Bringing Patient Sovereignty over Health Data
Plan Chomanan, CEO and Founder & Dr. Jose Morey, Co-Founder & Chief Health Officer"We believe in solving these issues by empowering patients to own healthcare data and drive the value themselves; allowing them to be the central beneficiaries," says Plan Chomanan, the CEO and founder of Ever Medical Technologies.
Ever Medical Technologies is driven by a mission to develop the requisite technology to bring about patient sovereignty over health data through a new decentralized health data paradigm. It opens the door for multi-faceted improvement in healthcare services while lowering costs.
A Comprehensive Technology Ecosystem
Ever Medical Technologies has designed a comprehensive technology ecosystem, consisting of products that work independently or in concert with legacy systems. They are collectively designed to introduce the benefits of state-of-the-art blockchain technology and decentralized data storage/access to healthcare while generating significant revenue for practices.
The first product in the technology ecosystem is a decentralized health wallet. "This is the reason why we started the company. We expect everyone in the world to have a health wallet containing their comprehensive health information," says Chomanan.
The wallet allows patients to have control over the access and use of their health data. In fact, if a patient requests to delete a piece of information from their health wallet, it will be deleted permanently. The current version of the wallet utilizes a more centralized blockchain technology Hyperledger Fabric. The next version of the product, which is arriving shortly this year, will leverage an underlying network that utilizes public Blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, etc.) and peer-to-peer technologies to achieve the benefits of decentralization.
Medical tourism is the first large-scale application Ever Medical Technologies targets with its decentralized health wallet. The company is developing has launched a medical tourism website (ever.healthcare) and smartphone app (the first example of an Ever Healthcare Application) that will embed the Decentralized Health Wallet to help patients find qualified providers. Second in the line is a decentralized data gateway. It is the first component Ever Medical Technologies built after the initial decentralized health wallet protocols. The data gateway transforms the incoming data to a central standard such as FHIR / HL7 to ensure that it is securely stored inside the company's decentralized health wallet. Ever Medical Technologies has also designed a Health Data Activation Platform (HDAP) to support the network functionality and necessary data standardization across various care providers.
When Ever Medical Technologies started building the Hyperledger Fabric version of its decentralized health wallet for hospital networks, it had to build data gateways and data pipelines for multiple hospitals. The different datasets (from various providers, EMRs, etc.) were then unified into a standardized holistic patient record stored inside Ever Medical Technologies' centralized database, creating health information exchange (HIE) capabilities within the HDAP. Once the data was in a usable format, the company built provider-facing applications that enable practices to utilize their aggregated patient data internally for business intelligence.
"The HDAP platform is now operational across a network of hospitals representing millions of patients," says Dr. Jose Morey, Co-Founder & Chief Health Officer, Ever Medical Technologies. The future version of the HDAP will mirror an anonymized version of patient data in the company's platform, allowing business intelligence or research applications to utilize the data to produce insights. This configuration will allow Ever Medical Technologies to maintain the benefits of a decentralized database while permitting the widest possible universe (different front end applications for different use cases, including biopharma research, insurance, and population health) of data customers to work with the anonymized data.
While aggregating increasing amounts of data through its HDAP and the original version of the decentralized health wallet, it became evident to Ever Medical Technologies that most hospitals were working with subpar hospital information systems. As a result, data across various care streams was siloed—limiting the usability of patient data at a hospital or health system level. To solve this problem, the company architected a leading-edge hospital information system (HIS/EMR) that ensures the proper utilization of data across the entire care continuum. Ever Medical Technologies is also planning to open-source a part of its core HIS product for small clinics and medical center use.
Last but not least, Ever Medical Technologies offers the Ever Healthcare Applications—a patient-facing application layer that links a patient's decentralized health wallet to healthcare systems/ care providers. Applications are being developed in this layer to help patients digitally access care or make appointments at a physical care location (clinic/hospital scheduling system, medical tourism services, etc.)
Scripting Intriguing Instances of Client Success
The comprehensive technology ecosystem has enabled Ever Medical Technologies to serve many clients. The list includes the Ministry of Public Health of Thailand, public hospitals in the Eastern Economic Corridor covering three main provinces and two associated areas, including Bangkok, medical schools in the U.S., and medical tourism platforms in Thailand, Latin America, Korea, and India.
In one instance, for one of its clients, Ever Medical Technologies facilitated full healthcare data interoperability through its health data activation platform and patient-centric mobile application for 2.4 million patients in real-time. These datasets were fed to the health data activation platform, through which health data was aggregated into a unified patient record.
As a result, the client obtained patients' full health and financial records across primary, secondary, and tertiary care providers. The company then facilitated different data-driven applications from the unified data, including third-party administration for claim reconciliation/claim process, referral management system, epidemiology surveillance system, and population health system.

Fuelling Data-Driven Clinical Research
Ever Medical Technologies' solution suite also plays a vital role in making clinical trials more efficient.
In the case of publicly-funded clinical research, the regulatory bodies have made it compulsory to submit research data to public repositories, including ClinicalTrials.gov or Figshare. However, these databases are rarely updated. It becomes a problem if research data turns out to be negative (data that does not prove/ disprove hypothesis) creating unnecessary expenditure and multiple repetitions of multi-trials. Lastly, an overwhelming 30,000 trials are being published annually - going through all of these to list or verify is virtually impossible.
Ever Medical Technologies addresses these challenges by maintaining a complete database pointer logged directly from patients' validated health history and outcomes. Its solutions allow for accountability and transparency when maintaining and using this repository. The data is deposited on specific blocks, published and timestamped on the blockchain, and links are directed to the relevant clinical trials. A study pinning or referencing a single link of trial data could then be easily traced. This also opens up the possibility of a subscription-based model for pharmaceutical firms and research institutions to view past or ongoing trials. The permissioned access to historical research data from CROs or research bodies ensures the timely and improved submission of clinical trial data for research projects. This can eliminate data silos and prevent new participants from undergoing previously tested trials.
The Journey Toward a Promising Future
Ever Medical Technologies plans to expand in the U.S., Europe, and West Africa regions. The company will also delve deeper into peer-to-peer and cryptographic technologies to ensure patient ownership rights, security, and privacy.
Through these efforts, Ever Medical Technologies is looking to change the way the world perceives data and the future of the internet a dream the company's founder has been cherishing for years. Growing up as a computer geek, Chomanan embarked on the entrepreneurial journey just at the age of 13. After introducing to the world of blockchain, it did not take long for Chomanan to realize the immense potential of the decentralization technology for helping the healthcare industry that lacked trustable exchanges of data across multiple stakeholders.
Today, Ever Medical Technologies rightly embodies its founder's entrepreneurial spirit and innovative mindset by introducing the benefits of blockchain in the healthcare sector for a better future.
The company believes that sensitive personal data should not be aggregated to a centralized place in the upcoming years, both technically and regarding trust. This is also true for healthcare data—it should only be accumulated and exchanged in a way that patients can fully control. Ever Medical Technologies is taking the right steps toward this mission. By allowing patient empowerment and aligning stakeholders right to the patients' level, Ever Medical hopes to see a spring of limitless innovations in healthcare.
