Safe Health Systems is a digital health and connected diagnostics company. In collaboration with Mayo Clinic, Safe Health developed the SAFE platform. The company's mission is to empower individuals, private-sector organizations, and governments with technology that facilitates decentralized care models and improves patient outcomes on a large scale.
The company provides a comprehensive Connected Care Platform that enables the rapid deployment of specialized digital health applications. Key services include integrated at-home and point-of-care diagnostic testing, remote patient monitoring, and telehealth experiences. The platform is designed for interoperability, allowing it to connect with and integrate siloed health data from various systems, including Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Safe Health also developed HealthCheck, a smartphone and desktop app.
The company utilizes the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create an immutable and verifiable log of patient information and unique health identifiers. This integration allows Safe Health to provide a high level of trust and data integrity for all stakeholders. By logging events and health records on the Hedera network, Safe Health can cryptographically prove the authenticity of data in real-time while preserving patient privacy, meeting regulatory compliance standards like HIPAA, and ensuring a secure foundation for its digital health solutions.
Theom is a data security and governance company founded in 2020 by a team of veterans from Google, Cisco, and Yahoo. The San Francisco-based firm was created to address the challenges of securing data in modern, federated cloud environments, a problem the founders experienced firsthand while building and scaling foundational data systems such as Hadoop and BigQuery.
The company's core offering is its Data and AI Operations Center, a platform that provides a unified control plane for data security and governance. Theom's technology works by focusing on the data itself, rather than the perimeter, to monitor and control access. The platform can map data flows and user identity in real-time without the use of agents, enforce least-privilege access policies, and detect threats before they escalate. It integrates with major cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, and AWS, providing security for everything from cloud data warehouses to generative AI pipelines.
Theom utilises the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to create a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable audit log of all actions taken on a customer's data. Every event, from data classification and risk remediation to simple observation, is logged on the Hedera network.
HashAxis is a global NFT marketplace built on the Hedera network, designed for buying, selling, and discovering digital collectibles and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It leverages the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to mint, manage, and trade NFTs and is supported by the HBAR foundation.
A key advantage of HashAxis is its utilization of Hedera's low and predictable transaction fees, high-speed performance (capable of 10,000 transactions per second), and carbon-negative footprint. This makes creating, buying, and selling NFTs comparatively more accessible and environmentally friendly. HashAxis also supports native Hedera functionalities including “atomic swaps” for secure peer-to-peer trading and on-chain royalty payments, which provide automatic compensation to creators for secondary sales.
HashAxis integrates “Filecoin” for decentralized NFT storage and is one of the only NFT marketplaces to offer a streamlined, no-code interface for users to engage with digital collectibles across various categories, including art, profile pictures and more.
