The ADI Foundation, an Abu Dhabi-based organization developing sovereign-grade blockchain infrastructure, has advanced in its partnership with Apeiro to support governments in modernizing national healthcare systems.
Apeiro is replacing fragmented legacy systems with a unified digital health ecosystem that improves patient access and clinical outcomes while maintaining the economic sustainability of state-run healthcare programs.
The new framework introduces blockchain as a trust and verification layer to strengthen the integrity of healthcare insurance systems. By permanently recording claim actions in an immutable ledger, it helps detect, deter, and significantly reduce fraud and duplicate claims. The framework also enhances accountability across insurers and healthcare providers, creating a single, reliable source of truth for audits and dispute resolution.
Many healthcare systems struggle to audit e-claims end-to-end in real time, placing pressure on insurers, providers, and regulators. Apeiro’s platforms address this challenge by enabling integrated, interoperable healthcare ecosystems that expand access to high-quality care.
Each claim and key step in its lifecycle is converted into a unique, time-stamped ‘digital fingerprint’ and recorded on ADI Chain, creating a tamper-evident audit trail. This enables stakeholders to verify what happened, when, and by whom, without storing patient or medical data on-chain. Existing hospital and insurer systems remain unchanged, ensuring full privacy and regulatory compliance.
The ADI Foundation and Apeiro have completed the first phase of their collaboration, bringing an added layer of verification, and auditability to healthcare insurance claim workflows. In the first phase, the teams successfully tested and validated the solution on ADI Chain testnet, confirming the core design and workflows for moving into deployment.
With the ADI-Apeiro production-ready solution, the next phase will focus on integration within real-world healthcare insurance environments, supporting systems that are looking to reduce fraud, strengthen audits, and modernize digital infrastructure. Overall, this initiative enhances transparency, protects public funds, and builds long-term confidence in national healthcare claims systems.

“At the ADI Foundation, we measure innovation by outcomes: when governments and healthcare institutions can verify claims with greater confidence, disputes reduce, audits become faster, and resources can be directed where they are needed most. This is how we make healthcare more accessible, more trusted, and more efficient for the many, not the few, this is how we help change lives and revolutionize economies.”
Osama Malki, Chief Business Officer of Apeiro, stated that, “Through this partnership, we are pioneering the digital transformation of health ecosystems. By helping governments and insurers digitise policies, claims, and patient management, we can expand access while improving efficiency. Ultimately, secure data interoperability, blockchain recordkeeping, and telehealth integration bring us closer to universal health coverage at scale.”
In parallel, the ADI Foundation and Apeiro will work with public-sector healthcare stakeholders across priority markets, including the Middle East and Africa, as part of broader efforts to roll out trusted digital infrastructure, empowering governments and institutions to accelerate the growth of digital economies.
