Project description
Medical Compliance is a multi-industry issue. Ensuring that organizations have the required medicines and equipment to meet legal requirements is totally manual at present, yet it is a requirement at well over 2,000,000 identified locations in the US alone.
Our initial focus will be to leverage Toposware to enable a trustless proof illustrating a customer's medical compliance and enabling presentation of this status to various enforcement agencies and vendors. The initial focus of the POC will be in the maritime space as this a business where we currently supply medicines and support compliance assurance with a certificate of compliance. Medium term there are many companies who provide compliance related services like fire protection systems, engine management services, maintenance services etc and there are an increasing number of players who are putting these compliance status's on their own blockchain to ensure certification validity for customers and authorities. The opportunity therefore exists to work with these many businesses and provide chain interoperability opening up the space for an agnostic compliance platform being a place for vendors, customers and authorities to interact and audit compliance in a trustless way providing significant upside in costs across the compliance value chain.

Documentation, education and community
We intend to bring the application into production post test-net as soon as we can as there is a real-world requirement in maritime compliance that exists today and has no agnostic solution. We will document the use case on Toposware and will be looking to create appropriate documentation that will enable understanding by 3rd parties who may or may not have existing blockchain compliance initiatives.
Being able to illustrate the inherent value and security of a ZK proof multichain auditable solution is essential to the adoption of our solution and community support to develop this will be essential.
Other deliverables
We expect to be able to bring Toposware to the attention of a number of Enterprise customers as part of this POC. Companies in the Maritime compliance space like DNV. Additionally, Pharma companies will also be approached as there is an entire track and trace value chain compliance requirement for these manufacturers and all have some form of blockchain initiatives underway.
Maintenance and upgrade plans
Overall we will look to curate an industry understanding of the value of a trustless solution for compliance by leveraging Maritime Medicine as a start. Once we have a working POC we will be able to bring this to contributors across the value chain. This will include the various and numerous flag states that have a responsibility to ensure compliance for maritime vessels to their flag standards. Many of these flag states reside in offshore locations like the Bahamas, Caymen Islands, Jamaca etc. And traditionally have been eager to adopt tech enables opportunities like Crypto currencies and numbers block chain initiatives. They also have regulation that supports rather than hinders development in this space. Another reason why Maritime Medical Compliance can be a very solid watershed solution from which to build into a global agnostic compliance platform.
