Neo Medical Diagnostics in the Ghetto

[grantshares-dapp]

Abstract

Health is Wealth, but self medication is a common practice in Nigeria which often result to reduced health outcomes and economic waste, with over 52% of Nigerians involved in it.

Neo Medical Diagnostics in the Ghetto is a 5 days free medical check-up event for the Jakpa community in Effurun, where patients will be issued NFT as ticket pass to benefit from the programme. This will be an awesome drive towards mass adoption of N3 and also an opportunity to show how the blockchain can be used to incentivize altruistic events.

Proposal Information

Description

Self Medication is a common practice in Nigeria which often result to reduced health outcomes, increased antimicrobial resistance and economic waste. Self-medication may also impact on the health of individuals negatively by way of toxicological and pharmacological risks associated with the improper use of medicines. Nigeria already had a high prevalence number before the COVID-19 pandemic, varying between 52.1 and 92.3%, thus there is the need for regular medical check ups.

Neo Medical Diagnostics in the Ghetto will provide NFT incentives, to serve as an opportunity for people living below the poverty line of less than 5 USD per day to access free Medical Check-Ups using NFT as ticket pass to benefit from the programme. This event will be held for 5 days in a ghetto community called Jakpa in Effurun, Delta state of Nigeria. This 5 days activities will be done using the CodeUp Diagnostics and Laboratory Center located in Effurun with 2 medical doctors on ground.

Our goal is to encourage regular medical check-ups, and attend to 100 patients within this 5 days. The core dependencies of this project is NFT, Smart Contracts, Medical Laboratory and Personnel. This event will attract the young and elderly people, as it will be an awesome drive towards mass adoption of N3 by a cross section of different age brackets, also it is an opportunity to show how the blockchain can be used to incentivize altruistic events.

All patients for the 5 days events will be shown how to create their wallet on OneGate towards holding their NFT ticket pass. The NFT will be developed using the NEP-11 Standard (https://github.com/neo-project/proposals/blob/master/nep-11.mediawiki) and it will be open sourced to the NEO community.

Features

• Token transfer is not allowed.
• Each NFT will belong to an epoch. Every medical check-ups event starts a new epoch.
• Only epoch admin (Medical Laboratory Personnel) can mint NFT to an address.
• An epoch can only start when 50 $NEO (this will be an adjustable parameter) is deposited to the contract address.
• Special token transfers are allowed for 24 hours when the NFT owner can provide proof to the epoch admin that wallet belong to them.
• Allows only a maximum balance of one per epoch for every address.

Motivation

CodeUp Diagnostics and Laboratory Center have done similar free community medical services in the past but without integrating the blockchain technology, also we intend to encourage regular medical check-up by Nigerians but with the application of blockchain, towards scaling the project with Neo.

Goals

Our goals are:

1. To provide opportunity for those living below poverty line to access free medical check-up
2. To reduce self medication and encourage regular medical check-up
3. To solve real life challenges with the Neo blockchain.
4. To onboard more users into the Neo ecosystem.

wow...projects like this will have lasting impact on the lives of the people in the ghetto community. Nice initiative.

[csmuller]

Even though honorable cause, i think that from the perspective of Neo such events have a very short lived impact on the ecosystem, if at all. I'd say that it is not GrantShares' goal to fund health events. Adding NFTs to such an event doesn't add anything to the actual goal of the event which is focused on healthcare.

[ogasky]

I think NFTs can also be use in healthcare solutions as means for patients booking and doctors prescriptions in medical organizations. thus this kind of project can be extended upon by the organizers beyond the event itself to benefit the Neo ecosystem and the public health-wise. Thank you
