I. Project Overview

Capstone Project Name/Idea: Insta-Labs – Decentralized Patient Data for Pathology Labs

Brief Project Description:
Insta-Labs is a blockchain-powered platform that empowers small and medium-sized pathology labs to securely store patient data on-chain. By leveraging decentralized technology, Insta-Labs provides patients with full ownership of their health records, enabling them to access and share their data anytime, anywhere. Labs can use a streamlined tech solution to upload, manage, and share reports while maintaining compliance with data privacy regulations.

Reason for Choosing this Project:
India has a dense network of small pathology labs, many of which lack advanced tech solutions for data management. This results in inefficiencies, security risks, and inconvenience for patients. I believe blockchain has the potential to transform healthcare by making data more accessible, secure, and patient-centric. Insta-Labs addresses these challenges while aligning with the principles of decentralized science (DeSci). I'm passionate about combining healthcare and technology to create a meaningful impact.

II. Go-to-Market Strategy

Target Audience:

  1. Pathology Labs: Small and medium-sized labs seeking a cost-effective and secure solution for storing and managing patient reports.
  2. Patients: Individuals who want easy access to their health records and the ability to share them securely with doctors and other healthcare providers.

Value Proposition:

  • For Pathology Labs:
    • Secure and efficient report management.
    • Improved patient retention through enhanced service delivery.
    • Cost-effective tech adoption compared to custom-built solutions.
  • For Patients:
    • Ownership and control over their health data.
    • Access to reports from anywhere, at any time.
    • Secure sharing of data with healthcare providers.

Marketing and Distribution:

  1. Pilot Program: Launch in a small city with high pathology lab density to validate the solution and gather feedback.
  2. Outreach to Labs: Conduct targeted outreach to small and medium-sized pathology labs through in-person visits, webinars, and demos.
  3. Patient Awareness Campaigns: Use local advertising, social media, and partnerships with healthcare providers to inform patients about the platform.
  4. Partnerships: Collaborate with diagnostic chains, health-tech companies, and regional health organizations for scaling.

Competitive Landscape:
While there are existing solutions for managing patient data, Insta-Labs differentiates itself through:

  • Blockchain Integration: Ensuring security, transparency, and immutability of health records.
  • Focus on Small Labs: Catering to labs that lack the resources for custom solutions.
  • Patient Ownership: Empowering patients with control over their data, setting it apart from centralized systems.

III. Technical Details

Tech Stack:

  • Blockchain Platform: Solana
  • Smart Contract Language: Rust
  • Database: IPFS or Arweave
  • Front-End Framework: Next.js
  • Database: Decentralized storage systems like IPFS or Arweave.

Smart Contract Development:

  • Smart contracts will be developed using Rust to manage data access and permissions securely.
  • Focus on patient consent and data privacy, ensuring compliance with India's Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB).

Testing and Security:

  • Unit testing and integration testing for all features.
  • Security audits of smart contracts to protect sensitive health data.
  • Formal verification tools to ensure reliability and correctness of smart contracts.

IV. Conclusion

Project Timeline: 1 month for MVP

Commitment: We are totally committed to bring this project to reality and we will do everything we can to make it a success.
