Biometrics as the Next Frontier of Authentication in Healthcare

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, more healthcare consumers than ever before have begun to engage digitally with their healthcare providers rather than seek in-person treatment and care options. A survey recently released by software company Redpoint Global found that 65 percent of consumers reported using telehealth during the pandemic, with 34 percent of those respondents indicating they will continue to do so as the pandemic winds down.  In this context, it’s no surprise that

Harnessing Healthcare Data: How the Right Low-Code Solution Empowers Clinicians & Improves Patient Experience

The healthcare industry has been slowly adopting new technology solutions to improve efficiency and patient care, but it’s still largely known for paper-based processes, and for having massive amounts of data1. To make matters worse, it’s estimated that 80% of the data in the healthcare industry is unstructured, in the form of discharge summaries, medical images, and clinical notes.2   Even though the industry has started to adopt technology tools to get better insights and

Traditional RESTful APIs Will Not Solve Healthcare’s Biggest Interoperability Problems

by Brian Platz, Co-CEO and Co-Chairman of Fluree 01/12/2021 Leave a Comment

Traditional RESTful APIs Will Not Solve Healthcare's Biggest Interoperability Problems

Interoperability is a big discussion in health care, with new regulations requiring interoperability for patient data. Most approaches follow the typical RESTful API approach that has become the standard method for data exchange. Yet Health Level Seven (HL7), with its new Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) standard for the electronic transfer of health data, is leading to a rash of implementations that, to date, are not solving core interoperability issues.  Data is still

Meaningful Use of Genomics Requires Informatics Beyond EMRs

by Assaf Halevy, Founder and CEO of 2bPrecise 01/06/2021 Leave a Comment

Why EHRs fall short w/ providing valuable genetic insights

Electronic medical records (EMRs) are widely expected to serve as a cornerstone technology that drives the delivery of modern patient care.  But can the EMR alone support all the informatics capabilities required by an ever-evolving healthcare industry? The rapid growth of precision medicine, particularly the use of genetic and genomic information during clinical decision making, is a compelling example that functionality beyond the EMR is required. Not only does genomic data represent a
