Overview
– Medicalchain is decentralized platform that enables exchange and usage of medical data.
– Medicalchain is built on the permissioned based Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum which allows various level of assess to users. As a result of this dual structure, patients have control over their health records while doctors can assess the necessary information.
– MedToken being an app token using as an access to the platform’s services. Registered doctors will be rewarded with tokens to remotely review medical information and provide advice or a second opinion on a case.
Opportunities
– Clear use case of blockchain technology.
– The team has significant experience in medical industry, understands the industry pain points and have execution capabilities. The team has started working on this project since 2016 and thus has built strong network and raised awareness for their project in the medical industry.
– The project has attracted a lot of attention and has as of today 37,000 members in the Telegram group.
Risks
– Diluted market cap is quite high (diluted market cap at ICO is USD 68.6m). While hard cap is only 24m, this represents 35% of total tokens supply.
– Medical workforce is not quite technology savvy. Blockchain application is still in its infancy. It might take quite a while to take it mainstream.
– Roadmap is only available for two years 2018 and 2019 and there is no financial information available. It was not mentioned how the funds are going to be used, and how company generates value.
Our opinion
Short- term: Positive
The project has a developed an MVP (minimum viable product), established strong partnerships with the industry, attracted attention from the media. The team has demonstrated to be experienced and capable.
Medium-term: Positive
In the medium run, if the project roadmap is carried out as planned, the outlook is positive
Long-term: Neutral
We are doubtful of the mass adoption of the blockchain technology in the traditional medical industry where the workforce is not that tech savvy.
