<p>IRIS, a blockchain foundation focused on healthcare, <a href="https://www.healthinnews.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno&#61;42546" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> on Wednesday (local time) the launch of a health management app developed in collaboration with Hongbog, a South Korean provider of iris-based biometric systems. This app offers services customized to each user’s health status and lifestyle.</p><h2 id="header-0">Iridology-based health analysis</h2><p>Unlike other healthcare platforms that primarily focus on exercises, IRIS’ app offers long-term and periodic health trend analysis reports through iris photography. This approach is based on “iridology,” a concept used in traditional Korean medicine, and the app also recommends visits to specialized healthcare providers based on its findings.</p><p>The app instantly analyzes a user’s biometric information through artificial intelligence once a picture of their eyes is captured with a smartphone camera. Within 15 seconds, users can view their results, based on which the app recommends personalized exercises and nutrients.</p><p>This platform serves both personal disease management and prevention, and can also be utilized by public health centers for monitoring the health of local residents. Presently, it provides five health ratings for cholesterol, stress levels, and four specific organs: the brain, lungs, liver and kidneys. Future updates will optionally include information on an additional 15 organs, such as the heart, bronchi, pancreas and stomach.</p><h2 id="header-1">Blockchain-powered privacy protection</h2><p>A representative from IRIS conveyed that their goal in an aging society is to assist customers in preventing serious illnesses and promoting longer, healthier lives. They emphasized that the app enables regular measurement of health indicators, aiding in disease prevention and management. The representative also mentioned that by storing sensitive healthcare information on the blockchain, the service eliminates the risk of personal data leaks.</p>
