PETLIFE — Blockchain in veterinary medicine

6 min readFeb 24, 2019

I am sure that each of us loves some kind of Pets. Someone loves dogs, some cats, and someone does love to have some exotic species. But now we are not about this, but rather about the fact that the surrounding animals are an integral part of our lives.

Problems

However, with the increase in their number there are various kinds of troubles and problems. Which affects not only animals, but we are with you. Because animals are very often carriers of various diseases. At the same time, they can cause not only a mild Allergy, but also become carriers of much more serious diseases, such as rabies, plague and fever. In order to avoid this and not to get under the wave of zoonoses, it is necessary to regularly and timely produce veterinary vaccination and General assistance to an animal that has already fallen ill with a particular disease.

But what if the current time veterinary area is quite underdeveloped. After all, this is due in most cases to the fact that there is a great demand for specialists, but they are sorely lacking. How to be and what to do?! After all, statistics can not be fooled, and it says that only in Europe there are more than 240,000 veterinarians who care about almost 160 million Pets and 340 million cattle. I don’t think you need to explain how many times the number of “patients” more than the number of the specialists themselves.

But there’s more! Due to the low number of specialists in the veterinary sector, the cost of veterinary services is also growing. Just imagine, in Europe alone, veterinary practice is estimated at more than 11 billion euros, and the cost of animal medicines is more than 18 billion euros for 2017. These statistics are impressive and make many experts think about how to regulate this process and how to make the veterinary industry to a higher level, while becoming more accessible to pet owners and farmers, both physically and financially?!

And believe me, many providers are not the first year working on these issues, developing various conceptual programs to solve them. This is the decision we will discuss with you today.

About the project

The project that caught my attention is calledPetlife.

This project is based on modern Blockchain technology and includes a telemedicine marketplace through which specialists will be able to provide remote veterinary care. Moreover, all this will be available to users in real time and will solve the urgent problem with a shortage of specialized assistance.

Project objective

The main goal of the project is a universal Association of specialists not only in Europe, Russia and North America. This approach will allow to unite in one ecosystem a large number of veterinarians, which will be divided into more than 30 veterinary specialties. This will include such common areas as: therapy, surgery, Oncology, radiology and many other specialties necessary to provide all necessary assistance.

This principle of interaction with pet owners and agricultural farmers, will solve a number of problems and contributes to the timely detection of a disease, identifying its symptoms and confirm their suspicions about a disease. The work will be in a two-way mode, thanks to which the owner will be able to send the specialist various medical data (reports) regarding the current state of his animal. This will include various types of tests, x-rays and much more.

Advantages

The most important advantage of Petlife, I believe its schedule, as the platform intends to work 24 hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. As a result, it will bring the market of veterinary services to a new higher level. And due to the fact that the platform is decentralized, transparent and with a high degree of security, the owner can no longer worry about the storage of medical data about his pet, as all these data will be stored in the Blockchain database always.

In this case, the host no longer need to worry to provide timely veterinary care for your beloved pet. Since he no longer has to make an appointment with a doctor and adjust to the work schedule of the specialist. After all, Petlife veterinarian instantly receive your message and even if it is not online, then this message will receive other professionals who will be ready to help you.

Dates and details of the ICO

As you have already understood, if the platform is based on blockchain, it will use not only smart contracts. Thanks to which all the necessary information about consultations, methods of treatment, doctor’s appointment and many other things will be recorded, but also a token thanks to which it will be possible to carry out various kinds of transactions. At the same time, within the framework of Petlife, a billing system for payment for services will be available, that is, you have the right to choose to pay your account through cryptocurrency or Fiat money.

If we talk about the token in more detail, it is called PETL. It is based on Ethereum (ERC-20), it is also a token utility with a total output of 143 million units. Of these, 92 million PETL WILL be allocated for sale. The initial cost of which will be $0.163 for 1 PETL. In total, 4 stages of sales will be allocated, the start of which began with 29.10 2018 and will last until 29.04.2009.

The distribution of tokens is as follows:

Conclusion

I would like to note not only the high level of preparation of this project, but also the fact that Petlife is an officially registered company and has its own personal identification number. At the same time, it knows its strengths, has a clear strategy for its development and understands its advantages over current competitors.

I think this kind of projects is very necessary, as the world of Pets needs highly effective assistance not only from their owners, but also from qualified professionals who are in real time has the ability to provide the necessary veterinary care.

However, do not forget that in my review published only a small part of the information about the project, the rest is designed for your further independent study. So if you do not care about the fate of your Pets, I suggest you study this project in more detail. All links to Petlife’s official resources will be available below.
