Toronto, Ontario, May 15, 2018 – GreenBank Capital Inc. (CSE: GBC and OTCMKTS: GRNBF and FRA; 2TL) (“GreenBank or the Company”) announces that its 100% subsidiary Medik Blockchain Inc (“Medik”) has commenced discussions with the Government of India’s Ministry of Health and Family Welfare with regard to the utilization of Medik’s eKYC-ID blockchain based medical confidentiality system as a core part of India’s new healthcare program. Medik has proposed that patient data be uploaded to a custom designed identification based blockchain by patients using a mobile phone application. All elements of the Indian healthcare system can then access that patient data on a permissioned basis. Such a system would link together multiple healthcare participants using disparate software, while providing secure and permissioned patient data, and reduce costs substantially.
Medik is in further discussions to establish one or more pilot schemes with Indian state governments at a local level to demonstrate the viability of its healthcare blockchain technology.
Discussions continue, and although there is no guarantee that such discussions will lead to a successful utilization of Medik’s technology, GreenBank and Medik are of the opinion that its eKYC-ID blockchain is a viable solution for the Indian healthcare system.
Medik has licensed its blockchain technology from Blockchain Evolution Inc, a GreenBank portfolio company that owns the world’s first identification based blockchain. Medik has the exclusive worldwide license for the healthcare industry.
