It can't be overstated - the reason thus can be done is that the #nostr protocol blows out the door any power asymmetry due the tech and/or platform. In this use case, the patient has as much power as the physician - the platform can't enforce any checkpoints, it's really for the governance (web of trust) to figure that out. Other people like pippellia (nprofile…pqkh) are figuring that problem out. I am focusing on plumbing, not governance.

Today, on the NosFabrica (npub1hea…vp8p) call, I successfully demonstrated the use case of what I call “Patient Zero to Nostr Hero”. It was a health consultation over a Zoom call where the patient was on-boarded to a new wallet, used that wallet to authenticate over zoom, consultation completed and resulting records securely transmitted to that newly created wallet controlled by that new patient.

In this demonstration, #nostr #safebox was completely invisible, but pivotal in facilitating the secure transfer of records.

This is the way healthcare should be. Personal, private and secure.

Thanks to thebitcoinyogi (npub1t8p…gkvf) for being such a good patient zero!
