The LifeBand Protocol ensures real-time synchronization of states by linking metadata and access states to a decentralized ledger. Whenever an update occurs, it triggers immediate changes in the wallet-signed state, which are then communicated through verifiable on-chain events. This mechanism guarantees consistency and auditability without the need for centralized coordination or data polling.

Patient control is enforced at the protocol level through wallet-bound permissions. All data interactions require cryptographic consent, which can be verified on-chain and is linked to the patient’s wallet. No third party can access or modify healthcare records without explicit, transaction-level approval from the patient, ensuring that patients have immutable authority over the lifecycle of their data.

Zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technologies create a zero-trust privacy architecture by allowing users to validate data without disclosing the data itself. Trust is minimized by design—healthcare transactions are verified through cryptographic proofs instead of direct data exposure. LifeBand serves as a control layer, ensuring that sensitive data stays encrypted and cannot be accessed without authorized proof execution from the patient's wallet.
