What is NHCT?

NHCT is an app-based healthcare solution with over 75,000 users in the past 3 years. It has a proven AI-based recommendation engine which provides the best course of action for a preventive cure based on the risk profile of a user.

Health coaches play a key role in the NHCT ecosystem. The Health Coach assesses an individual’s health using point of care diagnostics. Health Coaches, pioneered by NHCT (NanoHealth), are registered medical and wellness practitioners. They are the first level of data validators within the NHCT ecosystem. The result of their health assessment is a color-coded health report that will allow users to seek appropriate care and develop a continuous plan. This helps to create health dashboards, that can be used to map the health of an organization or an individual.

NHCT has also created a network of Health & Wellness service providers and payers to provide a complete set of services in Health & Wellness to its users.

How does the NHCT app work?

The NHCT app is quite simple to use. Once the app is installed a user can sign-in using their google, facebook or an E-mail ID. Once a user signs in they are automatically assigned to a health coach. They can interact with their coach using the app or through a call. An advantage of using the NHCT app is that it can be synchronized with Google fit.

The NHCT app enables users to book appointments with doctors, dietitians and track all this without requiring manual input. A user can also have a full body check up with authenticated NHCT healthcare providers. All this is possible while maintaining absolute data integrity and security by the usage of the blockchain technology. Blockchain enables a distributed network thus a hacking attack is close to impossible. The app also facilitates a common payment method using NHCT’s own token system.

3-Tier Token Model

Most marketplaces employ the use of tokens to reward users. NHCT has incorporated this strategy to encourage users to earn tokens and spend them. The NHCT ecosystem is built on a unique three-tier token structure. The three tokens are NHCT, Warma, and Wawa. Each token represents a specific level of verified activity.

  1. Wawa: Wawa is the base token in the NHCT Ecosystem. A Wawa is earned by a person’s calorie burn (proof of care). The payout rate of Wawa will be customized for every individual based on their health condition.
  2. Warma: Warma requires social proof of activity and is the second level token in the NHCT’s token structure. It is earned via community-verified activities like marathons, soccer matches, and other such activities.
  3. NHCT: The third token in the ecosystem is NHCT. NHCT is the premium token and the prime currency within the ecosystem. It can be used to pay for services like gym and spa memberships, lab tests, health check-ups, etc. from the various listed medical and wellness providers. NHCT will be the token that will be primarily listed on cryptocurrency exchanges.

Users can only convert Wawa and Warma to NHCT on maintaining their health (verified by a medical service provider). If a user continuously improves their health, they can convert their fitness rewards to NHCT, which can be used in the ecosystem in exchange for health goods and services. NHCT can further be earned by participating in clinical trials or by uploading medical data that is authenticated by certified medical practitioners.

How does the NHCT app benefit a normal citizen?

Using the NHCT app, users are incentivized to stay fit and healthy. All they need to do is enter data which will, in turn, provide authentic insights to the doctors with the access granted by the users.

Users can spend their NHCT tokens at any partner Health and Wellness Providers within the

ecosystem. Some business where the NHCT Tokens can be redeemed are:

  1. Hospital/clinical consultation
  2. Medicine and Refills
  3. Gyms and Fitness Spas
  4. Medical Diagnostics and Examination
  5. Continuous Care and Home Services
  6. Wellness Stores
  7. Insurance Partners

NHCT’s greatest focus in the next 3 years would be to build an Ecosystem via — partnerships across corporate organizations, medical, health, and wellness service providers, insurance providers, primary care clinics and governments. NHCT will also be working with developers of Health and Wellness apps to give users access to their ecosystem via simple API integrations like fitness tracker, diet tracker, and medicine tracker apps can plug the NHCT incentivization in their app for their users. This can help provide immediate access to a large user base and the users get real-world incentives for being healthy.

  • EmpowerLabs — augmented gaming ecosystem in over60 countries
