Revolutionizing Healthcare Medical Records with Blockchain Tech

Vitals is an electronic medical record software with integrated blockchain technology which aims to revolutionize the management and security of medical records. Vitals offers you the best decentralized EMR system that gives full control to your health records and help you keep them safe and immutable.

Overall, Vitals offers the potential to improve data security, patient privacy, and interoperability in healthcare while empowering patients to have greater control over their medical records.

Healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers, face significant challenges in managing and securing patient health data efficiently. Existing electronic medical record (EMR) systems struggle to provide a secure, transparent, and interoperable platform for managing patient records.

Leveraging on blockchain technology to address key challenges in EMR management, ensuring data integrity and security, promoting interoperability and data sharing, protecting patient privacy and consent, and streamlining healthcare processes.

Since there was an already existing ecosystem for EMR software, my team and I conducted in-depth interviews with healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, and administrative staff, to understand their daily workflows and pain points when using EMR software. We also met various individuals and asked them about their experience with their medical record, privacy and possible changes they would want to have.

Identify the target market for EMR software

Understand users frustrations

Define a problem statement

Empathizing with users ensure that my team and I understands users need and it will help us to create products and experiences that truly resonate with users. This empathetic approach ensures that design solutions are not only functional but also meaningful and enjoyable for the people who use them. Ultimately, empathy is the foundation for creating user experiences that leave a lasting positive impression.

This process helped inform the design of EMR software by providing a comprehensive understanding of users, their needs, challenges, and emotional states. This information guided the design process, ensuring that the resulting software is user-centric, efficient, and empathetic to the unique demands of healthcare professionals and administrators.

This is the point where we started sharing solution ideas. We used HMW questions to explore different angles of the problem. These questions are typically framed as open-ended challenges. We were informed by the insights gained from the empathy map.
