UPDATE: 5th August 2019
Herriot Lux Pet Data Unification Protocol (PUP) - Concept - White Paper - Petcoin (PETC)
Herriot Lux Inc, a not-for-profit organisation based in Melbourne, Australia, have developed since January 2018. The ERC20 token Petcoin (PETC) is a utility token that is a driver of the ecosystem we are building.
Using a suite of applications addressing four problems:
Poor horizontal transfer of pet health data.
Lack of hybrid stablecoin payment system to allow cross-border settlement of pet insurance globally.
High entry requirement for quality veterinary practice management software.
Poor coverage of basic health care to pets owned by owners on restricted budgets.
One of the choke points in veterinary data management is client data friction between clinics, clinicians, specialists, referral clinics and laboratories, all attempting to address patient problems with incongruous and often digitally incompatible data.
What we are attempting to do with PETC is to solve this problem by creating a mobile pet owner-facing data storage app which seamlessly integrates and displays pet medical data from multiple vet clinics, specialty centers and laboratories.
In Australia, there are a handful of professional veterinary software management programs (Rx Works, CHS, VetlinkSQL, IDEXX Cornerstone, Henry Schein). Most are proprietary and incompatible with other software. Some veterinarians use in-house ad hoc software systems.
It is not uncommon for new clients at a clinic to present with multiple pages of historical data, often inconclusive or vague with respect to diagnoses and treatments.
What we are attempting to create is a digital data management system for veterinary patient health records, stored within an app that is free to use, authorizes the pet owner as custodian of the data and allows seamless integration and updates from other veterinary sources (specialists, laboratories, prior clinics).
The driving impetus to pull pet data toward the pet owner’s app (and this drive adoption) is peace of mind arising from having cogent and integrated veterinary records on the single app. Pet owners will thus request and thus legally procure relevant data from their veterinary provider without compromising veterinary records or confidentiality.
Blood results, radiographic and CT results, diagnoses, and medical therapies can be procured through pet owner request.
For startup clinics, the app also functions competitively as a fully operational veterinary practice management software (VPMS).
The app is currently being implemented as a beta app with CHS (Ciderhouse), a No. 2 VPMS based in Melbourne and operations worldwide.
Starting in January 2018, we have also been working on CHS integrating our app with Petsure insurance underwriting. This feature will hopefully be rolled out in 2020.
The PUP app features Petsure insurance underwriting, incorporated through Ciderhouse's CHS software. Insurance premiums and veterinary payout settlements will be done via a Herriot Lux proprietors stablecoin, provisionally called PUP.
The advantage of using a utility token as a hybrid stablecoin for settlements of insurance premiums and payments is that they allow immediate, secure, decentralised, low fee payments across borders.
In addition to using Petcoin (PETC) obtained through the app as a form of Pet Savings, tethered to Australian Dollars. Petcoin can be earned in a variety of ways, including being a petsure.com.au pet insurance policy holder and an amount of Petcoin given when taking out cover for the first time or during policy renewal. This Petcoin can be redeemed at market rate to contribute to insurance gap costs for treatments and consultations and the Vet being paid in Australian Dollars.
Balance tracking through the mobile app would display a Tethered Value (value amount of fiat currency used to obtain Petcoin) and a Market Value (value that can be attained for PETC on digital exchanges). In the event that the market value becomes lower than the tethered value, the mobile app user can still access the value as is held reserve by Herriot Lux.
A tokenised ecosystem has all the features of fiat without the high fees associated with other fiat payment methods. With users in multiple countries, Herriot Lux would be able to settle premiums and payouts immediately without waiting for bank settlement.
Initially tethered to the AUD$, but over time would be weighted against other currencies including the US$ and GBP£.
The advantage of tokenised hybrid stablecoin settlements of insurance premiums and payments is that they allow immediate, secure, decentralized, low fee payments across borders. Enabling Vets to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum and other digital assets and being paid in Australian Dollars, with PUP facilitating the conversion.
Most VPMS software are limited to Western country based veterinarians, with poorer countries relying on open-source software such as MS Excel, etc.
A low cost veterinary practice management software (VPMS) oftware would be incorporated into the app as an add-on feature, either through an in-house VPMS or use of existing VPMS such as CHS through software licensing agreement.
Our medium term goal is to develop PUP into its own blockchain amalgam. A public/private chain for pet data including genealogical lineage validation, genome data an immutable memorialisation enshrining an animals social media content alongside medical history. On top of the aforementioned features.

UPDATE: 13august18
To clarify intent of the project, below is one of the 2 LinkedIn Recruitment ads up at the time of writing.
Administration
Company Name Petcoin.org.au
Company Location Melbourne, Australia
Job description
We are building a multifaceted solution that will function as a repository for pet health records that are portable, secure and owner permissioned. So no more relying on manual transmission of data between Vets, especially in emergency situations. Or having to carry around a separate vaccination card, it will be on hand, anywhere your phone is and you control who can access your pets medical history and when. Petcoin itself is a store of value, through the Petcoin app you can put away one-off amounts or a regular subscription, then that value can be spent on Veterinary Procedures or Pet Supplies and Enrichment. Or send Petcoin to an animal in need via the philanthropic network also built into the app.
Petcoin has a 10 year plan to establish itself as a not-for-profit organisation. So if you think at some stage, in any capacity, over the next 10 years you might like to collaborate and work with us then we would like to hear from you. We will begin offering the following types of work when we roll into stage 3 of our crowdsale (ICO - Initial Coin Offering) during January 2019 or sooner.
~ App Testers and Market Research Participants
~ Social media engagement (AKA Customer Service)
~ Administration
~ Blockchain Development
~ International Outreach and Liaison
~ Trade Marketing
The organisation (Herriot Lux Inc) will be based on the concept of a Mesh, like the way ConsenSys operate a global network that is in tune with decentralization. Moving past the hierarchical structures and monotheic principles of the time before 2150 when Bitcoin fully distributes. There is no real need to be the best, the largest, the most, sit atop the apex of a power pyramid or make the biggest pile of money. Democracy will play a big part, using the kind of dApps developed by projects like Horizon State proposals and decisions will have an element of attaining consensus through secure, immutable and efficient processes.
Our recruitment process will be something a little different. Petcoin is not necessarily looking for the best, but the people who should, want or need to collaborate with us. From the pool of pre-screened applications, with different variables depending on the type work being recruited for, our short lists will be randomly selected to 10, 20, 30. Followed by a more traditional process to select 2 candidates to be decided by a coin flip. Petcoin are cultivating a team and organisational environment that can work with anyone and develop their capability to perform a range of functions. Your official job title will be your name, then attached to that are roles, tasks, work and activity.
What we are offering at this stage is:
Minimum wage for the organisation is $100 +GST as a contractor for 1 -10 hours per week.
Work from anywhere (that’s safe to)
Flexible arrangements. We integrate our work into your life. Rather than expecting your life to fit around our work.
Our mission and purpose is to minimise the number of animals that are euthanized due to financial restrictions of the pet owner or the lack of a robust global philanthropic network, accessible to all. Eliminate any additional suffering an animal may experience due to a delay in the transmission of treatment information and medical history.
