Roxy Jacenko�s hubby Oliver Curtis joins hi-tech family venture funded through Bitcoin trading in medical records

CORPORATE crook Oliver Curtis is back in business as the boss of a hi-tech venture trading in your personal medical records � which he is kickstarting via $60 million raised through the super-risky Bitcoin market.
Five months since walking free from jail after serving a year for insider trading, the husband of PR queen Roxy Jacenko is knocking on the doors of professional investors seeking to raise funds in the unregulated market of cryptocurrency tokens.
The Daily Telegraph can exclusively reveal Mr Curtis has this week been appointed boss of E-Nome � setting him on a collision course with corporate cops likely to scrutinise whether it is in compliance with the company bans handed out as part of his conviction.
�Oli is back in the saddle in a big way,� his father Nick Curtis � a respected businessman who is also the co-founder and chair of E-Nome � told The Daily Telegraph.
�We are really proud to have him leading the team.�
E-Nome has ambitions of being the app of choice for people to access, manage and even anonymously sell their own My Health Record data. My Health is the government�s official database of health records.
Oliver Curtis is pitching to investors the first stage of a two-part sale of up to $60 million in a new cryptocurrency dubbed Nomes to pay for the cost of making the app available.
His father said Oliver, who is banned from managing corporations and from being a director until June 2022, was enjoying the role.
He said his son was working hard to get the company off the ground.
�I�m very pleased that he�s engaged in this process and he�s enjoying it and doing well,� Nick Curtis said.

E-Nome: mobile| medical records
E-Nome is an Australian based private company that has developed a patent pending system based on blockchain technology that empowers consumers to take control of their medical history on their smartphone, with ultimate security and privacy. The system allows consumers to anonymously share their data to participate and assist in medical research.
There is an interesting video here - only about 2 mins - that explains the big idea:
The Board of the organisation also has some impressive members and their relationship with the Garvan Institute adds considerable credibility.

Statement on Daily Telegraph article regarding use of medical records
Created on Monday, 18 December 2017
My Health Record is a secure electronic health record, which enables health care providers and consumers to share health information securely.
This includes critical health information like pathology reports, diagnostic imaging, medications information and health summaries uploaded by authorised health professionals. A person, or their authorised representative, can securely view their My Health Record via accredited channels - but cannot download content. Accredited channels may include authorised applications and portals, such as Tyde. A person wanting to view their My Health Record via a mobile application, must first undergo an authorisation process. Additionally, a person can revoke at any time their approval for an application to access their My Health Record.
The Australian Digital Health Agency (The Agency) has contacted Tyde Australia (a registered Portal Operator for the My Health Record) in relation to the claims published in the Daily Telegraph today.
The Agency has been assured that the article is incorrect in relation to any operational involvement of E-Nome in the operation of the Tyde consumer application. Additionally, it is currently not possible for a mobile application to download information from the My Health Record system.
The My Health Record Act does not permit a third party to sell a healthcare recipient�s information without the Healthcare Recipient�s consent and other legislation, such as the Healthcare Identifiers Act and Privacy Act, strictly regulates the use of healthcare identifiers and other personal information.
The Agency understands Tyde will be publishing a media response correcting the Daily Telegraph article.

Rebuffed by the ADHA, E-Nome looks to GP and hospital systems to enable people to access their health information and sell it on
Lynne Minion | 19 Dec 2017
The Australian Digital Health Agency has denied claims by technology start-up E-Nome that patients will be able to access their My Health Record and sell their medical data to researchers, governments, pharmaceutical companies and insurers via the company�s upcoming app.
But head of E-Nome Nick Curtis has told Healthcare IT News Australia the My Health Record data isn't crucial to the success of the company's platform, with plans to integrate into GP, hospital, allied health services and wearables systems, enabling people to trade their most private of information, including genomes.
The Daily Telegraph reported on Monday that E-Nome was seeking investors to fund the development of its online platform.
According to the company's Position Paper, the app will allow individuals to share their de-identified health data with whomever they choose.
�E-Nome�s business is about providing a platform by which the consumer is empowered to be placed in the middle of a global market worth billions of dollars a year trading their data,� E-Nome�s position paper says.
�Current data collection and transfer is managed by major corporate intermediaries. These corporate intermediaries profit directly from the inefficiency and constraints in data collection. E-Nome is seeking to disintermediate data transfer in the health sector.�
The company is seeking to raise revenue by offering a new crypto-currency called Nomes for sale and hopes a two-stage investment process raises up to $60 million to fund the development of the �E-Nome Ecosystem�, including the E-Nome App, E-Nome Research Portal, E-Nome Medical Practitioners Portal, E-Nome Electronic Data Warehouse and the E-Nome Core.
It claims an initial $10 million would be used as a strategic investment for 30 per cent of Tyde, a registered Portal Operator with the Australian Government Digital Health Agency and My Health Record, which would be �the first key pillar to delivering partnership content onto the E-Nome platform,� E-Nome�s position paper said until Monday when the claim was deleted.

Somewhere is all this is Tyde which has a website here:
It says that is puts you in control of your health information via apps for iOS and Android.:
Having read all this it seems to me that the best thing to do with all this is wait till the new year and see how it all plays out. Just who is doing what with whom, how the myHR is involved, if at all, is utterly unclear and there must be some clarifying fundamentals I am missing or this is all some sort of very odd fantasy!
I will report back when I am clearer � any explanatory comments welcome!
Merry Christmas!
