AIR-CLINIC was born out of the dire need for people to get easy access to healthcare globally. At a time like this when the blockchain technology is positively influencing everything, its only proper that it touches on healthcare delivery as well. There has been too much gap in providing a concrete workable system that will generate real value for everyone regardless of location.

Frequently encoutered problems in the health sector include:

× Location and distance issues,
× High cost of healthcare
× Poor collaboration between health workers
× Slow hospital processes and bureaucracy
× Non-involvement of the general public for healthcare delivery
× Difficult methods of payment etc

---

Now with the advent of the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN, we will be able to bypass those problems to provide healthcare that is:

✓ Quick
✓ Globally Accessible
✓ Available 24/7
✓ Affordable
✓ Involves the general public (health-enthusiasts) by providing benefits
✓ Encourages increased collaboration between all the sectors of the health team
✓ Provides an easy method of payment
✓ Promotes health on the STEEM BLOCKCHAIN hence increasing the value of STEEM (and many more...)
✓ Infact we are going to make hospitals cool again.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE THESE?

We hope to achieve these gagantuan tasks via 2 major methods which will be enumerated below:

1. ONLINE METHOD:

• This is our immediate/short-term goal.

• We have set-up the AIR-CLINIC Discord Server to handle the affairs of the clinic (for now).

• The categories of people that we need on the server are :

  • HEALTH-WORKERS: doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical laboratory scientists, optometrists, dentists etc.
  • HEALTH-ENTHUSIASTS: these are people who want to learn about health on a daily basis.
  • CLIENTS: these are the people who are seeking consultation for different health problems.
  • STUDENTS: individuals studying health-related courses are welcome to participate, connect with each other and get mentorship from their senior colleagues.
  • SPONSORS: they are also welcome to give financial and moral support to the community.

BENEFITS OF THE ONLINE METHOD:

• Clients will be able to get quick, accessible and affordable consultations from anywhere around the world.
• We provide health tips to health-enthusiasts for daily healthy living.
• Our team of qualified health-workers are available around the clock.
• This also fosters collaboration between health workers.
• Students can also participate and get mentored.
• We run a referral system that will encourage health-enthusiasts and the general public to seek healthcare.
  

2. OFFLINE METHOD:

• This is our long-term goal

• We are partnering with @ejemai of @stach to decentralize the medical offline.
• We propose to build a hospital that will also have a Steemit hub.
• It will serve as a link between our online activities and the real world.
• We will be able to collaborate with other healthcare facilities to foster healthcare.
• People can PAY WITH STEEM for healthcare.
• THIS WILL BE EXPANCIATED FURTHER LATER.

WE ARE OPEN TO MORE PARTNERSHIPS, SPONSORSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!
