NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthCombix
today announced that it has partnered with San Francisco based NuCypher to explore
distributed security technology integrations to solve privacy,
consent, and identity challenges in healthcare around the
globe.
HealthCombix, a decentralized healthcare blockchain platform, is
redesigning how healthcare is delivered and paid for utilizing
distributed technology, decentralized economies, and cryptoeconomic
incentives. HealthCombix plans to partner with existing healthcare
stakeholders to advance and support emerging privacy networks.
"Our goal is to build out the next generation of healthcare
systems. We are redefining and redesigning in an open protocol a
decentralized network model for healthcare, replacing existing
systems with best of breed distributed technology in a layered and
integrated architecture. Decentralized key management,
privacy and consent are cornerstone capabilities in this new
healthcare economy and we believe NuCypher is on the leading edge
in this space," says HealthCombix Founder and CEO Cyrus Maaghul.
The NuCypher technology, called proxy re-encryption, is a type
of public-key encryption that allows a third-party proxy to
transform ciphertexts from one public key to another (using
re-encryption keys) without learning anything about the underlying
message. NuCypher is planning a token sale in the months
ahead and is backed by PolyChain Capital among other notable
investors. The NuCypher token will be used as an economic
incentive to ensure correctness of computation.
'We're excited to partner with HealthCombix to rethink
healthcare from the ground up. HealthCombix's modular approach is
differentiated and, I believe, correct. Decentralization will have
a significant impact on the healthcare industry in the coming years
and by giving patients greater control over their health records
and their treatment options, HealthCombix will be driving much of
this change," said NuCypher Founder and CEO MacLane Wilkinson.
HealthCombix is planning a token sale in Q4-2018/Q1-2019.
