Med-ifile is pioneering the use of blockchain technology in healthcare to establish trustworthy, value-based relationships among patients, healthcare providers, and businesses, enhancing privacy and security of sensitive personal data. The system facilitates direct access to medical records through decentralized storage, dynamic consent, and smart contracts while addressing legal and economic aspects of health data management. Its initial application targets the field of in vitro fertilization, catering to a significant global population in need.

11. Basic concepts
• Personal data accounts: personal data storage clouds enabling
individual access from any personal device through the blockchain in a
probative, secure, open and decentralized manner
• Blockchain: a digital ledger where information relating to the
distributed storage of the health data is trimmed in hash-based
language code, making it possible both to assign to each dataset a
unique ID
• Dynamic consent: the possibility for individuals to provide different
types of consent according to distinct potential data uses, taking
control over who will access his/her data and for what purpose
• Smart contracts: self-executing contractual states, based on the
formalisation of contractual relations in digital form, which are stored
on the blockchain and automate the execution of peer-to-peer
transactions under user-defined conditions
