Global health management is currently facing numerous complex problems, among which the uneven distribution of medical resources is particularly prominent. In some regions, there are advanced medical facilities and concentrated medical talents, while in other regions, especially in remote and poverty-stricken areas, people have difficulty accessing basic medical care. This imbalance in distribution leads to significant differences in the accessibility and quality of medical services.
The problem of data silos is also a major challenge in health management. Data among different medical institutions is difficult to share and exchange, and patients' medical records are scattered across various hospitals and clinics. This not only poses difficulties for doctors' diagnosis and treatment but also increases the medical costs and risks for patients.
The lack of systematic health management is another urgent problem to be solved. Often, health management only focuses on disease treatment while ignoring prevention, rehabilitation, and long-term health maintenance. With the accelerating process of population aging, the number of patients with chronic diseases is increasing year by year, and the pressure on medical resources is growing.
In the traditional medical system, poor information flow leads to low medical efficiency. Patients often need to rush between different departments and repeat examinations and diagnoses. The dispersion of medical records makes it difficult for doctors to fully understand the patient's medical history, thereby affecting the treatment effect. In addition, the issue of inadequate protection of patient privacy has frequently raised social concerns. The leakage of personal health information may cause many troubles and risks to patients.
The emergence of blockchain technology, especially the innovative application of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), has opened up new solutions to these difficult problems. DAO, through smart contracts, can achieve autonomous management, ensure data transparency and immutability, greatly improve the utilization efficiency of medical resources, and strongly promote the innovation and development of health management.
Take diabetes management as an example. The traditional management method may require patients to return to the hospital for follow-up visits regularly, and doctors adjust the treatment plan based on blood glucose monitoring data. However, due to the irregular self-monitoring of patients and incomplete data records, doctors have difficulty accurately grasping the condition. Through the Big Health DAO, patients can use smart blood glucose meters to upload blood glucose data to the blockchain platform in real-time. Doctors can view and adjust the treatment plan at any time. At the same time, smart contracts can automatically remind patients to take medicine and measure blood glucose on time, achieving a systematic and intelligent management of diabetes.
