Study researches blockchain rewards and their effect in HIV/AIDS patients

• immunify.life and the Kenyan University Must carry out a study to determine whether the blockchain technology of the HIV/AIDS crisis in Kenya can benefit.
• The 5-year study will reward HIV/AIDS patients and health service providers with signs of positive behavior.

The Kenyan University, the Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMust) and blockchain-supported health ecosystem Immunify.Life are entering into a partnership to test a new innovative application for blockchain and cryptocurrency. As announced on November 1st, the two will carry out a groundbreaking five -year study in order to examine the effect of symbolic incentives on the health results of people with HIV/AIDS in the country.

The two have already received study permits from an ethics committee and the national commission. Research will begin in the Kakamega district of Keny at the end of the year before it is extended to other regions of the country.

Immunify.Life will supply with blockchain technology for collecting and analyzing HIV/AIDS patient data. The Native ERC 20 token of the platform, IMM, is provided by the projects of the project (NGOs and government institutions) and used as a treatment incentive.

These sponsors have found health-positive behavior in connection with HIV/AIDS patients. This includes "taking a prescribed dose of antibiotics against tuberculosis" and "returning to the clinic for examination and treatment". Must and immunify.life will evaluate whether patients who receive symbolic incentives for these health -promoting behaviors have better treatment results.

From the sample size of 600 patients, half of the half get symbolic incentives, the other half (control experiment). The patients are then monitored over a period of six months, during which they receive active monthly treatment and surveillance.

In addition, patients benefit financially from the sale of anonymized medical data at research institutions and the like.

Blockchain helps to solve the HIV/AIDS health supply

Patients who participate in the blockchain project receive health IDs in the form of non-fungal tokens (NFTS). These contain important medical data such as vaccination cards. This data is then transferred to a digital register in order to enable medical specialists in medical specialists and real-time data access. Blockchain use as immunity. Life CEO Guy Newing notes, enables the real time recording of critical data. In addition, all data records are provided with time stamps and secured to prevent hacking or changes.

In addition, the blockchain system reward health personnel for positive behavior. This includes "the correct filling out of advisory protocols, ordering a certain number of tests on tuberculosis or completing medical training".
