SimplyVital Health is also encouraging the entire health care industry to adopt blockchain. The company leads the Data Sharing Subcommittee at PhUSE, a nonprofit data science organization, which is working with pharmaceutical¹ companies such as Novartis to make health care more efficient. It is also collaborating² with Stanford’s Department of Biomedical Data Science on making medical data more accessible to researchers.

SimplyVital Health也鼓励整个医疗保健行业采用区块链。该公司领导着PhUSE的数据共享小组委员会。PhUSE 是一个非营利性的数据科学组织，正在与诺华等制药公司合作，提高医疗保健的效率。它还与斯坦福大学生物医学数据科学系合作，让研究人员更容易获取医疗数据。

Kuzmeskas, a former administrator³ at Yale New Haven⁴ Hospital, in 2016 had recognized the need for a new type of health care data platform. She and Hendren, the former tech lead for the blockchain development team at Capital One, came up with the prototype of their first product during the BTC Media Distributed Health Hackathon.

库兹梅斯卡斯曾是耶鲁大学纽黑文医院的管理员。2016年，他认识到需要一种新型的医疗数据平台。她和曾在Capital One担任区块链开发团队技术负责人的亨德仁，在BTC媒体分布式健康黑客马拉松上提出了他们的第一款产品的原型。

Blockchain technology could lead to savings⁵ of $100 billion in the health care industry by 2025. It could also expand available treatment options, make diagnoses faster and more accurate and give previously⁶ marginalized communities access to critical medical data. With access to more data, health care providers can better evaluate their patients, treat them more effectively and track their progress.

到2025年，区块链技术将为医疗保健行业节省1000亿美元。它还可以扩大现有的治疗选择，使诊断更快、更准确，并使以前处于边缘的社区能够获得关键的医疗数据。随着获得更多的数据，卫生保健提供者可以更好地评估病人，更有效地治疗，并跟踪进展。

The tools that SimplyVital Health is building could help make health care more accessible, affordable⁷ and effective for all.
