This $275,000 Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) to Medimint, a minority-owned and woman-owned small business. The award funds the development of a blockchain-powered medical image sharing platform to address challenges with current data transfer practices in the healthcare industry.

The key objectives are to design novel security protocols and smart contracts that enable decentralized access control and data sharing, while ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA. The project aims to integrate blockchain with off-chain storage to facilitate efficient and secure storage and retrieval of medical imaging data. The anticipated technical outcomes include a functional prototype demonstrating seamless generation of non-fungible tokens representing medical images, with metadata references stored on decentralized networks. The platform will empower patients with ownership over their data and enable healthcare providers to securely release records while assigning dynamic access permissions. This effort has the potential to significantly reduce the $30B national burden from redundant medical imaging and catalyze a transformation to a more unified, patient-centric health ecosystem.
