Hospitals & Providers on PYRAX

Hospitals and provider networks run on fragmented, breach-prone IT while carrying the strictest privacy obligations in any industry. PYRAX gives providers a shielded-by-default settlement and coordination layer where PHI stays off-chain as commitments, care events are tamper-evident, and payers or auditors verify compliance through scoped viewing keys rather than raw data access.

What's broken today

Patient data siloed across EHRs, labs, and payers with no trustworthy shared source of truth.
Ransomware and insider breaches expose millions of records; each incident averages eight figures.
Claims and prior-authorization cycles are slow, opaque, and manually reconciled between payer and provider.
Regulators and auditors demand proof of compliance that today requires handing over sensitive raw data.

How PYRAX transforms it

Concrete network elements mapped to this business.

Shielded-by-default ZK ledger

Care events, orders, and referrals are recorded as commitments — PHI never appears on-chain, so a shared, tamper-evident record exists without a single honeypot of raw patient data.

Viewing keys for regulators and auditors

CMS, Joint Commission, or an internal auditor is granted a read-only viewing key scoped to a facility or date range, proving compliance without ever exposing patient identities.

On-chain escrow for claims and settlements

Payer-provider payments release from escrow only when milestone conditions (e.g. verified discharge, coding sign-off) are met, collapsing reconciliation and dispute cycles.

eth_getProof tamper-evident records

Any care event's inclusion and integrity is provable via Merkle proof, giving a court-grade audit trail for malpractice defense, chargebacks, and regulatory inquiry.

Consent-gated data sharing

A patient's cryptographic consent is required and logged before any provider can request a viewing key, making every disclosure permissioned and revocable.
