The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) and emTRUTH are collaborating on the project “A Platform for Healthcare Data Integration Using Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence.” Its goal is to revolutionize healthcare data management, ensuring security, integrity, and interoperability for critical care systems. The project will leverage blockchain technology to safeguard sensitive medical information for two sites' pilot project data while enabling seamless access for clinical research and healthcare analytics.

Project Overview

This project addresses the critical need for secure and interoperable healthcare data management solutions, specifically tailored to integrated healthcare systems. Blockchain technology plays a pivotal role in ensuring the integrity and security of patient data through encryption. Each organization will own and control access to their blockchains, providing a trusted environment for data management.

 
Project requirements

  •  Research questions must pertain to critical care.   
  • The principal investigator’s site should serve as the lead site for the study.   
  • Projects must be completed before September 15, 2025.

Selected sites will collaborate with SCCM and emTRUTH to:

  • Demonstrate data interoperability in a trusted cohort  
  • Deploy connectors with defined data dictionaries relevant to the proposed project   
  • Securely share de-identified data with SCCM by applying existing approval protocols

Funding Information

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant is funding emTRUTH to continue phase II of its research and development work. emTRUTH has partnered with SCCM for SCCM to be the clinical coordinating center and will support two sites for a total of $30,000 for the selected research proposals ($15,000 per site). This includes indirect costs.
