AVENTURA, Fla., Dec. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Life Clips, Inc. (OTC Pink: LCLP) (the “Company”) announced today that the National Health Authority has selected its Belfrics subsidiary, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, to issue approximately 1 million Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) IDs by the end of June 2023 using its decentralized Belshare application. The ABHA number is a 14-digit number that uniquely identifies individuals as participants in India’s digital healthcare ecosystem. An individual’s ABHA number will establish a strong and trusted identity that healthcare providers and payers across the country will accept.
The Indian digital health market is booming owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, which sparked a wave of digital transformation across the healthcare ecosystem. It is predicted to reach
India’s National Digital Health Mission intends to provide essential support for the country’s digital health infrastructure integration. BelfricsBT Pvt Ltd has completed the Milestone 1 (M1) integration with its identity management DAPP (Belshare), and received an M1 License from National Health Authority, Government of India.
BelfricsBT Director Vazeem Jadeer said, “Identity dApp (Belshare) will be used for issuing the digital healthcare identity (ABHA IDs) across all states of India with document management as one of the key features. Patient record management, patient registration, patient ID, and healthcare profession certificate can be stored in the Belshare wallet, which is built on a decentralized network. Post-Covid, there has been a significant shift towards digital healthcare, and we believe the Belshare solution will accelerate the digital adoption for the nation.”
Belfrics will further target the state governments to build facilities and practitioner modules to build a wider solution to interoperate government healthcare data.
Satish Shekar, Founder, and CEO of YoSyn, said, “It is an honor to have been associated with Belfrics in this project. We originally started it as a Covid-19 challenge initiated by the International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore, a research university in Bangalore, India, and Mphasis. After that, we were awarded a sandbox license from National Health Authority, Government of India. Today we have completed M1, and I am confident that Belfrics will also complete M2 and M3 in the near future.” Mr. Shekar continued, “Belfrics’ revolutionary KYC-based Belrium blockchain is capable of being a market leader in the health sector compared to competitors in the market.”
Praveen Kumar, CEO and Founder of Belfrics Group of companies said, “To be a part of the ABDM initiative to create national health ID for 1.3 billion people in India reiterates Belfrics’ capability and commitment to blockchain-based identity and data management solutions. Inefficiency in cross-institutional data sharing is a key factor that affects the research and clinical effectiveness and the associated costs. We will remain committed to our R&D efforts, which we expect to play a significant role in global healthcare data management.”
A lack of deep, ubiquitous data interoperability has been a significant concern for the healthcare industry due to the siloed vendor ecosystem and the high cost of building a unified protocol. Blockchain is very much looked upon to solve these issues and reduce the cost of healthcare services and make them more efficient. With the identity-oriented Belrium Blockchain, Belfrics is building a solution where the health data are stored and interoperated seamlessly through user-consented architecture. Blockchain improves efficiency and time spent transferring patient records from one facility to another. The blockchain solution also increases the safety of the patients by reducing the duplication of clinical interventions.
Robert Grinberg, CEO of Life Clips, said, “ABHA IDs, which will unify the entire Indian health ecosystem, is an excellent initiative by the Indian government to access and share health records digitally with the hospitals, clinics, and insurance providers across the nation. Belfrics intends to complete the M2 and M3 (Milestones 2 and 3) within the next three to six months. This is a tremendous opportunity for our Belfrics subsidiary and a tremendous vote of confidence for its revolutionary KYC-based Belrium blockchain.”
