As we come to the end of the OSTA3 challenge and present here our POC
for Lightworker MD network. We are only just beginning our journey of
change, creating a platform that promotes disease prevention, health,
and wellbeing at the forefront of our mission.
1. What problem does your project solve for and what was the user need for creating your token economy?
2. What was your key goal behind doing the challenge?
I have often been inspired by a famous quote from my late Grandfather
Jay Otto Garland M.D. who was a Family Practitioner in Michigan in the
1940’s. ” Don’t wait for someone to do something for you get up and do
it your d..mn self” As Physicians it is important now more than ever for
us to be unapologetic and solution driven to the problems we see on a
daily basis in today’s healthcare system. Patients and practitioners are
often caught in a maze of nonsensical and at times harmful practices.
Such as prescribing addictive narcotics for pain control while unable to
consider a safe evidenced-based alternative such as Acupuncture because
it’s a non covered expense. We must not be silent but instead proactive
leaders for advocating change in a broken healthcare system. A goal,
passion, and vision behind Lightworker MD network.
3. How did you plan for the design for your wallet feature? Without
a coding background ease of functionality was a major objective. The
API’s are easy to implement with the integration of JAVA and Javascript
applications. Being able to show users their token balances, a viewable
ledger with all their transactions was exciting to see how easy it was
to accomplish.
4. What did you like about using these API’s? First and foremost I
liked the quick adaptability of the API’s, for example, obtaining user
information was simplified. The wallet and ledger API allowed us to get
streamlined data with reduced coding. As we forge ahead with
infrastructure and adaptation of our network the ease of onboarding our
members will be crucial. The simplicity of the system will allow us to
focus on the core of our mission.
5. How did you plan for the design for your wallet features?
In designing the new wallet features, we’ve learned although a basic
knowledge of coding is needed focusing on the user and how future
integration might be adapted should be the focal point. A system needs
to have it’s user’s in mind when designing their infrastructure so that
it creates a system that is efficient and easily adaptable. With the
burden of overdependence on electronic medical records creating
simplification for users rather than complexity was important.
We would like to extend our thanks and sincere gratitude to the OST team for the opportunity to be a part of your extraordinary vision for innovative change. We look forward to partnering with you and believe tokenization can bring positive creativity and enhanced engagement to a platform promoting preventative health.
