Patientory, the company based in Atlanta is behind an advanced healthcare app, and has raised $7.2 million in a very successful online crowdfunding campaign.
The tech startup, founded by CEO and black entrepreneur, 27-year-old Chrissa McFarlane, enables the connecting of digital medical records without compromising privacy.
McFarlane says: “In order for the US to successfully move away from the fee-for-service model to the current value-based model, there has to be a healthcare IT infrastructure that allows organizations to link quality, value and effectiveness of medical interventions through a reputable compensation model.”
“Our proposal renders the ability for payors to transfer PTY tokens as incentives to providers that offer superior care that yield better patient care outcomes to be compensated proportionally to their effort in the resulting shared savings,” continued McFarlane.
Chrissa explains that the app uses what is called blockchain technology where patient information is coordinated through a blockchain health information exchange. Patientory encrypts medical patient information in hospitals and insurance companies so that the data is distributed in an un-hackable environment.
