Guard your health

一 Introduction

Overview

Globally, health issues are receiving increasing attention. With the advancement of technology and the development of society, people's focus on health is no longer limited to treating diseases but extends to prevention, health management, and the improvement of overall health levels. The Big Health DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), as an emerging health management model, realizes decentralized management of health data, efficient allocation of health resources, and comprehensive coverage of health services through blockchain technology and smart contracts.

For instance, in some developed countries, due to changes in lifestyle and increased work pressure, mental health problems have gradually emerged. The traditional medical system often has shortcomings such as untimely diagnosis and lack of personalized treatment plans when dealing with these issues. However, the Big Health DAO can integrate multiple resources such as psychiatrists, psychological counselors, and health managers to provide more comprehensive, precise, and timely mental health services for patients.

Project Background

Global health management is currently facing numerous complex problems, among which the uneven distribution of medical resources is particularly prominent. In some regions, there are advanced medical facilities and concentrated medical talents, while in other regions, especially in remote and poverty-stricken areas, people have difficulty accessing basic medical care. This imbalance in distribution leads to significant differences in the accessibility and quality of medical services.

The problem of data silos is also a major challenge in health management. Data among different medical institutions is difficult to share and exchange, and patients' medical records are scattered across various hospitals and clinics. This not only poses difficulties for doctors' diagnosis and treatment but also increases the medical costs and risks for patients.

The lack of systematic health management is another urgent problem to be solved. Often, health management only focuses on disease treatment while ignoring prevention, rehabilitation, and long-term health maintenance. With the accelerating process of population aging, the number of patients with chronic diseases is increasing year by year, and the pressure on medical resources is growing.

In the traditional medical system, poor information flow leads to low medical efficiency. Patients often need to rush between different departments and repeat examinations and diagnoses. The dispersion of medical records makes it difficult for doctors to fully understand the patient's medical history, thereby affecting the treatment effect. In addition, the issue of inadequate protection of patient privacy has frequently raised social concerns. The leakage of personal health information may cause many troubles and risks to patients.

The emergence of blockchain technology, especially the innovative application of Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), has opened up new solutions to these difficult problems. DAO, through smart contracts, can achieve autonomous management, ensure data transparency and immutability, greatly improve the utilization efficiency of medical resources, and strongly promote the innovation and development of health management.

Take diabetes management as an example. The traditional management method may require patients to return to the hospital for follow-up visits regularly, and doctors adjust the treatment plan based on blood glucose monitoring data. However, due to the irregular self-monitoring of patients and incomplete data records, doctors have difficulty accurately grasping the condition. Through the Big Health DAO, patients can use smart blood glucose meters to upload blood glucose data to the blockchain platform in real-time. Doctors can view and adjust the treatment plan at any time. At the same time, smart contracts can automatically remind patients to take medicine and measure blood glucose on time, achieving a systematic and intelligent management of diabetes.

Objectives

Resource Integration

Blockchain technology demonstrates a strong ability to integrate resources in the big health industry, effectively bringing together various scattered resources within the industry to build a unified and efficient platform. By carefully constructing a blockchain network, numerous key participants in the industrial chain, such as medical institutions, drug suppliers, and health management companies, can interact and collaborate seamlessly on the same platform.

The significant advantages brought about by this integration not only greatly simplify the cumbersome process of users accessing resources but also significantly reduce intermediate links, thereby significantly improving the utilization efficiency and value of resources. For example, users no longer need to switch between multiple platforms but can easily make appointments for medical services, purchase health products, or query their health data through a single convenient platform. All these operations are accurately recorded and verified through blockchain technology, effectively ensuring the accuracy and integrity of the data.

Suppose a patient with hypertension previously needed to contact different medical institutions separately for consultations and appointments for examinations, and also needed to purchase medicines at different pharmacies. But on the integrated platform of the Big Health DAO, the patient can complete all these operations in one stop, and all medical records and medicine purchase information are safely and accurately recorded on the blockchain, facilitating doctors to access and adjust the treatment plan at any time.

Value Exchange

BHIT (Blockchain Health Information Technology) enables efficient value exchange within the big health industry, significantly improving the utilization efficiency of resources. In the traditional industrial model, all parties in the industrial chain usually need to rely on complex intermediary institutions for transactions, which not only increases transaction costs but also reduces transaction efficiency. The decentralized nature of blockchain provides the possibility for direct value transfer between all parties.

For example, users can use tokens or digital currencies to purchase health services or products on the platform. Smart contracts can automatically handle the transaction process, ensuring the fairness and transparency of the transaction. This approach not only significantly reduces transaction costs but also greatly enhances the operational efficiency and competitiveness of the entire industrial chain.

Take health checkup services as an example. Previously, users needed to go through cumbersome offline processes and intermediary institutions to purchase health checkup packages, and the payment process was complex and opaque. On the Big Health DAO platform, users can use digital currencies to directly purchase health checkup packages, and smart contracts will automatically handle the payment and service provision process to ensure that users can quickly and fairly enjoy health checkup services.

Information Transparency

Blockchain technology, with its decentralized and immutable characteristics, achieves a high degree of information transparency in the big health industry, significantly increasing users' trust in the platform. In the field of big health, the accuracy and transparency of information are crucial. Using blockchain technology, all health-related data, transaction records, and service information are accurately recorded on the chain, and once these records are generated, they cannot be tampered with.

Users can view their health data and transaction history at any time and anywhere, effectively ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the information. This significant feature of information transparency can effectively prevent data fraud and information leakage, greatly improving users' trust and satisfaction.

For example, in the field of medical aesthetics, patients often have doubts about the safety of the products used by medical institutions and the treatment process. Through the blockchain platform of the Big Health DAO, patients can clearly understand the source and composition of the products used and every detail of the treatment process, thereby eliminating doubts and accepting the treatment with confidence.

Technical Solution

Technical SolutionBHIT is based on blockchain technology, utilizing smart contracts and distributed ledger technology to ensure token security and transparency. The technical solution includes:

Smart Contracts:

Smart contracts, as self-executing contracts, have their protocol terms directly written into the code. This innovative design enables smart contracts to automate the key functions of token issuance, transfer, and destruction without the intervention of intermediary institutions. This automated operation not only significantly reduces the potential risk of human error but also ensures that all transactions are executed strictly in accordance with the prescribed regulations, thereby greatly improving the transparency and efficiency of transactions.

Through smart contracts, BHIT successfully ensures that all operations related to tokens are carried out in a trustless environment. That is to say, all parties can fully trust the preset rules of the system instead of relying on the trust between individuals.

For example, in the application scenario of drug traceability, smart contracts can automatically record the entire process information of drugs from production, circulation to sales. Once there is a quality problem with the drugs, smart contracts can quickly locate the problem link and automatically execute relevant compensation and penalty measures to ensure the effective protection of consumers' rights and interests.

Distributed Ledger:

Distributed ledger technology records all transaction information on a computer network to ensure that every transaction is visible and immutable. The decentralized nature of the ledger means that once a transaction is recorded, it cannot be changed or deleted, providing a strong technical barrier to prevent fraud and unauthorized tampering.

This distributed ledger technology provides users with a comprehensive and transparent view of the entire transaction history, significantly enhances the accountability mechanism, and strongly supports real-time auditing. This high degree of transparency is of crucial significance for maintaining system trust and ensuring compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

For example, in the rental market of medical devices, the distributed ledger can accurately record information such as the start and end time of each rental, the device status, and the rental fee, avoiding disputes caused by information asymmetry and also providing a clear regulatory basis for regulatory authorities.
