Can not wait until this project reaches a huge capitalization, otherwise you’ll be late, you’ve to invest now. In future it will blooming

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.

I guess that makes sense. I work in a physical therapy office, and we still fax stuff. the internet we know today never really created the paperless office, but I would imagine that medical services that used a blockchain database for immutability would actually solve that issue.

I love the idea of applying blockchain tech to the healthcare sector, but why does your platform require a new token? Couldn't it exist using current options? Also, why will your token retain or gain value? Thx

Hi everyone! Just added the Health Sapiens ICO to my website https://concourseq.io/Q/Health_Sapiens. ConcourseQ is a collaborative due diligence community that researches and reviews ICOs. Anyone with an account can submit information to your page, so we are reaching out to this community to get you all involved in the discussion. Thanks!

HealthSapiens is currently a fully operational network that connects patients to physicians. We are proposing to build the first decentralized healthcare platform for disintermediating patients and providers, while providing a new incentive model for proactive, outcome-based rewards.

Powered by the Ethereum blockchain, physicians and patients will be able to connect directly, manage payments, and gain access to electronic medical records, while still complying with global privacy and safety requirements.

All parties involved in the offering or consuming of care will be incentivized in a self-sustaining, tokenized free-market environment that thrives on transparency, tangible activity, and accuracy of care, instead of the interest of an intermediary








Most nations on the planet are too poor, and their Healthcare system is too disorganized to provide any kind of efficient mass medical care. Clearly, such systems go against human ethics and create an even greater disparity – widening the gap between rich and poor. The rich can afford healthcare, while the poor stay sick or die. Even worse, in rural regions of Africa, India, China and South America, hundreds of millions of people go their whole lives without ever seeing a doctor. First-world nations are not immune from the broken system; according to the National Association of Community Health Centers, approximately 62 million individuals in the United States have limited or no access to primary care physicians as a result of shortages.



Top barriers to care
Regardless of the Healthcare system that underpins the foundation of healthcare delivery, whether it is a single-payer, government, or an insurance-driven system, the barriers-to-care can be defined as:


Lack of access to care
-People’s provider choices are confined to their regional area
-There can be as few as one doctor per 1,000 people in some areas
-Poor access to care often removes one’s ability to make care a priority, leading to formerly-preventable urgent care visits

High costs
-Access to Healthcare is often dependent on full-time employment
-According to the Journal of American Medical Association, $734 billion (27%) of all healthcare spending was wasted on unnecessary services, inefficiency and inflated prices.
-According to Truven Analytics, 71% of emergency room visits with employer-sponsored insurance coverage are ambulatory sensitive, and could have be managed in an outpatient care center.

Too many intermediaries
-Every intermediary in the healthcare chain adds
-Undue costs to the consumer
-Delays to providing care
-Misaligned incentives for each party involved
-Patient data is spread and stored in centralized servers with third parties that never interact with the patient.

Low quality care
-With centralized systems, doctors are incentivized to shorten appointment times so they can see as many patients as possible
-Important symptoms or necessary information can be missed
-A sick-care model is the status quo: care is provided only after illness manifests
-Missed-diagnoses are rewarded similarly to correct diagnoses
-Electronic Medical Records are non-standardized and siloed away from parties that need access. The information needed by doctors is not passed accurately from party to party




By creating a decentralized Electronic Medical Record (EMR) which is cryptographically secured and owned by the patient, we will be laying the foundation for a new and powerful global healthcare network. With medical records being placed upon a blockchain, patient data can provided to the people that need it both instantaneously and privately. This platform will lower the cost of medical care, increase convenience and give patients control over their health care.

With the blockchain platform physicians will have the option to live and practice wherever they choose while providing care to anywhere in the world, regardless of country, culture, or language. This method removes all possible barriers for care to be restricted to one geographical region or political jurisdiction.




HealthSapiens’ singular “3-in-1” blockchain model uses the Ethereum protocol to:

1. Establish a trust-free healthcare delivery system creating multiple chains with a consensus systems to link global players
2. Solve healthcare legacy system dilemma of sharing vs. protecting data. The current healthcare legacy systems were designed as information silos and not designed to share data. Our platform connects legacy systems to modern technologies.

Our underlying blockchain technologies allow interoperability of EMR from various worldwide legacy systems for various personal data transactions by:
-Identifying the person that is subject of the data
-Identifying the user requesting person’s data
-Recording and auditing the authorization to release the person’s data,
-Establishing the authenticity of the data that is being released,
-Paying the service that offered the personal data,
-And auditing that the shared data was used as expected





HealthSapiens DOC is the native token of the HealthSapiens platform that can be purchased or earned by contributing to the network. Users of this platform can use tokens to execute smart contract payments and transactions within the system. The patient’s HealthSapiens token card will automatically get transferred to the coin wallet of physicians, whom they visit via smart contracts in the blockchain.


How it works

The HealthSapiens token is the fuel for driving the blockchain infrastructure. It propels the movement from a fee-for-service model to a value-based model. It is also used in payment, once smart contracts are executed. Compensation will be based on how effectively the network of providers work together to ensure improvement in the quality of care and wellness outcome, while at the same time reducing associated care cost.

The token exchange process is triggered when a patient sees a doctor; when a patient review is submitted and validated by a pool of physicians; and when scientists contribute research to the platform.
