The current model for medical data harvesting is inefficient. The means of doctor input, underwriting transcription, and a bulk dealing data market; is a model that leads to doctor burnout, privacy invasion, and a data market that’s hard for research to navigate. Patients producing the data are ran through the mill with high medical expenses and health issues, to generate data and revenue that they never see. The tech worlds screams for the coming age of A.I and technology in medicine, yet the market holding that foundation of data for technology to be built on is incredibly inefficient. The medical data market needs a patient powered broker that makes research interactive and organized structured data for A.I to truly work.

Unity Health Score is that future data broker. While many business experts suggest that a startup can’t begin to contest against giants like Acxiom or Epsilon. We argue that with the right public education on the importance of data autonomy and a momentous crowdfunding campaign, that the current big business data brokers won’t even have time to copy our model let alone earn the public’s trust to use our model.

Unity Health Score can harness the power of patients producing the data, doctors authenticating it, and insurance company’s covering the diagnostics to create a full circle relationship where the party’s responsible for producing medical data are the ones benefiting.

This model promotes electronic health record interoperability, universal formatting to take healthcare IT into the next level. It takes less stress off medical facilities systems and with that less risk of ransomware attacks. It speeds up clinic time by allowing the patient to be the data transcriber and the doctor the authentication, minimizing the time consuming process of asking for list of medications, medical history, allergies, blood type, etc as well. This reduces doctor burnout and increases the doctor patient relationship/communication. It puts patients at the center of their medical records, and allows them to receive the majority of that data’s revenue to curb medical expenses. It could at-least put a dent in the leading cause of bankruptcy, medical debt.

It allows research to be more interactive. Specifics in data can be requested with a direct link to the patients behind it. Research participant acquisition is a free service for research universities and clinics, updating the patients if they’d like to respond.

The health score integer risk assessment service can create cost negotiation space for patients on their insurance premiums. The health score can create a foundation for A.I to suggest patients recovery potential and controllable/non-controllable health issues. The risk integer can allow doctors to more easily evaluate follow up plans and promote readmission reduction.

This is the future data brokerage, one that has a grass roots method helping humans and technology to adapt.
