DIDs for Animal Records

How to Encourage Mass Adoption of Atala-Prism for Health Records? We will develop a schematic model of an Atala-Prism based system for the owners of animals, including health, breeding, and nutrition records. The first target is records for horse owners. After receiving feedback in the form of owner polls and focus groups, we will develop guidelines for constructing a more general approach for owners of dogs and other pets. A system that is voluntarily used for horses and pets is a good test case for the later development of systems for the integration of IDs and human health records.

Team and Experience:

• Justin Mcallister: business consultant
• Kendall Woellmer:  professional horse trainer
• Kristine Downard: horse and dog buyer
• Ella Downard: representative to AQHA, AKC member, dog breeder
• David Watts:  full stack developer
• Board of Advisors: https://www.keplerscs.com/our-team-1

IP: Community workshops on Zoom in both a live and recorded form. Informational resources will be publicly available via a Youtube channel under copy left permission.

Defining success:

Creation of a schematic model that use in the adoption of Atala Prism ID system. Development of webpage on the Kepler SCS website with videos presenting a narrative of the community conversation as citizens learn about the opportunities to create and take ownership of a secure digital ID.
