San Diego-based company MintHealth has launched a blockchain-backed electronic health record platform that puts patients in control of their own health information. Users accessing MintHealth's platform via an app are given a global identifier, enabling them to decide who has permission to see their data. The company will also issue tokens called vidamints as a reward for users who try to live healthily, which can be used to offset health-related costs. The platform will be initially rolled out to commercial health insurers, while the first token launch is expected in January or December.
