I am very excited about SSOT Health, a new blockchain project that aims to disrupt the U.S. healthcare industry. As a healthcare data analyst with a major insurer, I am familiar with the pitfalls of healthcare data analytics today. There are many data security vulnerabilities, often raising questions about noncompliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Data are also siloed across electronic health systems such as EPIC, and these systems are often not interoperable with each other. Not to mention, the key data stakeholders — healthcare providers, patients, and researchers — are almost never involved in data monetization.

SSOT Health plans to address all the major challenges facing the healthcare data analytics industry today. Using blockchain technology, SSOT Health will enhance data security, which should help all users of healthcare data comply with HIPAA. Driven by Ethereum smart contracts, the SSOT Health platform also removes data silos by tying medical history data to global patient IDs and enables trustless interoperability across electronic health systems. Plus, the SSOT Health platform facilitates the tokenization of healthcare data across key stakeholders, which should help better align economic incentives.

In addition, I find the SSOT Health roadmap to be realistic. Platform development began in Q1 2018, along with a marketing campaign and the token presale. In Q2 2018, the team plans to deploy a pilot program in a hospital system and list its utility token, SEHR, on popular exchanges. The team plans to release its pharmacy blockchain framework in Q3 2018 and its health insurance claims blockchain framework in Q1 2019. The team aims to make the platform fully interoperable with any electronic health system by Q1 2020.

Moreover, I am very impressed with the project team. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, SSOT Health is at the epicenter of U.S. healthcare innovation. The team and its advisors have studied and worked at local universities such as Harvard, MIT, and Brandeis. As you all know, it is often the team that can make a project succeed or fail in the long term. In my opinion, the SSOT Health team consists of some of the most intelligent people in the blockchain space. Each core team member also happens to have over 20 years of entrepreneurial experience working in successful technology startups. Not to mention, the team is backed by an impressive group of advisors. I really do not think it can get any better than this!

The SSOT Health ICO starts in 32 days and a presale is going on now, so there is still time for you to get in early. The SEHR utility token is a standard ERC-20 token. There will be a total supply of 1 billion tokens, which will cost $0.03 each during the presale. The minimum contribution is $5,000 in the presale, and SSOT Health is offering a $30 bonus. The team plans to offer 50% of all tokens during the presale and public sale, use 20% for community activities, reserve 18% for themselves, hold 9% for their long-term budget, and use the remaining 3% for token sale expenses.

I am not a financial professional and cannot offer investment advice. I strongly suggest that you do your own research before deciding to participate in the SSOT Health ICO sale. You can visit their website at https://www.ssothealth.org to read the white paper and learn about the team members and advisors, the project vision and roadmap, and the details of the pesale. You can also follow SSOT Health on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/wix, on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/wix, and on Google Plus at https://plus.google.com/+Wix. There are also some very informative threads on Bitcointalk; I suggest looking at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2930040.0.

What do you all think about this project? I am very interested in hearing what you have to say!
