Token Economy
Phase1
Individuals are interested in earning tokens. In order to do so they must be willing to digitize their health-related data and make them shareable
Phase 2
Information seekers must acquire tokens in order to compensate individuals for giving access to their data – Existing data holders can enrich their data or earn tokens by making data accessable.
Phase 3
Tokens can be used to redeem Services – Tokens can be used in Loyalty programs
System – How it works
Process of Token Transfer and Data Access
The HIT aligns network participants to achieve common goals — the growth of the network and the appreciation of the HIT token. Based on smart contracts the user/patient can receive tokens corresponding to the “value” of the data that is assigned by the information seeker. The smart contract that is incorporated in the request determines the access to the data and the transfer of token under the agreed conditions.
