The International Business Times is reporting that Blockchain startup Gem has cut deals with a number of partners in the healthcare sector in which its shared ledger and data security platform is taking use cases from prototype to production.

Gem CEO Micah Winkelspecht told the IBTimes:

“The healthcare industry is looking at how they can use blockchains in a number of ways: to transport medical records from provider to provider and build those sorts of networks; as well as how they can use health data generally to incentivise people to be healthier, to build reward systems around healthy behaviour using IoT [Internet of Things] devices, all sorts of stuff.”

Founded in 2014, Gem raised $2 million in seed funding for a bitcoin API product aimed at industry developers. But appeared to pivot in late 2015 and by early 2016 Gem was advertising its service as an Blockchain API. Gem kickstarted 2016 with a $7.1m Series A.

Gem says they under NDA with a number of companies in the healthcare space and announcements are imminent according to IBTimes and the goal is to create a golden record of health data that is secure and transferable.
