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?
