Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital and MediBloc agreed that the two parties will mutually cooperate on the medical data management of the Kyung Hee Dental Examination Center and work together to provide a high standard dental service to the hospital’s patients through MediBloc’s personal health record platform.

This partnership will realize the patient-centric healthcare information management service.

WooKyun Kho, the co-founder of MediBloc, said “we will carry forward comprehensive discussions for business cooperation.” He also mentioned “beginning with the provision of Healthcare Data Platform, we are planning to interconnect all types of other services that MediBloc is capable of with Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital.”

Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital will be the first hospital in South Korea to provide comprehensive dental check-up service that covers not only the teeth-related examination but also facial bone-related and soft tissue-related examinations. This comprehensive check-up service will be available through Kyung Hee Dental Examination Center, which will be officially launched on March 2018. MediBloc’s healthcare data platform will be used in the hospital’s services to give back patients their own private medical records. In addition, the two partners will progress step-by-step in their development cooperation to connect all KHUDH’s patient dental record with MediBloc database and service. This is expected to become the world’s first blockchain-based and patient-centric medical record sharing servicein the field of dentistry. All participants of MediBloc ecosystem will be able to enjoy a new level of benefit through this partnership.

Through this partnership with KHUDH, MediBloc once again has an opportunity to prove its high practicality and value.
