Blockchain Summit 2022: Zero-Knowledge Proofs: A Jump ARCHES Project Discussion

views comments

Patient compliance to health system recommendations is notoriously difficult. A potential solution is to implement

incentivization programs that directly or indirectly reward patients in exchange for compliance. However, current regulatory

conditions prevent patients from receiving compensation to retain services from a specific health system. In short, paying a

patient to follow an initiative may be seen as an attempt to provide kickbacks to a patient for using a specific health system’s

service. This obstacle has effectively removed payment-for-compliance from the health system’s toolbox to encourage

individual health and, downstream, population health.

Could a decentralized application utilizing blockchain technology overcome this obstacle by employing zero-knowledge

proof protocols to provide double anonymity in the incentivization transaction?
