WAULT is a medical record security platform designed to give patients direct ownership and control over their personal health data. The platform functions as a biometric-sealed digital vault that stores medical records, restricting access based on user-defined permissions. Key aspects of the platform: - Patients control who can access their medical records, for what purpose, and for how long - Healthcare professionals can authenticate a patient's identity and medical records in real time, 24/7 - Records are secured using biometric sealing, removing reliance on centralized or third-party databases - The system is designed to prevent unauthorized access, data leakage, or exposure via vulnerable third-party systems WAULT targets the problem of sensitive health records being stored across distributed, potentially vulnerable databases and passed between entities without patient consent. The platform shifts ownership back to the individual patient while still enabling legitimate healthcare access through authenticated, real-time verification.
