There is no mindfulness dapp yet, leaving a big gap for user acquisition.
The next generation of meditation app : a combination of still and moving meditation with blockchain monetization strategies.
This is the total amount allocated to Qinesis: QiGong & mindfulness Dapp.
Description
Educational applications are expected to evolve into blockchain models, so we present in this context the first wellbeing Dapp of the Cardano ecosystem.
Qinesis represents the next generation of meditation apps by combining still and moving meditation. It opens a wider dimension to your meditative practice, and brings many natural health possibilities.
Qigong is a gentle gymnastics based on Traditional Chinese Médecine knowledge. It is the subject of many medical studies that are increasingly revealing its benefits.

We already have a collection of over 250 video exercises waiting to be included in this web 3.0 application, as well as an initial version of the site. The requested funds will be used for the integration of Cardano with a custom smart contract, the creation of the associated token and the deployment of the whole content.
The Cardano community will enjoy a natural health and wellbeing platform that will help to reduce stress, improve physical and mental health, and compensate for long static working hours with highly precise movements.
It will also enable us to attract a new population to Cardano, interested in wellbeing and natural therapies.
Furthermore it will promote Cardano to a french audience, as the website is fully translated in French and English. (We are planning to add more languages later)
User Experience
Qinesis will be experienced as an application for meditation and mindfulness practices. It will combine audio, videos and texts in order to propose exercises and knowledge to the participants.
The interface will display a CARE button, that participants will use it to stake the amount of $CARE they choose in order to support the content creation, the system and the community. In return they will receive access to some exclusive contents, and will get rewards in $CARE correlated with the amount of token staked. They will also have the possibility to buy NFTs for more creative content.
The CARE token
The $CARE aims to be a general use token for people who share the values of the CARE philosophy, oriented toward inclusive well being, creativity and ecology. It will be a native Cardano token, associated with a custom Smart Contract.

Note that the scope of this proposal, which is called the Qinesis DApp, is related to the Web App (the evolution of the Qinesis website). The evolution of the native mobile app can be done in the future.
Expected public launch date : April 2022
Definition of success
Our goal is to slowly but surely develop a growing community, in the Cardano way.
The first success will be to innovate in the well being sector by the quality of our contract, Dapp and content.
We intend to gain traction in a progressive manner as blockchain expands beyond Defi and metaverse, creating a deeper connection with real life needs.
After 3 months, success will be to have a fully functional Dapp, the first of its kind, with at least 100 exercises integrated.
After 6 months, our vision of success will be to have at least 250 exercises, a community of several thousands regular users, including existing members of the Cardano community and new entrants, with a lively Discord and real life events such as mindfulness retreats.
After 12 months, our vision is to open the Dapp to a selection of new content creators in the well being sector. This will exponentially expand the user base, as these teachers will be selected for having already a large number of fans and followers. Our goal is to create a space based on Cardano where the numerous well being actors can land. We will expand the vision to meditative NFTs creations, in order to develop a cultural movement, where users can take care of their mind and bodies in various ways.
We believe that the transformation of society begins by an inner transformation. With Qinesis, the blockchain revolution is combining with the meditation revolution. This is our commitment.
