Problem Statement

02 Problem Statement
Despite remarkable advancements in the healthcare sector, healthcare is riddled with
persistent challenges that impede optimal care delivery and hinder patient well-being.
Wellchain identifies and addresses these challenges through a comprehensive
understanding of the multifaceted issues plaguing the healthcare industry.

Care Gaps in Healthcare


The first major issue that Wellchain aims to tackle is the pervasive presence of
care gaps within the healthcare system. These gaps manifest in disjointed
communication between various healthcare stakeholders, including patients,
caregivers, and medical professionals. Such miscommunication surrounding
prescriptions or treatment plans can have serious consequences for patient
safety. Lack of clear communication breeds uncertainty and negative impacts
on patient well-being causing confusion and anxiety for patients. Also,
misunderstood instructions or lack of coordination can lead to unnecessary
tests and procedures, increasing healthcare costs. These problems lead to a
less-than-optimal patient experience.
Wellchain recognizes the urgent need for a solution that facilitates holistic care
coordination, ensuring that every aspect of a patient's health journey is
seamlessly connected for improved outcomes.

Inaccurate Patient Assessment


Inaccurate patient assessments can lead to a cascade of consequences,
affecting the quality of care and patient well-being. Current care models often
rely on subjective assessments and limited data, leading to misdiagnosis,
underestimation of severity, or delayed response to critical conditions. This
results in inappropriate interventions tailored to inaccurate
assessments, potentially jeopardizing patient safety and delaying effective
treatment. Patients may endure unnecessary procedures, medications, and
interventions, this can erode patient confidence and discourage proactive
engagement in their health care.
Wellchain aims to tackle this problem by using artificial intelligence (AI) that
assigns quantifiable metrics and provides more accuracy in patient
assessment.

Whitepaper 03
Problem Statement

Poor Patient Compliance


A significant contributor to suboptimal healthcare outcomes is the challenge of
patient noncompliance with prescribed treatment plans. Patients, for various
reasons, may deviate from their recommended courses of action, leading to
compromised health results. Non-adherence can worsen chronic
illnesses, increase hospital readmissions, and elevate healthcare costs. This
gets severe when institutions are dealing with limited resources. In such cases
limited resources are often prioritized for compliant patients, potentially
neglecting those struggling with adherence. On the other end, ineffective
treatments due to non-compliance demotivate healthcare professionals and
hinder positive patient outcomes.
Wellchain acknowledges that bridging this gap requires a dynamic approach
that not only educates and engages patients but also provides tangible
incentives for adherence.

Lack of Real-Time Monitoring


The current healthcare landscape often functions reactively, relying on
scheduled appointments and patient feedback to track progress and detect
potential health complications. Early detection of health changes is crucial for
timely intervention and preventing adverse outcomes. Without real-time
monitoring, subtle warning signs can go unnoticed until they escalate into
more serious complications. For institutions and professionals, limited visibility
into patient health fluctuations makes it difficult to prioritize care and allocate
resources effectively. This can lead to over-utilization of services for stable
patients and neglect of those experiencing rapid decline.
Wellchain's solution will involve continuous surveillance to ensure that
healthcare providers receive timely updates on a patient's health status.

The lack of data transparency and security has emerged as a critical challenge
in the healthcare landscape. Healthcare systems are becoming increasingly
reliant on electronic records and interconnected networks but traditional
methods of storing and exchanging medical records often lack the robust
security measures needed to safeguard sensitive information. Patients
rightfully demand control over who accesses their health data and for what
purposes. Data breaches and lack of transparency erode patient
trust, hindering open communication and engagement with healthcare
providers.
Wellchain recognizes that the traditional methods of storing and transferring
medical records are susceptible to security threats and aims to overcome this
by using the latest technologies and techniques.

Fragmented Data Exchange


The fragmentation of healthcare data across different systems and institutions
hinders the seamless exchange of information critical for patient care.
Electronic Health Records (EHRs) may not seamlessly integrate with Health
Information Exchanges (HIEs), leading to gaps in patient information.
Fragmented data makes it challenging for various healthcare professionals to
collaborate effectively, impacting care coordination and overall efficiency. Due
to fragmented systems, timely accessing of the potential data becomes
difficult. Delays in accessing relevant data hamper timely interventions and
lead to missed opportunities for preventative care.
Wellchain recognizes the need for an interoperable system and unified
platform that allows healthcare providers to access comprehensive and up-
to-date patient records.

These challenges stand as formidable obstacles to achieving optimal healthcare


outcomes and create a vicious cycle of inefficiency, frustration, and cost escalation. The
