The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Softhread Inc., a woman-owned technology company, a $984,905 Cooperative Agreement under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program. This SBIR Phase II project expands upon previous Phase I work to develop a "zero-trust" blockchain-based solution for securing the confidential exchange of precision health data such as advanced directives and life-sustaining treatment plans. The technology combines blockchain, artificial intelligence, and edge computing capabilities to enhance data privacy, security, and operational efficiency in healthcare applications. This solution functions as an overlay to legacy systems, easily integrating with existing information management infrastructure. In addition to the direct impact within the healthcare domain, the technology has the potential for broader economic and societal benefits by preventing data breaches and reducing the total cost of healthcare.
