INTRODUCTION

One of the most impressive fast adopting technology of this era is the blockchain. Its vast importance can't be overemphasized.
The core idea of the blockchain is the decentralization of data such that every PC connected to the network gets to save a copy securely and change free. Its much used in keeping records of trade transactions between two users hiding the identity of the users.

This technology has evolved from only keeping of transactions records as seen in the exchanges to storage of huge data. The fintech has the most use cases of this. People aren't comfortable with the security risk and cost-effective the centralized way of keeping records posses and wishes to seek safe haven in the blockchain which addresses all these challenges easily. Although it's not clear where the use cases of the blockchain will land for now many business sectors like security, aviation, shipping, agriculture are benefiting from it. An most recently, nations/countries are applying it in their governance.

The challenges the health sector is facing are not too different from other sectors using the blockchain. CURES has a convincing reason for bringing the healthcare on the blockchain and making it accessible to everyone it. The dedication and experience of the team both medically and technologically(The blockchain) assures the project of an exciting ending.

THE PRODUCTS

CURES envisions to make healthcare services seamlessly easy, accessible to anyone whiles giving the power of data used in the hands of the owners(patients). The team uses a strategy dubbed The Six Pillars Of Cures. I'll describe in brief how this strategy will affect the success of CURES.

Electronic Health Records. The correct keeping of medical records can be beneficial to both the patient and the physician. For the patient, the record can describe one’s history and medication plan in an easily-accessible way. For the physician, it can give support about the accuracy of that treatment plan. A good medical records keeping system can be the difference between life and death if someone needs to check a test, a medication, or make a quick medical decision.
Medical records keeping have evolved from paper base to a centralized electronic method of record keeping. Changes made in a patient's medical records has been a challenge for these two methods. CURES choose the blockchain because it's immutable.

The HAPP Store. The platform intends to feature different health apps to users in order to help them better their overall well-being. Currently, the network has the Vision – an app for Colourblind’ ready-to-be-purchased. The app has already been approved by various medical, educational and academic institutions. It has gained institutional support from globally reckoned bodies including Ministries of Education and the European Parliament. This will also allow developers to build any health-related app on it

Health Assurance. CURES platform will allow both specific and generic contracts concepts, encouraging medical service providers to offer their contracts for a discount, in return for payment now, thereby creating added value, making both patient and medical service providers the opportunity to buy and sell these contracts in order to maximize their scare resources.

Charitable Trust Fund. Money has been a challenge in the fewer privilege cities and towns preventing the sick from visiting the hospital. The life of every human is important to CURES, in as much as curing. A separate legal entity will be funded with 5% of the token supply and voluntary contributions by token users. The funds will be used to assist any charitable projects aimed at improving world healthcare in deprived regions, project selection in a transparent way against a set of clearly defined criteria.

Trading Platform. T help better the health industry, even more, CURES will create a platform that will allow manufacturers to sell items directly to patients and wholesale to hospitals, clinics and other traders, eliminating the middleman, helping reduce costs.

Marketplace and Trust Review Platform. Sometimes patients receive substandard healthcare from fake healthcare practitioners due to false given. What if reviews about medical service providers(MSP) is actually linked to a real patient of that MSP. CURES makes it possible with blockchain. Patients will no longer be lead just by recommendations but encouraged to browse and search for medical service providers globally, ensuring security, cost-effectiveness, nurturing perfect competition through a decentralized system.

A successful exercution of all strategies will push CURES much closer to it success. This, in no doubt, has been one of the promising and serious project I have come seen this year.
