The world of cryptocurrencies is getting bigger each day. There was a time when most of us weren’t even aware of the term ‘Bitcoin’ and nowadays, everyone is talking about crypto-coins and the benefits of investing in ICOs. Well, this is definitely a nice industry for your next investment, however, the returns will depend on the project in which you are investing your money.

It is, therefore, crucial to know about the industry and the latest trending ICO projects before you decide to invest in the crypto space. Today, we are going to talk about one such project - Medipedia - that has already created a buzz in the crypto industry even before the ICO is launched.

What is Medipedia.io?

Tagged as one of the most promising ICOs of 2018, Medipedia is a blockchain based medical service delivery and information portal launched with the purpose to provide an effective platform for medical tourism patients to connect with proper healthcare services in a new place.

The present healthcare system is way too institution-oriented, i.e., the facilities and services are being provided with the goal to profit the medical institute and personnel, and not the patient. This creates an information gap and leaves patients struggling with incomplete or inaccurate information. Medipedia is a new, revolutionary healthcare system which is customer-oriented and provides a transparent platform from which patients, medical providers, and external users can benefit simultaneously.

How does the platform work?

The Medipedia platform will be available in an application format that could be accessed on a smartphone and/or a computer device. The app could be used by patients around the world for finding and connecting with the best doctors, healthcare facilities and hospitals in a given region. Through a dedicated app, patients can access the profile of a particular doctor or specialist, check their reviews and rating, specializations, professional qualification, etc, and contact them for further communication.

There is a reward point system, called Medipedia Rewards (MPR), which is a parameter of the quality and efficiency of a particular medical service or doctor or medical staff. Reward points are given to service providers based on the reviews shared by patients about them. These MPR can help patients find a good quality and reliable healthcare.

The platform will be launched along with a dedicated cryptocurrency, called Medipedia Token (MEP token), which will work as a default payment method for the users of the Medipedia platform. Investors and other users can acquire MEP tokens during the pre-ICO and ICO sale of Medipedia, which will be held in August 2018 and October 2018 respectively. These tokens could be used for the payment of services on the platform. Medipedia may also allow its platform users to send tokens to others users or use them on external platforms.
