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!

MiCred helps physicians track, manage, and share their professional credentials — all from one app. As a physician, you juggle state licenses, board certifications, DEA registrations, malpractice insurance, hospital privileges, CME requirements, and more. MiCred keeps it all organized and up to date so nothing slips through the cracks. SMART CREDENTIAL TRACKING Add and manage all your professional credentials in one place — state licenses, board certifications, DEA registrations, malpractice insurance, life support certifications, and hospital affiliations. MiCred knows which credentials are required for your specialty and state. AUTOMATED EXPIRATION ALERTS Never miss a renewal deadline. MiCred monitors your credential expiration dates and sends timely push and email notifications so you can renew before anything lapses. OCR DOCUMENT SCANNING Upload photos or PDFs of your credentials and MiCred automatically extracts key details using intelligent document recognition. Your documents are securely stored in your personal document vault. COMPLIANCE DASHBOARD See your compliance status at a glance across three dimensions — state, board, and hospital requirements. Quickly identify what's current, what's expiring soon, and what needs attention. CME TRACKING Log continuing medical education activities, track progress toward state-specific CME requirements, and monitor MOC (Maintenance of Certification) status for your board certifications. PROFESSIONAL REPORTS Generate professional credential summaries and CVs as polished PDFs — ready to share with hospitals, credentialing committees, and employers. Export CME reports by state in PDF or CSV format. BUILT FOR PHYSICIANS MiCred currently supports MD and DO credential workflows, with support for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dentists, pharmacists, and other provider types coming soon. SECURE BY DESIGN Your data is protected with encrypted connections, biometric authentication (Face ID / fingerprint), auto-lock timeout, and secure cloud storage. Sign in with Google, Apple, or email. MiCred is built by healthcare professionals who understand the burden of credential management. Spend less time chasing paperwork and more time focused on patient care.
