I have worked and studied in many countries and I am an alumnus of Harvard, ESCP and Warsaw School of Economics. I speak 5 languages, love sports, a husband and a father of two.
How did the idea of Trusted Health come about?
My mother died of cancer, an event that drove my full energy into founding Trustedoctor platform and as a consequence TrustedHealth project. During our family’s journey, I realized that there are huge problems for patients around the world that have to deal with complex diseases. There is lack of transparency who is the right specialist and there is a difficulty in accessing the right care since best medical expertise is not in one place.
Why did the switch from Trustedoctor to Trusted Health occur?
Trustedoctor was the first step to solve the above-mentioned problems. We created a dedicated open online platform that connects patients with leading specialists worldwide for the right advice. Having launched the platform and proven the focused concept with doctors and patients around the world in brain and lung cancer, the next step was to build the ecosystem of other decentralized healthcare service providers to complement the networks of doctor specialists and digitalize the patient treatment pathway. We decided to create TrustedHealth, a dedicated ecosystem of medical services, to empower patients with a digital access to global medicine for an optimal health and to engineer it on blockchain for patient medical data storage and smart contracts to engage and reward users.
What is the summed up primary goal of what Trusted Health seeks to do?
TrustedHealth wants to build a decentralized and trusted ecosystem of medical services for everyone everywhere to empower patients with a digital access to global medicine for an optimal health engineered on the blockchain.
Is there a specific location you will be targeting first?
As far as providers and suppliers of the TrustedHealth are concerned, we would focus, to begin with, mainly on European countries with inbound patient traffic such as Switzerland, UK, Germany, and the USA. As far as users, patients are concerned, we would focus on Middle East, Asia, Eastern Europe. Nevertheless,
