HealthTAG / Platform

Connect health data while hospitals keep the clinical records

HealthTAG connects existing hospital systems through HL7 FHIR R4, links patient identities, checks access, and records consent and access events. Patients own their health data. Hospitals continue to store and steward clinical records in their source systems.

Data, identity, access, and audit are handled separately

Hospital systems retain the clinical records. An identity linkage service connects patient identifiers, an authorization service checks access requests, and blockchain records consent and access events.

  1. 01

    Data Connect

    Moves selected data from an existing HIS into a hospital-stewarded HL7 FHIR R4 system. Hospital IT can use its own integration script or HealthTAG FHIR Transformer.

    Data interoperability
  2. 02

    Patient identity linkage

    Links the patient identifier used by each hospital to a common identity reference, while clinical records remain in hospital systems.

    Identity and PHR
  3. 03

    Consent and authorization

    Records the patient's consent, while the authorization service evaluates each access request before the source system returns permitted information.

    Consent, trust and access
  4. 04

    Audit and provenance

    Records consent and access events for later review and keeps the hospital source of the clinical record clear. Clinical records are not stored on blockchain.

RESPONSIBILITY FIRST

Patients retain ownership while hospitals retain the records

This conceptual diagram describes responsibility boundaries. It does not prescribe the physical request sequence of every installation.

Conceptual responsibility model for authorized health-data exchange.
Read the diagram as text
  1. The patient owns their health data and controls consent and use.
  2. The hospital stores and stewards the clinical record in its source systems.
  3. HealthTAG supplies infrastructure for identity linkage, authorization, permitted exchange, and audit.
  4. Clinical records do not pass through blockchain. Blockchain records consent and access events.
FOR HOSPITAL LEADERS

Connect without replacing the core HIS

The hospital keeps custody of its records and chooses the ingestion path that fits its IT capability. Siriraj uses a hospital-developed script. Khian Sa uses HealthTAG FHIR Transformer for four confirmed FHIR resources.

FOR IT TEAMS

Two ingestion paths support different hospital IT models

A hospital may use an IT-managed script or HealthTAG FHIR Transformer. The current hospital-side architecture separates FHIR storage, API protection, identity linkage, and authorization.

Technical boundary and current implementation
Ingestion
Hospital IT script or HealthTAG FHIR Transformer.
FHIR system
FHIR Server using HL7 FHIR R4, backed by a relational database and protected by an API Gateway.
Access check
Identity and authorization services link patient identifiers and check the current access window inside the hospital network.

Programme

Siriraj 5G Smart Hospital

Siriraj announced the Siriraj World Class 5G Smart Hospital with nine subprojects, including Permission based blockchain for personal health record. HealthTAG participated in the PHR subproject and Siriraj IT uses its own HIS-to-FHIR script.

Award

APICTA · Cross Category: Start-Up

APICTA's official winner list names Healthtag of Thailand and BLOCKCHAIN-BASED PHR & HEALTH DATA MANAGEMENT PLATFORM as the Cross Category: Start-Up winner.

Sandbox Outcome

ETDA Digital Service Sandbox

ETDA lists the HealthTAG service in its Digital Service Sandbox and records its exit after meeting the defined test goals and indicators. The test covered three hospitals in the Siriraj network.
