OrdinalsGoods for Healthcare & Insurance Services

Tokenizing healthcare services via NFTs and leveraging blockchain technologies presents a novel approach to some long-standing issues in the healthcare sector. Here are some problems this approach could potentially resolve:

1. Funding & Capital Challenges: Traditional methods of raising capital for healthcare institutions often involve layers of bureaucracy, high-interest rates, or dilution of ownership. Direct funding through token sales provides an alternative avenue for financial inflow without the drawbacks of conventional fundraising methods.
2. Inefficiencies & Administrative Overhead: The bureaucratic red tape often associated with healthcare financing can be cumbersome and costly. By eliminating intermediaries and using a transparent blockchain system, administrative processes can be streamlined, and costs can be reduced.
3. Patient Engagement & Loyalty: Retaining patients and ensuring they stay loyal to a particular healthcare provider or network can be challenging. By offering token holders lifetime utility and rewards, clinics can foster stronger long-term relationships and ensure continued patronage.
4. Access to Global Services: Many patients face barriers when seeking healthcare services outside their immediate locale due to logistical or financial constraints. The token system provides a way for holders to access services globally, breaking down geographical barriers.
5. Fragmented Patient Data: While the primary focus of this approach is on funding and service utility, the underlying blockchain technology can potentially be extended to create a unified, secure, and transparent patient data system, improving care coordination and outcomes.
6. Trust & Transparency Issues: With the growing concern over malpractices, hidden charges, and the lack of transparency in the healthcare sector, a blockchain-based approach offers immutable records, ensuring patients have clear visibility into their transactions and rights.
7. Adaptability to Technological Changes: The healthcare industry sometimes struggles to integrate new technologies due to regulatory hurdles or systemic inertia. A platform grounded in advanced technologies like blockchain and NFTs may be more nimble and adaptable to future innovations.
8. Decentralization of Power & Autonomy: By decentralizing the financial control from a few major stakeholders or financiers to a broader base of token holders, healthcare institutions can have greater autonomy in decision-making and reduce the influence of a few dominant entities.

While the tokenization of healthcare services through NFTs presents solutions to several challenges, it’s essential to recognize that it won’t be a panacea for all healthcare problems. Implementation and adaptation will need to be monitored carefully, ensuring that new challenges don’t emerge as a result of this innovative approach.

A token, in the context of digital systems and particularly in blockchain and cryptocurrencies, is a digital representation of physical value or utility. It operates on top of an existing blockchain or digital infrastructure. Unlike a standalone cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), which has its own unique blockchain, a token leverages the infrastructure and security of an existing blockchain to verify transactions and ownership.

Utility Tokens: These tokens are not created to be an investment. Instead, they provide users with a product and/or service. For example, a hotel might offer tokens which can be exchanged for the ability to rent rooms in a hotel in the future.

Security Tokens: These tokens derive their value from an external asset and are subject to federal laws that govern securities. They often represent shares in a company, earnings from a project, or any other type of investment.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs): Unique digital assets verified using blockchain technology, commonly used in digital art, collectibles, and other unique items.

An NFT, or Non-Fungible Token, represents a unique digital item or piece of content on the blockchain. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are fungible and can be exchanged on a one-for-one basis, NFTs are distinct and cannot be exchanged on a like-for-like basis. The main property of NFT is Uniqueness: Each NFT has distinct information or attributes that make it unique and thus not interchangeable on a one-to-one basis with other tokens. It is a reason why NFT can represent something unique, such as a picture, football ticket, right to rent a hotel room etc.

Tokens can be bought, sold, or traded for other tokens or cryptocurrencies on various exchanges. They are often used to raise capital in Token Sales. In an tokensale process, new tokens are created and sold to investors/owners who are looking to invest in a new project. Tokens can represent a wide range of assets or value, from tangible items like real estate or gold to digital services like storage space or computational power.

OrdinalsGoods is the most simplified design.

DAO LLC in the relevant jurisdiction is registered for an affordable price and the business itself in its own name (or in the name of its DAO) makes self-issuance of such subscription contracts for fixed service units (in the case of a hotel = 1 time of stay, 1 day of stay, etc.)

A DAO, or Decentralized Autonomous Organization, is an organization that operates based on pre-set rules encoded as computer programs called smart contracts. These rules are transparent and controlled by the organization’s members rather than a centralized authority or hierarchy. DAOs are usually built on blockchain platforms.

Our technology is based on the very profound Ordinals Theory (see Forbes paper “Bitcoin Ordinals Are The Next Big Thing In Crypto”)

Do you know that Satoshis are the smallest units of Bitcoin? One Bitcoin is made up of 100 million Satoshis. Individual satoshis can be inscribed with special content, creating unique Bitcoin-native digital artifacts ( more commonly known as NFTs) that can be held in Bitcoin wallets and transferred using Bitcoin transactions. Inscriptions are as durable, immutable, secure, and decentralized as Bitcoin itself. 

Ordinal Theory is a numbering scheme for satoshis that allows tracking and transferring individual sats. These numbers are called ordinal numbers. Satoshis are numbered in the order in which they’re mined.

With this, you can represent all kinds of digital items like NFTs, financial tokens, and even stablecoins directly on the Bitcoin network. You don’t need any extra networks or tokens to make this work.
