Bitfury has announced its partnership with Medical Diagnostic Web (MDW), a blockchain radiology platform, to develop a blockchain-powered medical image sharing platform.

Under the partnership, both the companies will collaborate with Longenesis, a blockchain-powered life data marketplace, to build a platform that will allow secure recording and sharing medical imaging and diagnostics reports such as X-rays and CT scans. The platform will be built on Exonum, which is Bitfury’s private blockchain framework.

Each transaction on the image sharing platform will be authenticated using anchoring technology. And, Longenesis will allow access to the recorded medical data to authorized parties only. As reported, it will also ensure Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance.

Valery Vavilov, Bitfury’s CEO, has stated that blockchain, when combined with AI, can revolutionize the medical sector by providing untamperable medical information to patients and doctors on an easy-to-access and share platform.
