The Blockchain technology has been explored very little, if one takes into account the great potential it has for various applications. The health sector is one of those that is constantly updated, and Bowhead Health is one of the companies that has made the most efforts to innovate in this area.

In this sense, the company is developing a biometric test unit in real time, based on block chain technology.

## The Blockchain innovating the medical sector

Bowhead Health is a company dedicated to personalized medical care, whose main premise is the application of the well-known concept of the "Internet of Things" (Internet of Things), which aims to increase the level of comfort in our daily tasks, such as turning on the heating from your cell phone or even receive information about the health of your teeth from your toothbrush.

Society gets great benefits from any development that allows optimizing control in the health sector. In this sense, currently the need for personalized treatments is high, and, despite the fact that the health supplement market is valued at US $ 200 million per year, there are still many low-effectiveness generic solutions.

Bowhead Health has set out to change that reality, through a product that will allow the patient to have greater control over their health and obtain personalized responses.

The device can connect to the Internet and provide information to health professionals to advise their patients efficiently. For example, the device can recommend medications and nutritional supplements based on the need of each patient, and can also analyze biological samples.

The main advantage lies in the security provided by its operating system based on the block chain, which challenges conventional biometric measuring instruments and their vulnerability, as they are centralized networks.

## How does the Bowhead device work?

Its operating scheme is based on the Anonymized Healthcare (AHT) token, and is developed as follows:

There is a function that allows periodically monitor the private data of users and compare them with recent medical research in the area. In this case, the patient can access these data that will be anonymous and rent them through an intelligent contract.

In this way, if the user uses the device and provides a blood sample, Bowhead will rely on a computerized view to determine the strength of the reagent and the specialist will provide the data based on that reading.

Currently the company works with various institutions in the sector for the monetization of these activities, because by filling out surveys and anonymously sharing health data that match the information required by certain companies, the person can receive a profit in cryptocurrencies.

The device will have an application for iOS and Android, which will allow patients to interact with doctors and receive recommendations or reminders about their medication.

This system challenges the functioning of health care as we know it today. If you want to know more information, you can access the Bowhead technical document by clicking here
