They drive adoption to their system from the ground up with targeted enterprise applications that provide immediate operational benefits to healthcare providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies and labs.
Tips they shared:
- Try to keep it simple
- Start of a business model first
- Put some thoughts into a business problem and try to develop a solution.
- Think of a business model that you are actually solving and need? And does blockchain actually need to be involved at all?
- In blockchain healthcare, ask if it is desirable, viable or feasible then ask if anybody is going to pay
- Just because someone else is doing it doesn't mean you can't do it better than them
- Talk to your clients and validate your ideas before putting a ton of time in building it out

Company Background:
Coral Health is a healthcare blockchain entity where they build blockchain solution to leverage technology in order to increase primary data exchange within the healthcare industry. The driving empaties behind Coral Health is that they find that patients and doctors spends a lot of time, dealing with frustrations (in terms of getting access to the best care possible), and a lot of it stem from the fact that they can't share their information easily throughout the system. By leveraging healthcare data and medical records, they are able to give the customer a tailored treatment at the point of care rather than a one size-fits-all health care delivery system that currently exist today.
