The Digipharm

Series: Meet The Digipharm Team Clinicians


Dr. Hasham Al-Meshhedani — Patient Engagement at Digipharm

Dr.Hasham Al- Al-Meshhedani is an Anesthetics & Critical Care Doctor with a background in Physiology and Pharmacology. He is diversely experienced in multiple medical specialties including Oncology, Cardiology, Respiratory Medicine, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery and Endocrinology. Involved in medical education and the use of technology to advance “Point of Care Learning” in the workplace. His current projects include research into advancing healthcare efficiency through innovative technologies.

How long have you been a clinician, and what is your specialty?
I have been a qualified doctor for… 9 years!….Gosh! How time flies!
Since qualifying, I have been through a number of specialties within medicine. This includes general internal medicine, emergency medicine and oncology to name just a few. However, I am currently a specialist registrar in Anaesthesia and Critical Care.
What is your role with Digipharm, and what drove you to join the team?
I have always been interested in digital health. Playing with expensive gadgets and new technology is what drove me to my chosen specialty! When I saw the emergence of blockchain technologies I immediately started to wonder about the possible benefits to the wider healthcare system.
My background prior to the medical profession was in Physiology and Pharmacology: the study of how drugs work and how they affect the body as well as the study surrounding drug development. This too has been something that highly interests me. So, Digipharm ticks all these boxes for me.
As a clinician I have a duty to be an advocate for my patients and I strive to practice evidence based medicine to improve patient outcomes according to the latest evidence and guidelines. I am also a passionate believer in value based care being the missing piece for modern healthcare systems. Especially in the NHS, as clinicians we have the responsibility to improve the outcomes of our patients while improving healthcare efficiency. With digipharm we can reduce the problem of access to expensive treatments because with value based pricing we can reduce the burden from drugs that are less effective and focus on more effective treatments depending on the outcomes that we want to achieve.
My role within Digipharm is to bring together patients and clinicians to improve access and engagement to shape the future of this platform to meet their needs across multiple disciplines.

 How can innovative pricing models change the healthcare industry?
Its simple really- people and healthcare systems will pay the right price for the right medications. These drugs make a difference to patients outcomes. Pricing structures based on outcomes as opposed to volume will free up resources to drugs that make a difference in the lives of patients. It incentivises pharmaceutical companies to work hard to provide drugs that do the intended job and do it well.

 Can you think of a time where value based pricing models would have changed a patients life, or made your job different/better?
In 2016 the NHS in the UK spent £16.8 Billion on medicines, this had gone up by 8% from the year before and 29% form 6 years before that! Its simply not sustainable. Value based pricing is a solution that all healthcare systems need, and have needed for quite some time. It will be for the benefit of all patients, collectively, and allow us to ensure that medicines are priced according to the outcomes that they help to produce. We can monitor these outcomes through the real world evidence database, Insights.

Introducing Digipharm

Introducing Digipharm: Bringing Value Based Healthcare to Life Using Blockchain Technology



The Digipharm team is pleased to present our official whitepaper. We invite you to view it by visiting our website at: https://digipharm.ch/
Join our mailing list for the most relevant and up to date information regarding token sale and whitelisting details, partnerships, and news.

Who We Are

Digipharm will enable the restructure of healthcare by merging industry expertise and next generation technology. Our success will be measured by improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and a strong DPH token utility.

The Problem

Inherent flaws and infrastructural limitations of the global healthcare systems result in substantial inefficiency, wastage and sub-optimal health outcomes for the most important stakeholder; the patient.
Innovative pricing models provide viable solutions to the aforementioned problems. Unfortunately, most healthcare providers or payers around the world lack the relevant infrastructure to track and implement outcomes based pricing agreements, and so are shy in adopting innovative pricing contracts and policies. In healthcare today, there is a lack of incentive for health systems and providers to focus on mutually beneficial collaboration and the maximization of patient outcomes. Though it is widely agreed that the transition to value based pricing is necessary, progress in doing so has been slow.
In addition to the barriers in implementing outcome based pricing, patient data is fragmented. The lack of easily accessible and comprehensive real world evidence (RWE) data currently prevents stakeholders in healthcare to evaluate the real time performance and value provided by therapy in real life clinical practice as part of a value based healthcare delivery system.

Digipharm’s Flagship Solutions





By using public and private blockchains, we will facilitate and accelerate the restructure of healthcare to a value based model, and improve patient outcomes by providing access to real world evidence. Digipharm’s dynamic ecosystem features two platforms- Reimburse and Insights.

REIMBURSE
Thus far, the biggest hurdle in moving away from the inefficient fee for service pricing models has been infrastructural limitations. Reimburse will allow patients, providers, and health authorities to align in a way that mitigates risk and improves patient outcomes through outcome based pricing. Using smart contracts, Reimburse will facilitate real time application of personalized and performance based innovative pricing solutions between payers and manufacturers. Seamless integration with existing health information systems and administrative infrastructure of participating institutions will eliminate the need for manual data handling and processing of pricing agreements. The Reimburse platform will drastically reduce administrative costs currently associated with the implementation of value-based pricing schemes and potentially revolutionize drug pricing and healthcare provision as we know it today.

INSIGHTS
Insights is the world’s first live real world evidence (RWE) data repository. Anonymized data from the Reimburse platform will be extracted to create this repository. Additional health related data such as genomic data will also be linked to the Insights platform in partnership with leading evidence providers in the industry, to create an unparalleled health data marketplace in preparation for a value-based, data-driven future of healthcare. The use of cryptographically encrypted blockchain technology also eliminates all patient privacy and data security concerns that affect current RWE generation systems. RWE is playing an increasingly influential role in informing decision making within the healthcare industry and yet the delay of RWE outputs, the expenses of data access and the current methods of data collection negate many of the benefits of utilizing these rich data resources.
Insights will provide a symbiotic solution with Reimburse to complement the progressive transformation towards value based healthcare delivery systems. The development of a ‘live’ evidence repository will allow the integration of knowledge back in to the delivery system in real time to facilitate drug development, health related research and post marketing studies.
Digipharm aims to be the pioneer of sustainable and value-based healthcare delivery, innovative evidence generation and patient empowerment across the healthcare industry. We invite you to be a part of this meaningful journey.

D I G I P H A R M

1. HealtHealthcare Beyond Barriers hcare Beyond Barriers.

Digipharm brings together industry expertise, a mature concept and revolutionary blockchain technology to facilitate the transformation of healthcare to a value-based approach. 

Spiralling healthcare costs combined with resource constraints have resulted in an unremitting burden on health systems. Trade-offs need to be made, patients are at risk of being denied innovative treatments and there remains barriers to reimbursement for manufacturers. 

Digipharm bypasses infrastructural limitations to enable the implementation of flexible value-based pricing agreements using smart contracts, the development of unprecedented evidence platforms and the ability to reward patients for contributing their data.

2. The Future of Healthcare

     Value Based Care

Healthcare systems around the world are currently threatened by challenges unique to our time; unsustainable expenditure, ageing populations and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. The concept of value based healthcare proposes that payment for healthcare should be tied to the quality of care and the benefits it provides; switching from a ‘fee for service’ to a ‘fee for performance’ reimbursement model.

3. The Digipharm Difference

a. Elimination of Barriers

Whilst value based healthcare provides the solution to numerous issues faced by healthcare systems, the extensive uptake of a value-based approach has been hindered by the infrastructural limitations of current health information systems, the administrative burden of its implementation and the fragmentation of health care delivery and patient outcomes data.

b. Patient Empowerment

Digipharm are strong believers in empowering patients with the custodianship and ownership of their personal data. Patients will be incentivised to share and contribute their health related data to inform decision making and health related research.

c. Blockchain Technology

Digipharms’ solutions will facilitate and accelerate the paradigm shift to value based and patient centric healthcare using ‘smart contracts’ and blockchain technology. Utilising blockchain technology for Digipharms’ platforms promotes the development of a decentralised health information infrastructure that is ubiquitous, transparent and security conscious.

3. Our Flagship Solutions

Reimburse will eliminate the infrastructural barriers and automate the implementation of value based pricing agreements, no matter how complex, on a fully independent global platform; encouraging personalised reimbursement of health technology on a ‘fee for performance’ basis for the mutual benefit of patients, payers and manufacturers.
Insights is the first ever ‘live’ real world evidence repository and allows the utilisation of real world evidence (RWE) as soon as it becomes available. The availability of ‘live’ RWE will provide stakeholders with real time intelligence with which they can inform decision making and product development across the medicinal lifecycle.

Introducing Beaxy: The All-in-One Cryptocurrency Exchange


2017 was a huge year for cryptocurrency. Going from near obscurity to mainstream attention in the span of less than one year is quite a feat for any emerging technology. Those that truly believe in the power of the blockchain might say they saw this coming, but regardless of how you feel about this transformational technology it’s hard to reflect on the past year and say you knew that someone would be shilling Bitcoin live on Capitol Hill.


While we all know the “price” of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies has been extremely volatile up to this stage, we don’t know exactly how this phenomenon will disrupt current markets in the long run. During this incubation period for crypto we should expect to see many brilliant projects rise out this new blockchain movement, and — while some may fail —the winners in the cryptosphere are likely going to reshape the way we live our lives on a day-to-day basis. Not unlike the way the internet has changed the way we consume media, process transactions, and access services.

The implications for successfully integrating this “Trust Layer” of internet technology at a scalable level will be massive and it is our belief that cryptocurrency exchanges will play an integral role in this mission. Our vision is to create a convenient, secure, all-in-one platform that helps to facilitate a world where cryptocurrencies are as accessible as fiat currencies.
Unfortunately, exchanges up to this point have been less than ideal for the average trader. Exorbitant fees, confusing user interfaces, little or no customer support, and even downright refusal to register new accounts all have been issues the community has had to deal with at one point or another. As most of us at Beaxy have been active traders for some time now, we have become very familiar with these challenges, so working to build an exchange that tackled these issues while remaining transparent was a no-brainer for us.
That, in essence, is the goal for the Beaxy team. We were brought together via a cryptocurrency Slack channel so we find it paramount to serve the community that helped us get to this point in the first place. Beaxy will be an exchange with powerful financial tools for seasoned traders and professional investors. It will also be an exchange where newcomers can learn the ropes of the rapidly evolving blockchain domain and feel comfortable executing trades on their own — armed with all the information and resources you might need to succeed. If you would like to see what we plan to offer in full detail we invite you to head over to our site where you can find our whitepaper. If you are only interested in the Token Sale aspect of our project we’ve put together a lightpaper for you. And finally, if you would like to stay up to date with all the latest Beaxy news we will be posting updates on our social media channels. We are listed on Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram. Feel free to reach out through any of these channels!

Preparing for Takeoff — A Quick Look at Beaxy’s Features and Where We’re Headed
