Medical Data Link is a public blockchain for medical data transmission, abbreviated as MENT. It is a health data sharing platform based on the digital health industry and blockchain, fully leveraging the high credibility, low-cost security, distributed ledger, and decentralized consensus of blockchain technology. By adopting a novel smart contract architecture design and integrating cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, it aims to comprehensively transform the healthcare system, reconstruct the medical ecosystem, and facilitate the evolution of human healthcare services.
MENT utilizes a parallel mainchain architecture that enables the flexible selection of consensus mechanisms tailored to the characteristics of each business mainchain. The consensus mechanism of a business mainchain solely impacts its own operations, independent from other mainchains, establishing its own logical space. The consensus mechanism of the business mainchain supports a plug-and-play model, allowing for agile substitution in accordance with the demands of digital medical health, ensuring seamless transitions and sustained operations to meet the dynamic requirements of digital medical health paradigms. MENT will incorporate consensus mechanisms like POW (Proof of Work), POS (Proof of Stake), DPOS (Delegated Proof of Stake), PBFT (Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance), and RAFT, enabling entities to establish consensus mechanisms that align with specific digital medical health logics.
