CURES PLATFORM: APPLYING BLOCKCHAIN IN HEALTHCARE TO HELP IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE.
Access to proper healthcare is paramount to sustaining life and as well as living a well and proper life in good health. Health is basically defined as the complete well being of an individual both in the physical, social and mental aspect of life and not just the absence of ailment or disease. Life is thus the basic characteristics which distinguishes physical entities that possess biological processes that include self sustaining processes as well as signaling from those that lacks them.
With the current surge in the healthcare cost which has led to a rise in the GDP as well as revenues from taxes meant to fund the healthcare system a need for implementation of reforms that will help address this is therefore a much needed development. Cost of healthcare in more advanced countries is on the increase and speculations are been made that by mid-century if the current healthcare sector is to continue like it is, healthcare services will be unaffordable.
Thus the Cures platform have therefore decided to take the bull by the horn and do something about the current healthcare system and they are thus aiming to incorporate standard healthcare reforms that will render healthcare services affordable and also available for individuals on a globally scale which will this help to increase the quality of life with no limitations whatsoever.
CURES PLATFORM REVIEW
CURES platform is a platform designed on decentralised features of the blockchain technology system to offer improved and efficient healthcare services unlike the current centralised healthcare system. The platform aims to acheive these through process that includes: empowering healthcare equipment suppliers, medical healthcare providers even down to the patients who require these healthcare services. The platform aims to use blockchain technology system to help maximise scarce resources within the healthcare sector, reduce cost of healthcare services, as well as capitalising on synergy that will in turn add value to all the neccessary as well as relevant stake holders.
The cures platform was designed on 6 basic pillars aimed to help solve the basic problems looming in the current healthcare sector which includes; increase in the aging number, advances in medical processes, increase in cost of healthcare services. The 6 pillars that forms the cures platform includes;
A. App Store For Health Apps (Happ Store):
The Happ will be developed by the cures platform to help offer an improved eyesight, vision as well as improved quality of life and also nurturing any developer to enable them list their health apps for free without any charge.
B. Health Assurance Platform: with the blockchain technology system which is the basis on which the cures platform is developed, the innovative future contracts concept of the cures platform will allow or enable specific as well as generic contracts. With this, medical service providers will be encouraged to offer these contracts at a discount rate and in return will be paid for it.
C. Electronic Health Records: with this concept, Cures users will have their medical record or data at their fingertips and thus will enable them take full control of their data and thus facilitate remote consultations and also obtaining of second opinions will thus help reduce visit to healthcare institutions as well as reduce the waiting lists that can futher lead to contracting diseases.
D. Marketplace And Trust Review Platform: with this concept onboard the cures platform, users or better still patients in need of proper healthcare will no longer be expected to seek medical services only by recommendations but will have the opportunity to surf the internet in search of quality medical services with no limitation of border or boundaries whatsoever. It will also help minimise cost, ensure security etc. The major aim here is to develop a trust review system where once a transaction is carried out using a blockchain only the individual at the receiving end will be allowed to post either a good or bad review on the platform.
E. A Trading Platform: developing a comprehensive sales channel for prospective medical equipment suppliers will enable them to sell directly to patients as well as to hospitals as well as clinics on a wholesale scale which will not only reduce cost but will also cut down the unusual long supply chains.
F. A Charitable Trust Fund: The trust fund will be funded either by free-will donations from users or through 5% commission of the total token in supply. This concept is therefore aimed at improving lives in regions where individuals are deprived of proper healthcare services.
