Afya Rekod, a startup based in Kenya, and Medi-science International Limited, announced a strategic partnership to revolutionize healthcare delivery in Africa and Europe through decentralization and better access to individual health data.
Reports say that the collaboration will allow patients, doctors, and hospitals to safely store health information on one platform using a digital application. This will give them access to a record of their medical history.
Decentralization is the modification or transformation of current health care systems. Globally standardized processes and procedures are used in modern healthcare systems. As Afya Rekod illustrates, “If a person is ill, they see a doctor, offer insurance, or pay out of pocket following a test.” When that happens, they are given a prescription or medication generally suitable to address that consequence.
The Afya Rekod and Medi-Science partnership will enable patients, doctors, and hospitals to securely host health information on one platform through a digital application, providing people with an accessible record of their health history. Patients and doctors can look at imaging data and test results using an app or a browser. They don’t have to return to the health centre to get the files.
Afya Rekod recently showed off a blockchain-powered automated universal patient portal that tracks healthcare data and aims to make it easier for patients, medical experts, providers, and organizations to get care and treatment.
The Universal Patient Portal is a blockchain-powered, consolidated, mobile health data passport that gives patients consistent access to their health information and real-time access to a marketplace of different health services within the ecosystem. It is paid for by subscriptions.
John Kamara, CEO of Afya Rekod, said that the firm’s goal is to provide families with virtual access to their medical records anytime. He also said that the company’s partnership with Medi-science International Limited will make it easier for patients and doctors to share information.
He also said, “Afya Rekod lets doctors look at and share data with other professionals, so they can make accurate diagnoses and decisions.” “The efficient closeness between doctors and patients provides for shorter wait times for consultations between doctors and patients, allowing for more effective patient care without the need for the patient to be in the hospital.”
Sani Ahonsi, CEO of Medi-science International Limited, stated, “Our world’s healthcare system is in the early stages of being revolutionized.” For decades, our demographically overcrowded healthcare systems’ accessibility and efficiency in traditional modes of treatment and personal care have remained static, ”
This is why health care decentralization is a pressing issue. At Medi-science International Limited, we collaborate with contemporary healthcare systems, decentralizing their administrative processes to develop the highest quality of treatment at the lowest possible cost, added Ahonsi.
