In the coming years healthcare is going to become much more if not completely tokenised where it can be. Not only does this mean many programs and schemes will be appearing to coincide with this bit, it also means some impressive changes to healthcare as a whole.

The introduction of a tokenised healthcare system means that among other things primarily data will be extremely secure and accessible from just about anywhere on the globe, tokenising would also mean it would be incredibly difficult to edit if not near impossible. Having a tokenised system makes way for not only better research but also more precise treatments, being accessible from anywhere companies can use the data how they see fit, be it using it to improve customer service on a per person basis or to improve research speed and results with a gigantic pool of information to pull from.

Over recent years there have been many blockchain projects that have started up and fizzled out. I’m going to be taking a look at a few of them.

To start off we have what started the recent popularity of blockchain as a format, bitcoin. The first instance of cryptocurrency, bitcoin is revolutionary not only by shaking up the global market with a new currency but also kickstarting what would eventually become a wide range of uses for blockchain as a whole. However not much can be said about the original bitcoin due to its development history being shrouded in mystery, bitcoin 2.0 though we can.

Bitcoin 2.0 is an upgrade over its predecessor in that it expanded how blockchain can be used, no more was it just a currency but it also paved the way for blockchain to be used as a way of validating digital assets as wholly unique. This new upgrade also came with ways of making the system for acquiring bitcoin and subsequently any currency more efficient.

Currently today the HLTH token and HTLH.network is attempting to revolutionize the healthcare field using blockchain technology as its backbone. In the very same way BTC2 created its ledger system, HLTH aims to revolutionize communication and data storage systems that can be accessed from anywhere by anyone for primarily medical needs. On top of that the coin created for it is to be used in the marketplace generated for the network not only as a form of currency but also a way of providing precision medical care as best as an online storefront can. This also allows researchers to use the information in the ledger as data for genomic and treatment research in these fields to progress at higher rates.

The new global healthcare system is cantered around the blockchain data marketplace, this resolves several issues plaguing the global research community and provides next-gen level data sharing, bioinformatics, digital biobanking and more.

The data marketplace itself is a way for people and organizations to share healthcare data with each other and researchers allowing them to analyse the data with ease as well as being expandable by 3rd parties and their own proprietary algorithms and analytics.

The world's first genome NFT marketplace gives access to DNA and health information trade in the form of an NFT or non-fungible token, this supports research on complex issues simply by having genetic sequences online for study. The platform also allows organizations to precisely sell products and services to people who are more at risk of certain diseases and genetic issues.

The marketplace is supported by its open source components from the APIs that are implemented to the tools used to create and organize the system and much like everything else HLTH related is decentralized meaning it can be developed everywhere and anywhere while also encouraging collaboration between parties.

To start the open access journal is a part of HLTH.network media, this is the official media outlet of the whole HLTH system, its focus is entirely on tokenized healthcare, precision medicine, wellness and blockchain markets. There are many channels for this media to be experienced or created, one of which is the open access journal.

The open access journal is a way for research from blockchain related fields to be published within the HLTH.network media section. This research can cover theory or real world applications of blockchain technologies and position papers improving how healthcare is revolutionised with tokenization and blockchain technology.

HLTH media aims to promote large scale community wide discussions to help identify advanced applications of said research, the networks used will serve as hubs of innovation bringing people and companies together to drive blockchain adoption and advancement in healthcare.

The HLTH data hub is a blockchain based system focusing on storing data in an expandable and accessible format much like a ledger, being blockchain the data cannot be altered in any way and by having every transaction being done in blockchain they can all be traced. On top of that the ledger also hides identities so that only the person the data belongs to can access it with full knowledge of who it belongs to.

The ledger half of it can be used by research institutions, universities, hospitals and many other entities within the medical and health sectors. Being decentralized means that anything in the mentioned sectors can access the information from anywhere around the world, this also means that health based industries can operate out of previously underserved markets.

The coin half is used as a way for not only purchasing items through the HLTH.Network site but also as rewards for many things related to HLTH as well as providing purchase tracking and IP protection on produce. It is also able to be used to grant access to special or restricted content

This new system powered by blockchain and focused on data sharing is a new wave in the medical sector, the aim is to provide secure and tailored medical help online along with sharing that information with other medical based institutes to provide better and accurate healthcare and data for research.

HLTH.network and its token are built with openness in mind. The data that will be collected is not owned by any one person, not controlled by any one person. Everyone has access to the data and can add to it.

The HLTH token itself being designed for utility can be used by internal organisations and external suppliers in many different ways including:

Tokenization of genomic information

Non-monetary services

Rewards for relevant content production

A scientific publication infrastructure

And so much more, all serving the interest of improving healthcare.

What is the core foundation of HLTH.network can be defined as is difficult, there are several different angles you could use to understand this. For example it could be defined as the core structure of the program, what makes it work. Or it could be defined as the core principle of why it was created. This is what I'll be exploring.

As you may know HLTH.network was built as a way to securely and easily communicate data between medical sectors and other such things, however it was also built on a non profit ideal. The whole point is to make healthcare accessible and easier in places where they struggle with it, as well as help improve efficiency in research and treating patients.

On top of it being entirely non profit, you’re also able to make donations that can be fully traced. From the moment you make the payment you can see exactly who has it and where it’s been. You would also be able to rest easy knowing that there’s no people in between your donation and who it’s for.

It’s not just the philosophy though. The core can also be defined as what the actual programme is built on, this would be blockchain. I’ll save the details but the general idea on this is primarily security and decentralisation.

One of the many upsides of the HLTH.network is the data marketplace, it allows data to be shared without interference from outside sources. This solves many problems the global research community faces on a daily basis.

To understand how this helps we need to understand the problems facing many researchers today.

Siloed data: Data that is held by a single party and is hard to access by others; this is solved by the open nature of the marketplace, data can be accessed anywhere by anyone.

Cross-border data sharing: Data shared across borders has to go through many hands before it reaches the intended target; this means it can get lost in transit, altered or a plethora of other issues. With the HLTH.network data marketplace this is solved with the decentralization of the data contained on it.

There are many more issues that go into this but there aren’t just fixes, there are genuine improvements as well. With the data market place being built on the back of blockchain it makes the data extremely secure and thus, resistant to tampering; for healthcare professionals the ease of access to data means not only can they prescribe treatments more efficiently but also more suited for the person their helping, and those results can then in turn be used by researchers to help improves treatment options.
