The clinical value of patients in the life cycle has not been fully exploited and utilized. For clinicians, every patient is a high-value clinical research case. The doctor will record the patients’ case files during their stay in the hospital and can load the case for research at any time. After the patient leaves the hospital, the medical team still has the obligation to conduct a follow-up visit to update the patient’s recovery and introduce the medical order information. However, due to the frequency and effectiveness of follow-up, it is difficult to effectively mine and utilize the value of the case at this stage. In addition, due to the centralized management of patient case files, researchers in other hospitals or regions would not know and cannot obtain the file information they need. Undoubtedly, this has brought many obstacles to the research and development of medicine.

Patients experience pain and also pay a high cost. Patients not only experience pain but also worry about the high medical costs. Especially the price of surgery, drugs, or medical devices outside the insurance has forced many patients to take conservative treatment. The patient can not get more effective treatment and eventually died because of the deterioration of the disease. Although clinical research projects usually recruit patients to participate in clinical trials and pay participants compensation. However, most patients still do not know trial information or are unable to participate actively, so cannot maximize their clinical value. This situation makes both doctors and patients unable to maximize the value, and also hinders the development of medical science.

There’s a way to enable an approach that patients help patients to obtain more value for themselves.

Solutions

Healthy topic chat: Encourage community users (referred to as “users”) to discuss health-related content with each other. Users include ordinary users, (licensed) doctors and nurses, health-related institutions, biotech professionals, pharmacists, etc. Patients in the community ask health-related questions and get feedback from others. This scenario is very simple, just like you and your neighbors are discussing the recent high temperature or flu, and what drugs to prepare to prevent or treat common diseases that may occur. Meanwhile, Users in the healthcare industry also could talk about any topics whether you need research resources, patients for trials, equipment, reagents, etc.

Health data mint: It provides a functional platform for patients to decide whether to contribute health information. If patients want to benefit from their own health information, they must first upload data and mint on the chain.

NFT staking and transaction: Provide users with a stake and loan features on the blockchain. Users can mint their own, family members’ or friends’ real health information into NFTs on the platform. Diseases on the platform are audited and classified according to ICD11 standard. In addition, users can decide whether to stake NFTs to the liquidity pool. If staking is needed, users could stake the minimum amount of tokens and NFTs to obtain relevant income during the period after the platform evaluates the value of NFTs information and disease classification. The income would include: the interest generated from staking, the income obtained from leasing NFTs to individuals (such as individual researchers) (within the lease term), and the income obtained from leasing NFTs to institutions (such as universities, drug research and development institutions, etc.) (within the lease term).

Patient interview: When any part of demander need to further understand the patient’s detailed condition, connect with the patient online is available. The interviewed results need to be minted as a part of the patient’s assets. The demander should pay the patient by using the deposited funds. At the same time, the platform considers rewarding the patient and the demander with certain incentives (such as token).
