Blockchain based project Etheal.com helps you find doctors

Cryptocurrencies continue to transform the world in the most amazing ways. The latest feather in their cap comes from the healthcare industry.

Medical tourism isn’t a new trend. A lot of people travel to different countries to receive greater or better standard of healthcare than they would have in their own country. Lately, medical tourism is witnessing a big boom. Although, patients around the world are facing many problems looking for doctors in other countries. Most websites are packed with paid ads, there is a lack of trustworthy reviews, it is quite difficult to find reliable data in different languages and above all exorbitant fees of middlemen cause a lot of complexities.

The team’s previous startup doklist.com is a successful healthcare comparison site (which boasts a tremendous 2.5M or more visits per year), served as a effective platform for the growth of Etheal. Blockchain based system of Etheal allows easy translation of the reviews; while features like Etheal​ ​Trust​ ​Score​ ​(ETS) and Etheal​ ​Rank​ ​Score​ ​(ERS)​ show the history of the healthcare provider. The idea of ETS is based on the “believability score” of the world’s largest hedge fund – Bridgewater Associates. It reflects the reliability of a doctor/clinic, whereas ERS shows communication, availability and overall satisfaction. The smart contract based ecosystem of Etheal also has its own token- HEAL, which is an ERC20 proper utility token. The company has set aside an exciting amount of 2 million HEAL tokens as an incentive for those who help build the community.

Dr. Mihaly Kertesz, co-founder and COO of Etheal says, “The beauty behind the Etheal ecosystem is its infinite potential to scale into various healthcare sectors- We are already thinking about Etheal platform applications, including a medical tourism app, a free AI-Driven chatbot to manage online profiles of health professionals, a healthcare fundraising platform.”
