The open dHealth Network enables decentralized applications (dApps) and innovative business models at the intersection of healthcare and blockchain technology.

The basis for all decentralized digital health applications is a Digital ID (DID) on dHealth. Verifiable credentials such as immunization status or treatment eligibility can be issued on dHealth and linked to a user-controlled DID.
Health data can be stored off-chain or on decentralized file systems, and access can be controlled by the individual user with Decentralized Identifiers using Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS)
Peer-to-peer transfer of DHP tokens and stablecoins can be used for automated and transparent real-time payment. Assets can be transferred between blockchains using the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC). Utility tokens can be minted on dHealth.
A CØSMOS wallet is your tool to connect to the network in order to make transactions like sending, receiving tokens, and approving access to data.

Interchain concept, architecture, and ecosystem
With the CENTIVA LIFE DeSci dApp, researchers can collect data. At the same time, blockchain protects the users' privacy. It can also be used to incentivise users to make their data available.
It was co-created with ROCHE to monitor treatment progress in rare disease patients.
Watch the VIDEO to see how it works, or try the DEMO using RedCap as a data-gathering tool and earn DHP.
dHealth implemented the cutting-edge Multi-Party Computation (MPC) and Threshold Signature Scheme (TSS).
It works similarly to multi-sig accounts, allowing users to encrypt data and designate trusted individuals or groups of people, e.g. doctors, to decrypt and access the data when a predefined number of people have signed the transaction.
This is useful in the event of an accident where someone is unconscious or simply when a person cannot remember their access keys.
Making data available, especially DNA sequences, for research or to obtain a diagnosis poses considerable privacy risks.
dHealth has developed and is currently testing a solution to explore the practical applications of homomorphic encryption, secret sharing, and distributed key generation (DKG) in the context of genomic data.
Encrypted data can be compared with reference data, e.g. SNP containing a gene mutation, and the submitting party can get a result if the mutation is present without exposing its data.
dHealth developped the concept of a blockchain-based organ donor certificate (ODC) to ensure secure and tamper-proof donor records, protecting donor wishes without storing personal information in a database. It allows individuals to control access to their ODC, ensuring their donation preferences are respected, and provides transparency for transplant sites and authorities. This system aims to reduce deaths on transplant waiting lists.
UPD8.health is a web 3.0 application that incentivizes users to lead active and healthy lifestyles by rewarding their physical activities. It addresses the following issues: 1) lack of motivation and 2) short-term reward deficit.
The platform has already gained traction among > 1’000 fitness enthusiasts, and will be expanded to nutrition and mental health in the current funding round.
The Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute replaced a paper-based system for the supply-chain routes of rabies post-exposure prophylaxis in West Africa. Using the dHealth as a secure, transparent, and easily accessible data repository empowers all project stakeholders to monitor real-time developments related to transport, administration, and health status - potentially averting rabies-related tragedies.
The dHealth Community runs the AppChain based on the CØSMOS SDK. The network of independent Validator Nodes offers an alternative to traditional, permissioned, regulated, and government-controlled infrastructure without noise from other industries.
Accounts that stake DHP can participate in the on-chain voting process and hence decide on network parameters and the future course of the network.
Validator Nodes are operated by network participants and guarantee the network's independence and availability.
