Dr Ramesh is a qualified medical doctor in India. He has completed his medical studies and he wants to serve the people.

Factfile:

Factfile: There is less then 1 doctor per 1000 people in India (0.725 per 1000 persons) as per a World Bank 2014 report.
Still there are a large number of doctors who remain unemployed as there are not enough jobs.
Doctors prefer to get jobs in bigger cities and would rather not go and serve in the villages where there are no facilities and poor infrastructure.
Yet most of the population lives in villages, small cities and remote locations and have little access to trained medical professionals.

One day Dr. Ramesh discovers On.Live. He enlists his services and in a few days he starts getting calls from various parts of the country.
On.Live is a ready to use broadcasting and consultancy services that anyone with an internet compatible phone or computer and an internet connection can use.

A person can start earning money by charging a fee per session for providing a service as a doctor charges his consultation fee.

A person can also use his compatible internet ready devices to run a nodes and help others provide services
With very little resource and money Dr.Ramesh has started a tele-medicine clinic that can serve patients who are far and wide.
His patients can book a consultation and through a live 2 way broadcast he gets to see his patients, ask them questions about their ailment and prescribe them medicines.
So On.Live is the solution to bridge the gap and help anyone anywhere in India, Africa or any other part of the world.
Tele medicine gives the opportunity to millions around the world to get health benefits at the fraction of the cost of going to a regular hospital. More then that it is the only hope to get medical treatment for a lot of people who do not have access to medical facilities.

What about the payments?

Providing a service is only one part of the story but some services require payments to be made.
An interesting point to note is that a large number of the world population has access to a mobile phone and internet connection. However out of this number very few have access to financial services like credit cards and banking so how could they possibly pay the fee?

On.Live comes to the rescue once again. It uses the ONL Token which is a standard ERC20 token to pay and receive fees.
Since On.Live is a decentralized marketplace where broadcast is used as a medium of transfer of knowledge and information based on a blockchain and it uses its own ONL tokens as money.

The ONL Token is a standard ERC20 token deployed on the Ethereum network.
The ONL token is so designed so that it can easily integrate with both decentralized as well as traditional exchanges.

A broadcaster can choose one of the many payment options besides making part of his content free or donation based if they wish to do so.
So Dr. Ramesh can offer free public lectures about hygiene and other ailments from time to time. This would be a good way of spreading awareness.
His patients can pay him with ONL tokens for his tele-medicine consultations which would be on a one to one basis.
Anyone can be a part of the Open Source network. There are a number of ways to benefit and earn as well from this.
Anyone can benefit from the On.Live Platform and even make money by taking one or more of the following roles as they seem fit.
