Announcement

Team Update:

We are happy to welcome six new developers to our growing team:

  • Olivier Conan, is doing a fantastic job in leading up our iOS development for the Apple application.

Olivier Conan

“Although I am an experienced developer, working for a health company has presented itself with its own challenges. Knowing that we aim to make a big difference to people’s health worldwide has been a great driving force behind this.”

  • Maxime Fischer, is focussing on backend development.
  • Ahmed Hassanein, our new junior full-stack developer.
  • Max Port, also joining us as a junior developer supporting the lead developers.
  • Simone Cascino, is our new senior Android Developer
  • Luca Costa, is a junior Android and full-stack developer.

Product Development

MyClinic.com:

We are pleased to announce that our first product, the MyClinic.com application is now live, you can download the application through the Apple App store if you are residing within the UK, download here.

MyClinic.com is a subsidiary of Medicalchain that provides telemedicine services to patients who are in need of an online consultation, with more functionalities to come. MyClinic.com is the first application in the world to support cryptocurrency as a form of payment for online medical treatment.

Maria Rodriguez, the first patient to use cryptocurrency to access an appointment with her GP, said: “It’s super cool to finally use cryptocurrency to purchase services. MyClinic.com is easy to use and I love the fact that I can talk to a doctor I know well and trust. I found the report that was sent by the doctor within a few minutes really helpful and reassuring. I’m definitely going to use MyClinic.com again and I’ve already started telling my friends and family about it.”

You can pick up the story — here.

We are progressing now with our development with a focus on v1.5 of the MyClinic.com application, we are also working on the development of the Health Platform which we aim to incorporate into the MyClinic.com application by Q3 2019.

The Health Platform will act as the foundation of all of the Medicalchain products and will be different from the Health Passport which will be its own application outright.

Robert Miller, sat on the panel discussion “ICOs and Financing of Blockchain Startups and Initiatives,” at The Healthcare Blockchain SUMMIT.

“Thought leaders from across the blockchain in healthcare industry converged on Boston to come together for The Second Annual Healthcare Blockchain Summit. Presentation content was level headed and pragmatic; the excessive hype normally associated with blockchain was cut out. Instead there was a focus on implementation and what needs to happen for blockchain in healthcare adoption. I was excited to play a role, giving a taxonomy of cryptoassets and sharing what we have learned at Medicalchain.”

Natalie Furness, Medicalchain’s Director of Communication presented MyClinic.com and answered questions on the implementation of blockchain technology in healthcare.


“It was wonderful to share the details of MyClinic.com, with our community in London.

I explained that UK citizens will be able to download the application, following the launch however, individuals are welcome to register with The Groves Medical Group to become part of the trial.

Consensus 2018, New York


Robert’s Thoughts on Consensus 2018

Representing Medicalchain at Consensus 2018 was Robert Miller who continues to drive interest in the US for our solution

“Blockchain Week is a whirlwind of activity with Consensus at the heart of the storm; nearly 10,000 people converged on the Hilton Midtown, New York for three days to discuss the greatest and latest developments in blockchain technology. I was honored to represent Medicalchain on a panel discussing the state of blockchain in healthcare. In my discussions on and off stage, I was invigorated by the passion in the people I spoke to and the unique opportunity we have today to help build a better future. Reflecting on these conversations today, I can unequivocally say that I’ve never been more excited for the future or to be a part of the blockchain revolution.”
