Revolutionizing Patient Data Monetization: The MyRxWallet Approach In today’s digital age, healthcare systems are sitting on mountains of patient data, often collected through EHRs and other digital platforms. This data holds immense value for innovations like precision medicine, drug discovery, and even AI models, yet, as a society, we continue to grapple with one essential question: Who should benefit from this data? At MyRxWallet, we believe the answer is clear—patients should. After all, it’s their data. Currently, many healthcare systems and startups debate the ethics of commercializing patient data without direct consent. While some institutions take a cautious approach, others rush into the market without considering the patient’s rights. But why not empower patients to have control and directly benefit from their own data? Through MyRxWallet’s blockchain-powered platform, we are creating a future where patients have full ownership of their health data, and they can monetize it when they choose. Using decentralized and tamper-proof technologies, patients can securely share anonymized health data for research, clinical trials, or drug development—all while being compensated for it. This not only empowers patients but also opens new doors for healthcare innovation. Our vision isn’t just about protecting data—it’s about creating a new healthcare ecosystem where patients are stakeholders in their health journey and benefit financially from the value their data generates. At MyRxWallet, we aren’t just building technology; we’re building patient empowerment. Let’s change the conversation. Let’s give patients control over what’s rightfully theirs. #Blockchain #HealthcareInnovation #DataMonetization #PatientData #DataOwnership #AI #MyRxWallet #Web3 #HealthcareTransformation

What does the belief that work is important and it has to be hard to to us who believe it? It creates a centerpiece in our life—a career. This is a mixed blessing. On the positive side, it means that we have meaningful work to provide to society. We feel valued and useful. We advance civilization, hopefully, with our contribution. We are rewarded for bringing value to the world. And because we expect it to be hard, we can do hard things. This is a huge advantage in our society. But there is a cost. Our career does not have to be our life. It is a part of our life but it is not the only part. Some of those other parts of life, like friends and family, artistic pursuits, volunteer service, spirituality, and simply having fun, are valuable. I’ve credibly believed I was on my deathbed three times so far, causing me to reflect on my life. Interestingly, my career was the furthest from my mind as I judged whether I used the life that I was given. In the mid-1990s, I was helping my father get to chemotherapy appointments. We were at Sloan-Kettering cancer center in New York City. I was about to finish law school and move west. He was fighting for his life. There were young child patients all around, some wearing headscarfs to conceal their little bald heads. I was reading the New York Times obituaries, which I never do. There was an obituary for a lawyer. The story was filled with professional accomplishments and ended with a quote from him. It went something like “I was glad to be a lawyer and work on many cases. A lawyer is like a fork. It can do many different things as long as it is sterilized between uses.” Maybe this person was a great success—but didn’t he just admit he was a tool? The contrast been that quote and the sight of kids just trying to hang on for a few more months could not have been more striking. If it worked for him-great. How do you want your obituary to read?
