We believe that there is a market, much like Groupon has, for discount coupons for health and fitness that can be purchased with the tokens. We also believe that people will use the crypto to enter into sweepstakes for new or trending tech. As the platform grows with different types of challenges, we believe very personalized goals will be developed and there will ways to earn these tokens by getting healthy.
As far as needing blockchain, it is for a number of reasons. The tokens are used as part of a machine-to-machine communication process. The longer term vision for Helix3 is to have Advanced Telehealth Centers powered by IoMT devices, that can off-load work from Primary Care Physicians (over 3 weeks AVG wait time today). There are deep learning and AI applications, clinical research and trials. Once a platform is created that brings data together to be used in a meaningful way, it will be vital that permissions, identity, sharing, controls and transparency are part of the foundation of the platform.
We believe all these things warrant the use of blockchain along with the tokens being used as loyalty and rewards points, which act as currency in the marketplace.
