Hi evcarlowa!


Doctors list available: it is a query system. Once the system is built and operational, members/ patients (sapiens!) will be able navigate the portal and search for the doctors by specialty, location, price, rating and more. Cost will depend of the procedure and consultation, but it is certainly very competitive as we are creating an open market for medicine.

Hi theroniusmaximus, thanks for stopping in.

One of the many things that separates HealthSapiens from other healthcare platforms is it's integration of the scientific community to be apart of the HealthSapiens ecosystem. We can't stress enough the importance of the decentralized EMR service that HealthSapiens has built in; it enables the whole system. Lets start with that.

1. Patients upload their encrypted data to the HealthSapiens EMR cloud.
   a. Doctors can now receive immediate patient data for whoever they treat
   b. Data is not passed from provider to provider, but rather data is added to the patient EMR account, by each treating provider.
2. This creates a growing pool of encrypted, private, patient owned data. This is something that legacy systems cannot offer; data is hoarded and siloed away from public use. It's also unencrypted and susceptible to hacking and identity theft.
   a. Researchers can offer DOC tokens to access patient data from the EMR cloud.
   b. These DOC tokens are given to the patients who provided the data that researchers paid for. This service is optional; any patient can choose to keep their data private. However, a patient who elects to sell their data, doesn't have their identity assigned to the sold data. They can still retain privacy.
   c. Now that researchers have access to an endlessly growing pool of data, new research can be completed that was never able to be done before, adding to the quality of the healthcare ecosystem as a whole.
3. Additionally, healthcare services like seminars or events are also DOC integrateable, and allows for off-network payment for services.

Hi Hailey,

Hi Marizy

The HealthSapiens token, the DOC token, lives on-top of the ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is validated by proof of work mining, and will switch to Proof of Stake later. The DOC token supply will never increase or decrease after the initial minting, as it doesn't need its own validation mechanism.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hi CryptoConcensus, good to see other healthcare workers in the cryptospace. Indeed, the internet 2.0 has never fulfilled the early promises and visions that we all remember a decade ago; efficient, paperless office spaces, with interconnected workers and direct peer-to-peer relationships.

Indeed, we at HealthSapiens believe that the cryptocurrency and token economy revolution is going to be able to deliver the original intention of the internet.

Where there are office spaces, there will be paper. In order to truly achieve a paperless office, you need to have an office-less office. What we mean by that, is that with the Token Economy, people's office will be wherever they chose to work. Their laptop will be all the office they need, and (hopefully) thanks to platforms like HealthSapiens, a doctors office can be transformed into two people connecting over the internet in their preferred method, and the documents and files are instantly accessible via the online EMR cloud service that is integrated into the platform.

Hi AlphairyA, thanks for hopping in here.

The need for the DOC token comes from a number of different aspects of the DApp system that HeathSapiens is designing.

This project not be done with ETH for a number of different reasons. First off; if every tokenized project/platform simply replaced their token with ETH, there would be risk for a valuation crisis, where each platform is attempting to pull a finite amount of ETH into their ecosystem, and away from the rest of the network. ETH needs to remain the currency/gas of the ETH platform, and not a replacement for tokens in their own micro-platform on the EVM. Additionally, if many projects succeeded in pulling ETH into their ecosystem, then it would result in diminished Ethereum network security, as Ethereum is moving to PoS, and requires Ether to be staked in order to secure the network. Another reason why using ETH is suboptimal; the network health as a whole needs to be taken into account.

Having a DOC token seperates the network valuation from eachother. Where, without a token, the HealthSapiens platform would be intricately tied to the valuation of Ether; having a separate DOC token allows for price discovery within its own ecosystem, without the HealthSapiens ecosystem being interconnected to entirely different, unrelated platforms that use the same currency (eth) to run it.

A DOC token also provides some more concrete, tangible solutions to the creation of a network. A token is needed for the creation of a token rewards pool to help bootstrap the growth of the network. For example, a pool of tokens is needed for the rewards for patients who leave a review for a physician. Tokens are also paid to patients who share their EMRs with a researcher or pharmaceutical company. A token pool also creates a reward supply for new patients and also new care providers, creating an incentive to join the ecosystem. Another bootstrapping feature.

As for retaining and growing value; tokens gain value based on the users that need to use the token. There is no shortage of sick people in the world, and also no shortage of internet-connected people, meaning that the token has a use-case for a wide number of people. It is the job of HealthSapiens, and hopefully this ICO, to get the tokens into the hands of as many people as possible, so care providers have a large number of different customers looking for their service. The care providers that truly provide good, quality care will be sought after, thanks to the built in rating and reputation platform that HealthSapiens is integrating. The long term vision is that care providers that have earned high ratings will be in demand the most, and they require DOC tokens for their services. The ratings and reputation platform is built so that it incentivizes doctors to achieve high ratings, so that they can demand more tokens for their services. This creates token demand from people who need access to doctors.

Then simple market forces get into play; demand for tokens theoretically increases token value.

Let me know if this answered your question; it is a common one and one that is very important to ask while auditing projects! Glad your head is in the right spot.
