  • Publication number: 20250292295
    Abstract: A distributed network system in a healthcare environment provides for proof of value transactions among various stakeholders like patients, providers, and payers. The system operates based on predefined intervention, valuation, and communication rules governed by a consensus contract. These rules determine interventions in response to therapeutic events, attribute valuations to interventions for different stakeholders, and regulate communications within the network. The system records therapeutic events, selects interventions, communicates them to relevant nodes, assessing valuations, and settling transactions according to the consensus contract. Different scenarios are outlined, such as interventions based on diagnoses or observations, including actions directed towards patients or providers, and rewards for achieving therapeutic goals. Overall, the system enables transparent and accountable transactions in healthcare by leveraging distributed ledger technology within a consensus-driven network.

  • Publication number: 20250292914
    Abstract: A distributed healthcare network system stores intervention, context, and communication rules in databases, defining responses to patient-related events. Context includes factual circumstances tied to the patient. The system constructs a distributed ledger for each patient, incorporating their profile, therapeutic events, and context indicators based on predefined rules. Interventions are selected according to patient context and communicated to relevant network nodes, with records added to the ledger. AI models trained on patient data help identify subtle scenarios from context indicators and suggest alternative actions. Intervention rules rely on fixed thresholds and AI-driven analysis to determine appropriate responses. The ledger, distributed across the network, ensures transparency, enhances communication among patients, providers, and payers, and streamlines healthcare transactions.

  • Publication number: 20140207486
    Abstract: A decentralized system with at least a server (130, 140) and a plurality of remote devices including at least a member device (150), a caregiver device (120) and a support device (110) configured for use by a at least one person in a support team network for a user of the member device. The system is configured to allow the server and the remote devices to communicate over a network to define a continuity of care network (CCN 100) for managing the flow of member related information between the member device (150), the caregiver device (120) and the support device (110); receive behavioral change communications in response to health events related to the member; and transmit communications regarding the received behavioral change communications to at least one user of the member device (150), the caregiver device (120) and the support device (110).
