MedRec used the value of data to incentivise ‘mining’ of the blockchain, which is required for the system to the chain to advance. MedRec is the combination of a social need with a technological enabler: a system that prioritizes patient agency, giving a transparent and accessible view of medical history. To continue the banking analogy, financial systems may contain multiple different depositories of currency, perhaps one for each provider network.The first implementation of Medrec was developed using the Ethereum blockchain. Currently, the group are working on bridging from a previous iteration of the Ethereum blockchain to a more up-to-date chain, considering revisions to the architecture as they do so.
