Please describe your proposed solution.
Immunify Life will deliver and pilot a healthcare ecosystem to track and manage people living with HIV who are currently not taking medication. The goal is improving compliance with their treatment and ultimately saving lives. Doctors and other healthcare workers, using the Immunify.life software will create a patient record, which is updated over time with every visit. Data such as id verification, medical history, drug treatment and outcomes are captured in real time. Patients will be offered the chance to receive rewards, They have their identify verified, provide consent to participate and then receive Immunify.life crypto rewards (triggered by the Healthcare worker) each month after meeting defined treatment goals. Patients receive rewards through the IMM patient app. The pilot in Kenya will be a controlled supervised clinical trial conducted in association with a local university (MMUST) and academics from Cambridge University.
Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.
The crypto incentive reward will act directly to encourage (lapsed) HIV positive patients to take their medication.
What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?
- Fluctuations in token prices during study could result in inconsistent rewards and potentially confuse results
Funds earmarked for token rewards will be used to purchase USDC or similar stable tokens at the start of the study and progressively drawn down to be deployed as IMM reward tokens as required .
- Difficulty in recruiting adequate numbers of HIV patients, who have stopped treatment
Immuify will closely monitor patient recruitment rates . If recruitment is slower than planned further clinics can be trained and utilized to broaden the footprint of the study,
