VitalHub (TSXV:VHI) has announced the first sale of WellLinc, the company’s Blockchain Electronic Health Record interoperability solution.

As quoted in the press release:

Upon the successful implementation of the WellLinc Blockchain as a Service (“BaaS”) offering, both organizations will license the solution, which provides mental health and long-term care organizations with access to a secured, distributed client record that enables the interoperable exchange of critical patient health data across the continuum of care. VitalHub’s WellLinc solution is built utilizing the Hyperledger Fabric technology to support full interoperability that is not limited to read-only access to data. WellLinc allows organizations that update a client record in one node to automatically record that transaction and update it across all other trusted nodes.
Ernst & Young LLP (“EY Canada”) Health practice is collaborating with VitalHub on this project, and is exploring an outcomes-based ROI analysis of the impact of WellLinc, that will be used to support design decisions as the Company rolls-out and further expands the WellLinc solution into new geographies.
WellLinc’s infrastructure is easily and readily expandable to Local Health Integration Networks (“LHINs”) across Ontario, and more broadly for regional mental health programs across Canada.
VitalHub’s goal is to demonstrate the significant cost-savings and improved quality and coordination of care associated with the use of WellLinc, and to scale the adoption of this solution internationally to improve mental health and addictions services.
