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.”
