There was a time when I need to go to a and have a regular checkup even though I’m well. I’m doing this to keep an eye on my health and prevent or treat any irregularities based on my laboratory results. The worst thing that usually happens to me is that I always end up ill after visiting a clinic or a hospital. Why? Well, besides the fact that my immune system may not be that strong at those times, it is because of a long waiting list where you have to fall in a long line of patients which exposes you to further contracting diseases. But this kind of burden that our healthcare system is experiencing will soon be gone.
Our healthcare sector is rapidly improving with the help of technology. From robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence to health care mobile apps, the medical industry is having a sort of revolution. Not to mention with the dawn of the era of the technology, the health industry is really gonna achieve something that even the people way back 10 years ago did not even think about it. With the help of technology, the platform we are going to talk about is expected to impact the global health care system which basically means it will integrate decentralization that technology offers. This platform is called CURES.
CURES is a decentralized platform that uses technology to help patients take control over their medical data enabling remote consultations. This platform will also utilize smart contracts to give more convenience to interactions between medical service providers, equipment suppliers, and patients. Basically, this means that CURES platform have their own platform for medical equipment suppliers to sell directly to patients, , clinics, and other medical service providers eliminating the middleman and reduce costs. Furthermore, this platform has something called HAPP Store which is a place where they offer their own apps that focuses on improving the quality of life of every person.
HAPP Store
I read an article (which I will put the link to the article down below) about a smartphone app where it non-invasively detects anemia on a person’s photos of their fingernails. A patient simply downloads the app and takes a photo of his/her fingernails, and the app detects a specific number of a patient’s hemoglobin levels. The app also has a quality control feature wherein it omits irregularities like a camera flash to preserve accuracy and measurement integrity.
The HAPP Store or Health App Store is a place where you can find apps that focus on remote diagnosis via a mobile app like the one I mentioned above. It also encourages developers to enlist their health apps free of charge. Currently, Health App offers the app called Vision. Vision provides solutions to everyday problems experienced by colorblind persons. This app was introduced by Vision Technology Ltd. where two of their co-founders are also the current co-founders and members of the CURES platform.
The will be available not only for mobile phone (Android and iOS) users but also for all electronic devices such as desktops (Windows and Mac OS). HAPP Store will utilize the smart contract to ensure quality, transparent, and secure transactions for users. This means that all transactions will be visible on the , making all transactions less vulnerable to fraud. Apps that are available on the HAPP Store can be bought using CURES . Each of the applications has its own private key that will be stored in a smart contract. There are two separate contracts, one is where all private keys of applications that were bought by users will be stored, and the second contract is where CURES platform will keep the application ID and key. This key will be connected to the buyer’s eth address, and the buyer is the only one that will be able to retrieve it through the platform.
CURES token
This will be like the ‘fuel’ of the CURES platform that will power all the services that are and will become available in the platform’s ecosystem. It is a utility that will be used by users to pay for products and services on the CURES platform. Although CURES will also become tradable on the market, it is solely for the purpose of utility and not intended as shares or securities.
Overall, the CURES platform will provide solutions to the current inaccessibility of medical services which is an effect of bureaucracy, inefficient medical insurance, and inaccessible places and distances. This platform connects healthcare professionals and patients for remote consultations and diagnosis, providing a better and convenient healthcare system for the future. CURES platform is also expected to eliminate the problems involved with cross-border payments. Because of integrating technology on their platform, transfers are done immediately and more secure and transparent. The platform also enables access to affordable, convenient, and quality medical care that often requires more time and money in many countries. Transparency is also a priority the CURES platform through the implementation of smart contracts. All transactions that are recorded on the cannot be reversed or tampered, leaving no place for fraud.
So what are your thoughts about CURES platform? I encourage you, people, to discover your own reasons why CURES and its health care apps can bring improvements to our quality of life.
