Why Healthcare Needs a New Identity Layer
Healthcare runs on sensitive data and trust, but the systems that support it are outdated, fragmented, and fragile.
Patient onboarding is still paper-heavy and repetitive.
Telemedicine and health-tech platforms struggle to verify real users while respecting their privacy.
Eligibility checks for age, location, or insurance coverage require intrusive document sharing.
Fraud in digital health services (especially in public health programs and prescriptions) is rising fast.
As care moves online and across borders, healthcare providers need a better way to verify who someone is without exposing who they are.
The Role of Proof of Humanity
Humanity Protocol brings a modern identity layer to healthcare - secure, decentralized, and privacy-first.
It enables Proof of Humanity, a verifiable way to confirm that someone is a unique, living person without collecting or revealing sensitive information.
Using biometric-based zero-knowledge credentials, patients and users can prove:
That they are real (not bots or duplicate accounts)
That they meet eligibility requirements (e.g. age, jurisdiction, insurance status)
That they are authorized to access records or services
All without giving up control over personal data or depending on centralized verification systems.
For healthcare systems, this means you can build trust into every access point, from virtual care to insurance portals, while maintaining compliance and protecting user dignity.
How Humanity Protocol Helps Healthcare
With Humanity Protocol, healthcare institutions and platforms can:
Verify patients and users through biometric Proof of Humanity, eliminating fake accounts and identity duplication
Offer secure, eligibility-based access to treatments, prescriptions, or services (e.g. “over 18” or “resides in EU”)
Protect medical data by verifying access rights without exposing identity or health history
Prevent fraud and abuse in public or private health programs
Enable portable, reusable identity across clinics, apps, and insurers
What It Enables
Faster, privacy-preserving onboarding for patients and users
Access control without bureaucracy, even for sensitive care and prescriptions
Sybil-resistant health systems with fair usage and real accountability
Private compliance, meeting legal requirements without data overexposure
A user-owned health identity that travels across the healthcare ecosystem
