Abstract

Multidisciplinary learning is one of the most challenging tasks in medical education, on both the graduate and postgraduate levels. And as the volume of information in medical sciences grows rapidly, the demands on on this type of learning are getting bigger. VoxelX’s mission is to revolutionize the multidisciplinary learning by creating an online DICOM-platform to simulate medical learning. VoxelX’s team is one of the few that is working since 2013 in implementing DICOM-images in medical e-learning specially in radiology field. Our beta version DICOM-platform has been published online at www.voxelx.com in December 2016 at the RSNA (Radiological society of north America) annual meeting in Chicago, USA.

The content of this platform is community-based, so all members can share their pre-validated knowledge and cases either privately or publicly. And accordingly, by powering this platform with the blockchain we will be able to monetize the online content and create incentives to encourage radiologists both as publishers and validators in building and expanding the community of the platform. With the help of Ethereum's ERC-20 tokens we were able to design rewards algorithm that pays radiologists for every single even tiny submission and update of the contents and images of the platform. VoxelX will be launching a token called GRAY and it will be used mainly to finance building the content of the DICOM-Platform.

The DICOM

DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) is the standard for storing and sending medical images that enable the integration of medical imaging devices such as scanners, servers, workstations, printers, networking hardware, and image archiving and communication systems (PACS) from multiple manufacturers. It has been widely adopted by hospitals, and makes inroads into smaller applications such as dentists and doctors offices.

VoxelX Tools

VoxelX platform is stuffed with many tools that enables the medical learner and the radiologist to interact easily with the DICOM-Images. Among these tools are innovative drawing tools that have made it possible to connect and link the structures and diseases on the images with all recognised knowledge resources on the web.

DICOM Online Platform

Our DICOM-platform is built to simulate radiology learning. It's purely interactive and educative. One of the main features is the ability to annotate and link the structure and pathology of DICOM-images directly with all possible knowledge resources on the web. Applying blockchain in this platform will To teach users allowed to build their own files for further use or teaching, and this is aided by many automatic recognition features such as recognizing the same anatomical structure in the whole series and connecting it with the appropriate knowledge of the source. Other features such as social networking between users, lecture mode modes, tablet mode and mobile devices, multi-touch capabilities, online case discussions, fast note systems, have been implemented in the Tool.

VoxelX Wallet

Every VoxelX registered user will have a wallet created and linked to their account. Unlike traditional cryptocurrency wallets on the market, the VoxelX wallet will be linked with ranking system in the Platform, the more you contribute to the platform the more you get GRAY, the better you are ranked.

GRAY Token Sales

The total supply of VoxelX GRAY tokens that will ever be created is 10,000,000,000 (10 billion). The initial token amount is large in order to set a suitable price for microtransactions which occur on the platform. All GRAY tokens will be generated in a seed block and distributed as follows:

Token Sales

45% of GRAY tokens will be sold in the initial GRAY token sale. The token sale will be composed of a private pre-ICO round for strategic and early investors followed by a public offering. Tokens sold during the private and pre-ICO rounds will be discounted but subject to certain lockup restrictions.
