Physicians wishing to deliver excellent patient care are having the medical-industrial complex rob their autonomy and identity.  HPEC offers a decentralized technology created by physicians for physicians to begin the return of autonomy and control back to where it belongs.

‍

To empower the physician community to provide the best care to patients- free from third-party interference.

A future healthcare ecosystem optimized through open access trusted space for the physician community to connect to the patients who need them the most easily. Restoring privacy and trust. Enhancing transparency for all.

To achieve this vision we have created the tools for secure direct communication for the physician community. This starts with verifying your identity, with a government ID, as well as your professional credentials, including your medical degree and medical license.

Once those two items are verified, you are given a secure encrypted digital wallet with a decentralized identifier where you can store your credential data. Your wallet also creates a profile and a referral wallet, which is a digital rolodex of your connected colleagues so you can coordinate the best care for your patients. You are also given access to a secure and trusted physician community of your colleagues in a censorship free social space - monitored collectively by the physician community.

In short the three main benefits of being a part of HPEC:

✅ First you can reclaim your autonomy by claiming your digital identity wallet to store and share your credentials. The HPEC wallet is a decentralized, encrypted cloud wallet where you are the one who owns and controls access to your data.

✅ Second You can receive instantaneously verifiable credentials from any institution that uses decentralized identity standards -This is the magic of decentralized identity and what will create employment and job mobility for physicians now and autonomy in our practice in the long run.  

✅ Third, you can build a referral network of trusted colleagues and network with other verified physicians on our censorship-resistant self-governing platform. On HPEC, the physician-only community governs itself, and censorship isn’t a problem. There is nothing else like it out there!

We have deployed decentralized identity standards and are working towards a fully decentralized platform that is privacy preserving at every level. With HPEC, no one will claim, steal, or use your data as it will be 100% owned and controlled by you and you only.

We have a database of all recently retired and practicing physicians. Our onboarding process is easy because all you need is:

1.) an email and phone number

2.) your NPI number

3.) a government issued id. While we are in beta we are for US physicians only.

If you’ve ever trained in a US residency program you are automatically allowed in. We verify your identity with a government ID and facial recognition to make sure it is actually you who is claiming your profile. You can then enter groups with other physicians in your state and specialty, and connect with colleagues you know. There is much more to share but that is only for the community, so get on boarded now while spots are still open to see what else we have to offer.

Medical records used to be a tool for physicians to keep records for themselves and to communicate with each other. Today they have morphed into data gathering surveillance and billing tools for insurance companies and health systems. With your HPEC digital identity you are empowered to interact with and maintain patient records with systems you know and trust. When you control how you authenticate yourself digitally you are empowered to create privacy preserving record keeping tools removing any dependency created by third party systems that were not designed to serve your needs or the needs of your patients.

Our national and regional medical associations have failed us, in part because the systems they use to organize and represent practicing doctors are not designed to keep up with the rapid evolution of our needs as physicians, both personally and professionally. Additionally we deserve to have state of the art technologies available, and the outdated systems do not prioritize that, and that is a large part of why physicians suffer. Decentralized identity protocols provide direct secure communication solutions for practicing doctors. With decentralized technologies governance can now be immediate and direct, and is no longer dependent on a representative democracy or analog election processes. With a digital identity we can directly vote and allocate resources directly to things we care about. When you control how you authenticate yourself digitally you are empowered to have a direct say in decision making about anything from protocols, to patient care or allocation of organizational resources. Information overload can be avoided when experts have the power to rapidly assess and reflect on new incoming information, sharing their assessments with their peers immediately, As advancements accelerate and we can more rapidly disseminate important life saving information. and Tthe peer review process will be more relevant and accessible for actual practicing physicians. With your HPEC digital identity you are also empowered to interact with and maintain referral networks of physician colleagues you know and trust, and you are empowered to drive the future of care.

As a company we are only building tools that hash to blockchains. We are not building our own closed permissioned or centralized blockchain. There are well over a hundred decentralized identity protocols including the did:polygon method for Etherium Polygon protocol, and the did:ion protocol for the Bitcoin Ion protocol (see: https://github.com/decentralized-identity/ion)

Our solution aims to leverage numerous numbers of these protocols in order to communicate across blockchains and will make these decisions and develop tools for our enterprise clients as we build solutions that serve their needs.

Unlike centralized platforms where you have no control, HPEC is built on open decentralized identity standards. Although we are in beta and things are still in development the HPEC wallet was designed so you can fully own and control your information. HPEC is also collectively owned and designed by hundreds of physicians and we have built and designed this for us and for our future. HPEC is the most private and physician centric platform in existence.

‍

In order to confirm identity we check your government ID and your NPI number. We are the only platform that is 100% physician only, and we need to do this to ensure that is true. Your data is encrypted and stored and accessible only by HPEC and you. Eventually when we move to a fully decentralized platform your data will only be accessible by you and you alone, but while we are in Beta we also store this information.

Unlike centralized platforms where you have no control, HPEC is built on open decentralized identity standards. Although we are in beta and things are still in development the HPEC wallet was designed so that soon enough you will can fully own and control your information. HPEC is also collectively owned and designed by hundreds of physicians and we have built and designed this for us and for our future. HPEC is the most private and physician centric platform in existence.

Humanitarian Physicians Empowerment Community. HPEC is not an organization or an association, but it is a physician-run and majority physician-owned mission-driven company. We are building the future of secure physician and patient interactions, restoring privacy and trust for physicians and patients.

If you are a licensed practicing physician in the US, HPEC allows you to create a wallet and securely store copies of your credentials. It occurs through a secure self-sovereign cloud agent that only you control.

Once your medical license is uploaded, it is checked for validity against your government-issued ID and against your state's public website, you are allowed entry into a private physician group. The goal of HPEC is to automate this process in the future and enable individual physicians to receive digital credentials from the issuing institution directly into their wallet. Still, the verification process necessitates a manual check during our earliest beta version of our app,the MVP stage  and until we reach that goal.

Through your HPEC identity, you can have end-to-end encrypted conversations with your colleagues and participate in group conversations with other credentialed physicians. The network is a verified and trusted network of physicians only, which doesn't exist anywhere else.

‍

The HPEC network is composed of the social network and the professional network.
The social network is a censorship-resistant community space that deploys a cryptographic protocol of self-moderation, meaning the physician community moderates itself; there is no central authority deciding what is and is not allowed to be posted.
The HPEC professional network creates an opportunity for individuals to own their professional brand, build and maintain their professional reputation, and choose who to allow into their network. Because HPEC is decentralized, this gives the physician direct control over their professional data and reputation, unlike any other platform out there. Your network is yours and yours alone and will allow you to refer patients only to physicians you know and trust in the future without being influenced or monitored by employers, insurance networks, or other third parties.

We are currently pre-revenue. Initial revenue streams are projected to be from credentialing services and physician career opportunity advertisement and recruitment. Later, physicians may choose to be paid on the platform for their services and access to their data. HPEC cant access or sell physicians' practice behavioral data because their data is owned by them directly. Still, we will create an opportunity for individual physician to quickly and securely share their data in an organized and streamlined way if they so choose.

We aim to be a complete decentralized identity solution for practicing physicians, where practicing physicians directly control their professional destiny.
‍

We are currently participating in pilot projects with credential issuing bodies such as academic medical centers and state licensing boards. The pilot projects allow these credential issuing bodies to issue verifiable digital credentials directly into the physician’s wallet. The goal is an end-to-end process that starts with graduation and credential issuance allowing physicians to share these credentials in an instantaneously trusted and permanent fashion. It will expedite and streamline the credentialing process for the lifetime of a physician’s career.
‍

HPEC aims to provide any individual physician, group, or association of physicians to exist, communicate, and provide services in a decentralized, secure and organized way for the impending digital world.
‍

As a complete identity solution, HPEC aims to allow physicians to vote on policy and practice, allocate resources to desired policy and practice initiatives, pay for and be paid for services, directly connect and communicate with patients, and move freely throughout the global healthcare ecosystem.

Dr. McAutonomy first heard about HPEC through a friend from med school who she hadn't spoken to in a while who sent her an invite via text. Once she was on the network, she was asked to confirm that they went to medical school together, so she did. At first, Dr. McAutonomy didn't understand it. Still, after signing up, she realized being in control of her professional identity and credentials can restore her professional autonomy and reduce uncompensated administrative burdens. After a few months on the platform, she has invited 15 other physician friends and colleagues to join the network and has accumulated HPEC points for her contribution to the network.
She now
1.) Is accepting telemedicine consults through the platform
2.) quickly and easily picked up a few extra shifts at the clinic down the block, has
3.) contributed to practice guideline updates within her specialty and has
4.) found a subspecialist for one of her patients suffering from a complex issue, which is now finally being addressed by the right person.
She feels informed, engaged, and connected with her fellow colleagues. She can be a better doctor because many of the things that made her frustrated with the practice of medicine are now alleviated... The platform has brought her additional income on the side, and she is thinking about moving full-time to this model.

It is NO cost for the verified physician community to use.  Funding has been provided by early investors who wanted to be part of restoring physician control.

Once out of Beta testing no central authority controls HPEC.  No person or company can alter your credentials or communications.  The decentralized concept purposely was created so only the enrollee can control their data. Right now HPEC is a custodian and can recover your keys, as with any other application, but once we move to a fully decentralized platform, if the  In fact if the physician loses their “key”, it cannot be recovered by anyone.

How is HPEC different from other credentialing organizations?

With HPEC only you can release your credentialing info.  Organizations cannot simply make copies and distribute them.
You have sole control over who may obtain verification, and who can issue you credentials
No one can steal your identity,  Your info is not on a spreadsheet, a hospital’s hard drive or a manilla folder. Only you can log in because we use facial recognition, and secure passcodes to log in and a government issued ID for you to join.
