Overview
The TrustiD SSI Platform empowers healthcare providers, patients, and medical devices with a new approach: decentralized digital identity and verifiable credentials. With TrustiD, healthcare organizations can securely verify identities, protect sensitive data, and streamline workflows while ensuring compliance and building trust with patients.
The Current Challenges in Healthcare Identity
Healthcare ecosystems are complex and fragmented, often involving multiple stakeholders and legacy systems. Here’s why traditional identity solutions fall short:
- Patient Data Silos: Patient records are often stored in disparate systems, making it difficult to share data seamlessly across providers.
- Risk of Identity Fraud: Identity theft and insurance fraud are serious issues in healthcare.
- Lack of Interoperability: Providers struggle to integrate digital health records with external systems.
- Regulatory Compliance Pressures: Regulations require stringent controls on access to sensitive medical data.
- Patient Engagement Gaps: Patients have limited control over their data, leading to frustration and disengagement.
How TrustiD Solves These Challenges
- Verifiable Credentials for Patient Identity: Cryptographically signed and instantly verifiable credentials eliminate paperwork and reduce fraud risk.
- Healthcare Professional & Staff Credentials: Role-based credentials ensure only authorized personnel access sensitive systems.
- Interoperability by Design: TrustiD integrates with EHR systems, patient portals, and data exchange networks.
- Selective Disclosure & Privacy: Patients control what information they share, with whom, and for how long.
- Ledger-Agnostic Verification: Support for multiple distributed ledgers and DIDs ensures flexibility and future-proofing.
How it Works
- Patient Onboarding & Verification: Patients receive a digital credential tied to a decentralized identifier (DID).
- Medical Professional Verification: Doctors and nurses receive role-based credentials attesting to their qualifications.
- Secure Data Sharing: Patients present verifiable credentials for instant data sharing across providers.
- Automated Access Control: Real-time access control decisions based on verified credentials.
