CURES: AN ALL-INCLUSIVE HEALTHCARE ECOSYSTEM

There is a critical need to correct the broken state of global healthcare. It is in fact worse in most third world countries where a wide gap between the rich and poor is prevalent hence, access to quality healthcare is reserved only for the ultra wealthy.

Various problems plague the existing healthcare systems today and i would explore just a few of them.

SOME CHALLENGES FACED IN THE HEALTHCARE SECTOR TODAY

1. Global Healthcare costs are at an all time high. The ageing population in particular are placing increasing demands for their delicate healthcare plans. And we all know that an increase in healthcare needs is equally proportional to an increase in overall healthcare expenditure.

2. Poor healthcare service accessibility: The major reason for setting an appointment with a healthcare personnel in the first place is usually to seek time-sensitive treatment or to receive urgent attention which if not received at that very moment could prove detrimental to the patients health or even fatal.

The reverse though is the case today as easy and quick accessibility of healthcare is hardly available.

More and more people are visiting online forums to get information that should be made available by healthcare specialists in the first place in one-on-one consultations, and as we are all inherently different, what works for Mr A doesn't exactly work for Mr B, this on its own is why patients complicate their health issues in the short and long term due to self medication or recommendations from non-healthcare providers.

THE CURES SOLUTION

The CuresToken project, by exploring Blockchain Technology, has brought multiple solutions to the table to shapen the future of healthcare for the healthcare payers and healthcare providers alike.

The Blockchain technology offers an affordable, effective, secure and immutable system for recording transactions in a fully transparent way.

All transactions recorded on the Blockchain are public and can never be reversed, this makes it the perfect tool for surmounting many of the challenges prevalent in today's healthcare system.

The team behind Cures are accomplished professionals who have undertaken extensive research to come up with the Cures platform, a complete digital health ecosystem that connects patients to healthcare professionals, robust cross-platform health applications, flexible payments system, complete control of individual health data, improved medical tourism experience, easy access to medical equipments and so much more.

A BREAKDOWN OF THE FEATURES OF THE CURES ECOSYSTEM

Cures utilizes Smart Contracts on the Ethereum Blockchain to bring an added layer of security to all transactions in the ecosystem. Smart Contracts are simply pieces of code that are a trustworthy go-between in transactions that involve various entities.

Cures has 6 main features which are :

THE HEALTH APPS (HApps) STORE

Health applications have seen a sharp increase in response to patients demands, however, most of these health apps have limited medical value or don't deliver half the services advertised.

The sharp amd penetrating adoption of mobile devices has led to an influx of many mobile health apps called "mApps" and Cures will be providing a rich Health Apps Store that will not only feature mApps but also a wide range of health apps that are guranteed to support empowerment of patients and reduce reliance on conventional medical care.

Patients can purchase very affordable HApps using the native CuresTokens. The HApps store is also open to application developers to list their apps using CuresTokens as their medium of purchase.

ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS

Electronic Health Records were made to be a patient's entire medical records accumulated overtime that is quickly accessible to healthcare teams at the point of a patient's treatment.

But today, a patient's medical data is scattered across many health institutions visited at one time or the other for diverse treatments.
These records are held by these institutions, thereby taking away stewardship from the true owner - the patient.

Cures gives the complete authority over individual medical data back to the owner with the options of monetizing their health data or granting access to physicians as they please by using smart contracts .

Cures will maintain medical records accurately with the option of correcting and updating data by utilizing Interplanetary File System (IPFS) in tandem with smart contracts.

HEALTH ASSURANCE

Medical emergencies are never planned for expected but they do happen! And the only way to be ready for such incidents is to be prepared and if possible get covered under some insurance that will help you withstand them when they actually happen.

The Proprietary contracts integrated in the Cures platform empowers patients to be able to purchase contracts for rotor medical assistance.

These contracts are also beneficial to the health providers as they ensure that they will always have jobs to look forward to in the future.

To further extend this enticing feature, the purchased contracts cane be sold, traded for other contracts or even gifted to loved ones who have need for it.

In essesnce, the contracts are liquid and will not tie your money down forever, they could even be held just like any crypto asset and sold on the Cures platform when there's an increase in CuresToken value.

MARKETPLACE AND TRUST REVIEW PLATFORM

In the Cures marketplace, medical service providers can exhibit their array of offered services to potential patients for free. While patients can viee an unlimited number of services from healthcare providers all over the world and make decisions on the best providers to visit.

These basic features are offered on the Cures platform free of charge but patients can prioritise their search for a service using CuresTokens to receive attractive prices from different healthcare providers and ultimately make the best choice, while healthcare providers can optimize patients' search to their benefit by using a number of CuresTokens.

Users that are dissatisfied with services offered by a healthcare provider can lodge complaints with the Cures team for resolution and subsequent removal of such providers on the platform.

THE TRADING PLATFORM

This is the platform where Medical equipment suppliers are directly linked to patients who need their products and healthcare providers who want to order in bulk.

The trading platform enables these equipment suppliers sell their products faster by organising sales as well.

THE CHARITABLE TRUST FUND

Cures believes that humanity is our biggest resource and charitable giving is a vital aspect of the ecosystem. 5% of total token supply will be reserved for a period of time to be donated to charities and funds that improve the lives of people all over the world.
