Blockchain :: Real World Uses - Health

in #blockchain6 years ago (edited)

Decentralised Technology to the Rescue

Blockchain is quickly becoming a real world opportunity to create new ways of doing things. I've spent some time investigating the technology along with other emerging tech for various reasons. Firstly because I'm insatiably curious and like to know how things work.
What they actually do and how we can all benefit from them is of huge interest to me.

So, along my investigations of what Blockchain actually IS, I've also discovered many ways in which we can use it better. When you read articles about Blockchain in the industry news the use cases are always for corporates and big pharma or banks or the obscenely rich getting richer.

Opportunities created by Blockchain

There are amazing ways in which us, the little people, can use Blockchain to make our lives better. We can earn more money, we can keep control of our money and identity and we can create passive incomes for ourselves whilst engaging in our current occupations.

Smart Contracts

We can alleviate the stresses of 'he said / she said' style conflicts in business and our personal lives by using smart contracts. Smart contracts are the diamond in the rough where a computed contract is created that cannot be manipulated, changed or refuted.

Health :

My opinion on what Health is differs to many who spend a monthly fee on insurances and paying off their hospital debts or pharmacy bills. My understanding of Health is that the way in which we eat directly impacts our health.
What we eat will determine our energy levels, immune coping capabilities as well as our brain function, alertness and of course our physical capabilities.

Our body is like a car. It's all good and well putting in enough petrol but if you're not taking care of the water and oil you'll be experiencing car trouble before too long. The type of fuel you put in can either improve performance or damage the vehicle. For example if you've got a petrol engine and you put diesel in....
The consequences are a damaged engine and potentially having to replace it in it's entirety.

Your health should be your primary focus but alas what with the stresses of life it seems that taking responsibility and ownership for our own health just doesn't happen. It's easier to say 'the doctor says' than it is to take control by ensuring that you do actually lead a healthier life.

The onset of Blockchain and, of course, the internet gives us the ability to research what's wrong with us, how we can fix it by eating healthier and how, in fact to grow our own veggies without having to have a massive plot of land, so that we may have control over our food from start to finish.

Impossible, you say, for all of us to grow our own food, we'll never have enough time what with all the other activities of life!
Well, then, be sick. Be unhealthy and be at the mercy of your doctor and whatever medications he prescribes for you to destroy other parts of your body.
(Read the contra-indications on the leaflet in the medications, creams, lotions, hair dye... etc etc)

Every chemical you put into your body is doing damage. It's a fact.
The best way to health is to remove toxins from your system, naturally. Yes, nature is the only place you should be going for health.

I've set out a system whereby we integrate natural health into schools, educating children, teachers and then parents to the benefits of simple, traditional and natural ways to be healthy. Whilst supporting this with micro-entrepreneurs creating the products, growing and distributing, cooking these amazingly healthy products direct to the community. Upholding further healthy lifestyle choices.

Blockchain Mirco-Entrepreneurial Opportunities

The system works in such a way that the learning of the teachers is applied in an online system/platform where they will, like with Steemit, earn rewards for their interactions. This is a supplemental income for the teachers that should not be taxed nor limited thanks to their continued dedication to the education of our future society.

The health properties of Probiotics such as the 'Kefir' Organisms are largely underestimated in their ability to assist in building immune, bones, teeth, muscles and more.

If you have an interest in how we use Kefir, Blockchain and the Internet to uplift and educate as well as make healthy living an integral part of our society going forward, please leave a comment, upvote and resteem.

I am with you on insatiably curious about the Blockchain, i am in the same boat and see the possibilities that Blockchain tech will open up for us, world wide! No longer will one entity control the data flow, instead power will be shifted to the many.

From what i gather, you are talking about using Blockchain to monitor the supply chains, from producer to consumer and that is one of the biggest breakthrough right now, if im not mistaken i think IBM partnered with Maersk recently to trial this, which is great!

Another area, as you say, is within healthcare, i own my medical record, that is stored on the Blockchain. When i am sick, no matter where i currently am in the world, can give access to those records to the doctor i am seeing, knowing that the content has not and cannot be tampered with!

Hello and yes, supply chain is a huge part of the cogs of society that needs to be completely updated and what better way than with Blockchain's transparency, authenticity and trust values.
Yes, Maersk and IBM are in the process of testing this however their system is more intensely centered on the shipping and logistics side.
The Florachain application sets a new communication stream from grower through to consumer. The benefits to the grower are an increased price per stem, they get a pre-order capability and can compete with larger growers if their supply is substantial enough. There are various failing in the current system one wouldn't even consider (as with all industries) which have been ironed out by FloraChain.

I'm very excited to be involved in the industry because of the immediate benefits to everyone.
In health we need to be able to control our medical records, whether or not we see doctors or how we choose to live is up to us and nobody should have access to any information without our permission.
As global citizens, I too want to be able to travel anywhere knowing I can see medical advice and with a touch of a button the Dr gets all my info.

There are other areas of health - i.e. eating well to be healthy - a mindset we can instill with a conscioius reward system for the poorest. That's #Pi ;-)

So good to e-meet another crypto and Blockchain champion!
