Grapevine World is a decentralized, borderless ecosystem for the seamless exchange of health data in a standardized, secure manner. Populated with every stakeholder in health – from patients to pharma, care providers to payers, researchers and technicians – Grapevine World is the backbone of a new global market.
BE PART OF THE FUTURE OF BLOCKCHAIN POWERED HEALTHCARE
Provide you access to your complete picture of fitness and clinical health data
Enable the seamless exchange of health data in a standardized, secure manner
Enable utilization of health data, based on informed consent, for research purposes
We facilitate a decentralized, borderless ecosystem populated with every stakeholder in health (from patients to pharma, care providers to payers, researchers and technologists). We achieve this by combining market-proven, standards-based interoperability (IHE, Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise) and innovative blockchain technology.
We want to improve the overall health of the global population. In order to do so, it’s crucial to increase access to high quality care, which in turn improves the overall patient experience. In addition, affordability increases for not just the individual but all stakeholders of the healthcare system.
IHE standards
for the most efficient and secure exchange of all the health data
Blockchain technology
for the utility of the Grapevine World Token and all the automated processes, allocations and provenance
Interrupted dataflow means broken healthcare. The current healthcare industry is stucked due to diverse, uncoordinated and unconnected data sources and systems. The resulting lack of access to data and its application leads to delays, mistake diagnosis, error in prescriptions, and sometimes even death.
INTEROPERABILITY (IHE)
Our secure and standardized data exchange layer integrates and leverages healthcare legacy systems.
BLOCKCHAIN
Stakeholders automatically receive rewards (Token) for sharing anonymized data and providing diverse services.
Patients gain control over their health data, as they can access their data at any time, anywhere. They decide whom to share their data with, and for what use, granting explicit consent on a case-by-case basis - with privacy assured by full data anonymization.
Every use of patient data is rewarded with blockchain based crypto-tokens (Grapevine World tokens), that can be used in exchange for products and services – apps, gadgets, medical advice and care. Alternatively, you can also purchase Grapevine World tokens from an exchange.
Health organizations gain access to vast troves of previously inaccessible data with patient’s consent. Universities, Pharma, technology companies, medical device manufacturers, public sector entities and Healthcare Provider Organizations (HPOs) can all source data - with the authorization to use it - for research, education, software development and any other conceivable health project.
Individuals gain complete control over their data: able to access it anywhere in the world, at any time, with absolute authority over whom it’s shared with – receiving Grapevine World tokens every time they share information.
Organizations gain access to previously unavailable data, with the authorization to use it for research, education, clinical studies, fitness reward programs and any other conceivable health project – ultimately improving healthcare for all.
With Grapevine World Tokens, you can buy existing and future healthcare services and products, including expert consultation, ongoing care, fitness apps, gadgets and more health-related services. Patients gain access to new options in healthcare.
The map below displays some of the places where IHE infrastructure is in use today to connect healthcare providers to other provider organizations. While some of these areas are as small as a single community, others comprise entire states, regions or even whole countries. Overall, clinical data exchange of over 300 million patients is facilitated by IHE-compliant health information technology. See all the projects here.

In an effort to integrate investigations and understanding across levels of biological organization, the Fenton laboratory uses genetic, molecular, electrophysiological, imaging, behavioral, engineering, and theoretical methods to investigate these fundamental and interrelated issues in neuroscience. André and colleagues identified PKMzeta as the first molecule that maintains the persistence of memories in the brain, a discovery recognized by Science Magazine as one of the 10 most important breakthroughs in all of science and technology published in 2006. André founded Bio-Signal Group Corp., which developed and commercialized an FDA-approved portable, wireless, and easy to use platform for obtaining medical quality EEGs anywhere, anytime, and for everyone.
