The HPEC wallet is a user centric, privacy preserving application that allows physicians like you to upload your medical credentials and receive verifiable digital credentials from credential issuing bodies. We call the credentials “verifiable” because when they are issued and accepted by you, proof of the transaction is logged on a distributed ledger, in order to record the event permanently. Our application consists of a self-sovereign identity system for each physician user, built in a secure and encrypted cloud agent that you control – your credential wallet. The digital wallet and credential verification portion of our application is built on open-sourced self-sovereign identity standards developed by the World Wide Web Consortium, (WC3,) and the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF.) Any credential issuing body who wants to participate and issue credentials can use and interoperate with our open standards-based system. In the meantime, physicians can also upload stored copies of their paper credentials, and have that data verified through the HPEC network. Once physicians have their credentials and identity verified, they are then allowed access to a private social network of other physician colleagues who have also been verified. Our unique social network includes identity verification and deploys a proprietary protocol of self-moderation making it, censorship resistant. The HPEC network allows you to build you professional reputation and connect with similarly verified colleagues on to collaborate towards common goals. Physician centric control of their verified professional data gives the physician community the ability to verify who they are in a secure and trusted way so they can move freely throughout the healthcare system. To get started you need: - a government issued ID - a copy of a medical license - 5-7 min to complete the onboarding process Let’s go!
