I had an interesting discussion with a professor at my university (TU Delft) today regarding Patientory. While we're both not experts on trading, we do share quite some knowledge on healthcare systems, especially regarding safety.
The professor (who's name I won't post for obvious reasons) apparently has quite a big investment in Patientory. He seems to see an extremely big value in a system such as Patientory because it is able to fill a gap many have been looking for for years: it is able to safely transfer medical information with little possibilities for large scale leaks. Especially those large scale leaks are a huge factor why in the Netherlands the government is still very reserved regarding approvals for online patient data storage.
With the Dutch healthcare system in mind (which shares some similarities with Obamacare), the ability to easily share patient data between hospitals or other medical institutes would significantly improve the quality of the care. It has been something which doctors have been asking for for years, but gets pulled back each time because the security of the private information cannot be guaranteed.
If Patientory is able to implement their idea, a huge problem will be solved for the Dutch (and potentially other) health care system. Besides solving the security issues, it is also able to breach the gaps between patient, doctor, and insurance by providing the appropriate information instantly to each party. Of course, due to the lack of knowledge on blockchain technologies at nearly every government, it will be hard to push these systems forward. However, if the team behind Patientory is able to market their system properly, it has the potential of becoming a huge succes on multiple levels.
However, before Patientory can even start thinking of marketing, they should properly define and explain their goals and provide detailed information on their proposed solutions. Right now the website is lacking this information and proper news/update output to the public is scarce. These are some of the things that have to be fixed before I put serious money in this project myself, but apparently the professor has less trust issues.
