EHR Data and Twetch explore ‘data and beyond’ at Wales Tech Week

Events

One of the tracks at the Wales Tech Week on July 14 was “Applications of Blockchain: Data and Beyond,” featuring speakers including EHR Data senior architect and consultant Ron Austring and Twetch CEO Josh Petty.

In his presentation, Austring discussed how EHR Data will be using the Bitcoin blockchain, while Petty explored what the future of social networks is going to look like. 

A global electronic healthcare record

EHR Data is a health care platform that many people have been looking forward to since the EHR Data team spoke at CoinGeek London. During his Wales Tech Week presentation, Austring walked the audience through how EHR data will be using the Bitcoin blockchain.

A few of EHR Data’s goals are to put patients in control of their healthcare data and to create a proof-of-concept that uses the Bitcoin blockchain to mitigate the impact of the opioid crisis.

Austring explored a few of the reasons why the opioid crisis exists and persists in America, explaining how data regarding a patient’s opioid prescriptions are kept in multiple data silos that are not integrated and do not interact with each other and how that contributes to the opioid crisis. Afterward, Austring explained how Bitcoin provides a solution to this problem.

EHR Data plans to use the Bitcoin blockchain to consolidate data silos, give patients ownership of their data, and give patients loyalty rewards for permitting others to use their data. It will initially pilot this solution at a pharmacy in Missouri. If all is well, the importance of having a single source of data will be proved through this pilot. EHR Data’s vision is to be the company that is processing all prescriptions and doing it via the Bitcoin blockchain.

The future of social media

After Austring presented, Twetch CEO Josh Petty took the virtual stage to talk about what social media networks might look like in the future.

“The internet today feels like a big scam,” said Petty, who went on to explain how consumers (me and you) participate on social media networks like Facebook for free, generate revenue for the tech giant, yet, never see a percentage of the profit that we helped Facebook create.

That being said, the social media networks of the future are going to look different. Social media networks are going to have to have new incentive models, especially as consumers wise up in regards to how they are being exploited by tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. 

The incentive models that social media networks of the future have are going to incorporate elements that we already see in Petty’s Bitcoin-based social media network Twetch. On Twetch, users own their content and profit off of the information they post, as well as their following. 

On Twetch, users get paid when they receive a new follower as well as when other users like and share their posts. But that is just the tip of the iceberg; Twetch has a variety of inherent features that traditional social media platforms do not have. For instance because of Twetch’s pay-to-play model, and because it uses Bitcoin microtransactions, is non-custodial, and archives data by default, just using Twetch will serve as a deterrent to:

Petty closed out his presentation by recommending the audience check out Twetch if they already haven’t, and I recommend you do the same by heading over to Twetch.app and signing up.

Tune in this Thursday for more

The blockchain events at Wales Tech Week will run until July 16. We recommend tuning into the Blockchain for Enterprise event on that day, where Simit Naik, Director of Business Services at nChain, will be speaking to the audience about how nChain sees the enterprise market for blockchain and why blockchain technology is primed for businesses around the world.

You can register for the Blockchain for Enterprise event here, we hope to see you there!

EHR Data和Twetch在威尔士科技周上探讨“数据与超越”的话题

活动

在7月14日的威尔士科技周上，有一个会议活动的主题是“区块链的应用：数据和超越”，其主要演讲者包括EHR Data的高级架构师兼顾问罗恩·奥斯汀（Ron Austring），以及Twetch的首席执行官乔什·佩蒂（Josh Petty）。

奥斯汀在他的演讲中讨论了EHR Data将如何使用比特币区块链，而Petty则探讨了社交网络的未来面貌。

全球电子病历

自从EHR Data团队在CoinGeek伦敦会议上发表演讲以来，EHR Date就成为了很多人一直都在期待的医疗保健平台。在威尔士科技周的演讲中，奥斯汀向观众介绍了EHR Data将如何使用比特币区块链。

EHR Data的几个目标是让患者控制自己的医疗保健数据，以及创建一个通过使用比特币区块链来减轻阿片类药物危机影响的概念验证。

奥斯汀探究了阿片类药物危机在美国持续存在的几个原因，并说明了患者的阿片类药物处方的相关数据是如何保存在多个数据孤岛中的。这些数据孤岛并没有被合并，彼此之间也没有影响。同时，他还解释了这种情况是如何导致阿片类药物危机的。之后，奥斯汀解释了比特币是如何为这个问题提供解决方案的。

EHR Data计划使用比特币区块链来合并数据孤岛，给予患者数据所有权，并且给予患者允许他人使用其数据的忠诚度奖励。EHR Data一开始将在密苏里州的一家药店试验该解决方案。如果一切顺利，EHR Data将通过此次试验证明拥有单一数据源的重要性。EHR Data的愿景是成为一家通过比特币区块链处理所有处方的公司。

社交媒体的未来

在奥斯汀发言之后，Twetch的首席执行官Josh Petty登上虚拟舞台，探讨了社交媒体网络的未来状况。

佩蒂说：“今天的互联网感觉就像是一场大骗局。”他接着解释了消费者（我和你）是如何免费参与到Facebook之类的社交媒体网络的，以及我们如何为科技巨头创造收入，但却从未获得过我们为Facebook贡献利润的分成。

也就是说，未来的社交媒体网络将会显得与众不同。社交媒体网络将不得不产生新的激励模式，尤其是当消费者明确意识到他们是如何被谷歌、Facebook和Twitter等科技巨头利用的时候。

未来的社交媒体网络所具有的激励模式，将融入我们已经在佩蒂的基于比特币的社交媒体网络Twetch中看到的元素。在Twetch上，用户拥有自己的页面，并从自己发布的信息以及拥有的粉丝中获益。

在Twetch上，当用户获得新的粉丝以及其他用户点赞并分享他们的帖子时，他们就会获得报酬。但这只是冰山一角，Twetch还有传统社交媒体平台所不具备的各种固有特性。例如，由于Twetch的付费参与模式，而且它使用比特币小额支付，无需托管用户资金并且默认将数据存档，所以只要使用Twetch就能对以下事物起到制止作用：

在演讲的最后，佩蒂建议尚未注册的观众去尝试一下Twetch，同时我也建议您同样前往Twetch.app进行注册。

请在本周四收看更多信息

威尔士科技周的区块链活动将持续至7月16日。我们推荐大家关注当天的“企业区块链”活动，nChain商务总监Simit Naik将在活动上向观众介绍nChain如何看待区块链的企业市场，以及为什么区块链技术是为全球企业准备的。

您可以在这里注册参与“企业区块链”活动，我们希望在那里见到您！
