Healthereum Announces STO

The global health care rewards platform Healthereum announced the start of its STO this week. The firm seeks funding to further development on its blockchain-based patient mobile application.  The move coincides with the release of two Beta products, HELIO, and HELIO(S), which could help drastically reduce inefficiencies found in current healthcare systems.

HELIO BETA

The HELIO platform utilizes incentivized utility tokens called Healthereum Tokens (HLTH) to create more communication between healthcare practitioners and their patients. Patients receive tokens for their participation in certain tasks and activities such as surveys, reviews, or verifying an appointment. All of these tasks are critical to the improvement of healthcare systems.

Biometrics

Also, the Dapp allows users to verify their identity via biometric authentication.  This is a critical feature as it allows users to access a host of sensitive information while not putting the information at risk of theft. The HELIO app also allows for additional security such as pin codes to be used.

Advanced Features

HELIO combines a multitude of helpful healthcare information into one easy to access Dapp. Here, users can locate items such as their Emergency Identification Card (EID). This holds all relevant information in case of a life threating scenario including your blood type and first contact. HELIO also features a section for all of your insurance information.

The Power of Patient Feedback

Surveys help practitioners improve their services but are highly disregarded by patients who see little to no reason to fill them out. This platform could reverse that trend and bring some much-needed communication back into the industry. By incentivizing patient participation, all parties gain valuable insight.

Blockchain Rating System

HELIO permits patients to rate their experience and practitioner. Since the patient is verified via the blockchain, you only have real patient reviews. Currently, the industry contends with a number of influencing factors including paid reviewers. This leaves clients at a disadvantage.

Appointment Verification

Missed appointments are another point of lost revenue within the health care industry. Healthereum wants to incentivize confirmations. Users can earn tokens which can go towards discounted healthcare by confirming their appointments the day of. The platform provides both practitioners and patients with an easier alternative than the status quo.

Healthereum STO

Interested investors can purchase HLTH tokens through the company’s STO for $0.10 each. Each token represents a single non-voting unit according to the company's website. The company states that it intends to list its security tokens on regulated exchanges pending SEC approval. All tokens will be distributed upon the completion of the ICO and cannot be transferred from the original owner for the one year. HLTH Tokens are ERC-20 tokens and can be stored in any ERC-20 compliant wallet.

Healthereum Aims for the Future

Healthereum wants to leverage blockchain technology to eliminate a host of issues currently plaguing the healthcare system. The platform's focus on micro level inefficiencies could greatly improve care delivery and patient accountability. If successful, your next doctor visit might require you to download a Dapp.
