Please describe your proposed solution.
BioDao has been developing a Web3 version of the Healthnexxus personalized global health EcoSystem. This platform invites participation from the developer communities to open the limited personal engagement in the development and effective deployment of sensitive verifiable health interactions. The Inukshuk Health Wallet™ is part one of a three part platform. Using the IHW™ as the basis for the decentralized storage of historic and current information, a new era of personalized health interaction is born.
BioDao’s decentralized Inukshuk Health wallet will offer individuals real time collection of health data, accessible in the palm of your hand, while ensuring interoperability with standards-based health systems. It will also allow individuals to build their own records from existing health agencies where permitted.
The IHW™ records all activity associated with sensor inputs, and when enabled will formally allow those wishing to participate in research, clinical trials and studies of chronic health conditions to reward to individual.
Steps two and three are subject to separate proposals for Catalyst funding. They integrate the concept of a Health Digital Identity for the individual.
Recruitment of specific health factors using the IHW can be done using only biographical information so identity can be preserved.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
The proposal is designed to address the challenge of decentralization and its relationship to the Cardano Blockchain.(Mainnet). In health informatics a constant theme is the preservation of identifiable personal data.
Our approach extends the limits of decentralization of personal health information by generating individual IHW™ which can be located in a variety of user-selected environments. Each is independently created and has links the individual agrees on.
This approach serves to ensure the data framework is truly decentralized. Individuals can specify the who, what, when and how the IHW™ can release information yet preserves a record of immutability of action and not the data itself.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
BioDao has access to frameworks and data previously developed for the Web2 platform which was Healthnexxus. Healthnexxus was sold in 2008. Leveraging our CSO’s undertaking to convert the test model from C++ to Haskel was undertaken. The single biggest risk is scalability.
The proposal includes trialling with an increasing number of users beginning with 25, then 250 and capping at a targeted 12,500 users.
Acquisition of additional engineering expertise with knowledge in Haskel, Plutus and AtalaPrism.
As the key function of the IHW is to generate decentralized individual wallets the risk is minimized as each individual will act in a random manner in selecting the location of that wallet thus minimizing the scalability risk.
