Doctor Smart Outsmarts the Healthcare Problems in Third World Countries

Health is wealth, and yet in the real world, quality health services are accessible only by wealthy people. Prices of consultations, laboratory tests, and other medical services are too high for the low-income individuals to afford. This especially holds true for third world countries where the income gap can sometimes be too wide and the healthcare providers are more profit-oriented than patient-oriented. Besides the low disposable income, some people may also be disadvantaged in terms of connections. A farmer may not know any good oncologist when he badly needs one.

Thanks to the new blockchain technological breakthrough -- Doctor Smart -- the existing impartiality in the healthcare industry is about to be changed.

What is Doctor Smart?

Doctor Smart is a blockchain-based healthcare and wellness management ecosystem that combines two other equally powerful technologies – artificial intelligence (AI) and telemedicine. Ultimately, the goal and long-term vision of Doctor Smart is to provide quality, affordable, and timely medical and wellness services to every patient in the world, thus increasing life expectancy and quality living.

Telemedicine allows online consultations with doctors at any time of the day, so long as there is an available physician that suits a patient’s medical needs. Because of Doctor Smart, an online platform, a student in Africa with a persistent cough now has the option to consult with a pulmonary specialist in Australia for a reasonably lower rate compared to a physical consultation given the geographical distance. This is truly revolutionary especially for 3rd world countrymen who may have diseases that require expert care.

Artificial intelligence in healthcare is a growing field of research. Nowadays, imaging test results are being interpreted by neural networks, which are highly accurate even in detecting melanoma, a dangerous type of cancer. The continued development of AI is beneficial since practically speaking about 1 in every 5 patients is incorrectly diagnosed by human specialists. Doctor Smart, in tandem with AI technology providers, will help reduce human errors and prevent false negatives in results interpretation.

Who benefits from using Doctor Smart?

The healthcare industry is a tripartite network of patients, doctors, and insurance companies. Doctor Smart, as a holistic healthcare ecosystem, benefits each participant, so it is indeed a game changer. Even the clinics and hospitals, which are often intermediaries, benefit from Doctor Smart by means of referrals.

Patients: Patients are now empowered through Doctor Smart. They can avail medical services at reasonable prices, as low as $7, without the long queue and heavy paperworks. Plus, they get to choose their physician, keep all their personal medical records, conveniently ask for a second opinion, and rate their experience. Yes, besides an accreditation process, doctors, no matter how popular or intelligent they are, will be subjected to patient rating which will be visible to the community. Doctor Smart recognizes that customer care should be measured both in terms of technical and behavioral aspects. This feedback mechanism increases transparency and avoids any form of abuse, including psychological and behavioral.

With regards to wellness, Doctor Smart gamifies user experience by offering different levels which certainly is a fun progressive way of embracing vitality.

Doctors: With a global market, doctors will significantly increase their income. Although the Doctor Smart rates are lower, registered doctors have the number advantage. Yet, more than the income, Doctor Smart enables doctors to better serve their patients by automating the administrative tasks for them. They only need to focus on their patients and how to better assist them. In the traditional setup, the medical records of patients are segmented, thus preventing the present doctor to form a holistic picture of the patient’s case. Remember that the seemingly trivial incidents of coughing, fainting, or weight loss can underlie a more serious medical condition, which can manifest at a later period. So record keeping and doctor collaboration are both important, and Doctor Smart resolves these by keeping an online database. The information are immutable and accessible by concerned parties. More so, Doctor Smart has the capability to track medicine intake to avoid lapses and wrong purchase. This makes the treatment more effective for the patients.

Insurance companies: There are countries where people are not reading-oriented; these are talking cultures that rely more on verbal information than written information. More so in less developed countries, most people may not understand the hifalutin words used in incredibly long insurance contracts in such a way that the patients end up being disadvantaged. They expect more, only to receive less because of the fine prints. Doctor Smart addresses this problem by embedding smart contracts into the system. The language is fairly easy to understand and the system automates the fulfilment of other conditions, so the application becomes easier to use.

Does Doctor Smart have a token? If so, how to participate in its sale?

Yes, the platform is token-based in order to achieve frictionless transactions. Bounded by a noble mission, Doctor Smart fulfills its promised services through the Doctor Smart Time Token (DSTT). All services will be availed through DSTT, which is convertible to fiat and other cryptocurrencies. That is to say, the patient can still pay using dollars, euros, or other fiat currencies and the system converts them into DSTT. Likewise, doctors may opt to convert their earned DSTT into other currencies.
