Real Health

on the Blockchain
Real Health on the Blockchain is a decentralized, peer-to-peer, usage-based alternative healthcare exchange linking consumers with licensed alternative healthcare providers, such as chiropractors, naturopaths and acupuncturists, on a private blockchain based medical record keeping and billing platform. The platform allows members access to a referral network of vetted providers through a web based, educational portal of entry, enabling easy online consultations, scheduling of recommended or requested treatments, and providing patients with lifetime control of their personal medical records.

Alternative healthcare today is diverse and disconnected.
It lacks a reliable, trusted resource connecting healthcare consumers with vetted, licensed practitioners.
If only there was an app for that ... how could a blockchain based social network/ financial payment platform like bitcoin help?

Alternative healthcare today, diverse and disconnected, lacks a reliable, trusted resource connecting healthcare consumers with vetted, licensed practitioners. An independent blockchain creating an autonomous financial and record keeping system is the solution.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICAL SYSTEM:
Centralized. Profit driven care.
Lack of control of personal data.
An insurance based, top down system which restricts access to overly specialized care.

Americans pay the most for healthcare, yet have some of the worst health outcomes in the developed world, ranking behind Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. And the trends are not improving.

So despite spending $3.5 trillion in 2017...
Americans ranked worse in
life expectancy, infant mortality, obesity, and incidence of cancer deaths, when comparing healthcare spending per capita to other developed nations.

Many Americans already choose safe, effective alternative healthcare. Data from a 2012 National Institute of Health indicate that the U.S. public spent billions of dollars out of pocket on complementary healthcare.

Blockchain p2p technology allows diverse health practitioners to better compete as a unified group, challenging the insurance based, allopathic medical system, by offering consumers easier access and more choice.

Peer to peer blockchain technology allows diverse alternative healthcare practitioners to better compete as a unified group both financially and ideologically, challenging the established, insurance-based allopathic medical system, by offering consumers easier access and more choice.

Both consumers and providers benefit by better standardization of record keeping and data collection, leading to best practice standards.

Better standardization of record keeping and data collection will help establish guidelines for best practices and referral. All disciplines will benefit, and so will healthcare consumers.

Value and credibility are added to existing practices, increasing access and referral capacity, enabling practitioners to provide a high level of care.

A p2p decentralized alternative healthcare platform siphoning off 1% of the $3.5 trillion healthcare market puts $35 billion of transactions on the
Real Health blockchain.

If a competitive, peer to peer, decentralized alternative healthcare platform, not dependent on insurance for payment, commandeered even 1% of the market, that would put over $300 billion of transactions on the blockchain !
And, US health care spending is expected to reach nearly 20% of GDP by 2025.

Target markets are California, New York, and the coastal regions of the USA, given the number of established practitioners and the existing patient base.

Most alternative healthcare professionals practice near the coastal regions in the US. Practitioners in CA and NY are likely the best test markets to target, given the existing practitioner and patient base, and the number of chiropractic college students.

Chiropractors are the dominant licensed alternative healthcare practitioners in the US, numbering about 60,000. There are 15 chiropractic colleges in the US, 42 worldwide.
All are potential adopters of this platform.

It's unacceptable that Americans are spending more and getting less.
Improving alternative healthcare delivers better value for healthcare dollars spent.

Real Health is a viable and needed project.
It's unacceptable that Americans are spending more and getting less value for their health care dollars than the rest of the Western world! Many are already choosing safe, effective alternative healthcare and getting better value for their money.

Real Health on the Blockchain is a decentralized, peer-to-peer, usage based platform, connecting alternative healthcare professionals and consumers, facilitating access to quality, coordinated health care.

It's possible to build a decentralized, peer to peer, usage based alternative healthcare system, connecting competent, licensed alternative healthcare professionals who can offer a team approach, to the benefit of both providers and consumers.
