1.2 PRODUCT
Help2Health: Cardano + Citaldoc is a synergistic project of Citaldoc.com (www.citaldoc.com) that incorporates ADA / DJED payment methods, offers crypto incentives and implements smart contracts in telehealth (remote medical consultations, face-to-face medical appointments, prescription medication, request for studies, etc.) aiming to expand safe health data sharing
Keeping the information of each user and their family safe and dissociated.
Based on our consolidated presence in the health market in Argentina with Citaldoc.com www.citaldoc.com, we will incorporate the possibility of transacting remote teleconsultations with ADA and/or Djed.
Work will be done on education on telemedicine, technology and financial education for professionals, patients and other health providers.
Diffusion, marketing and publicity actions will be carried out, offering an efficient, economical and safe service.
Business model
Citaldoc is a flexible, scalable platform where B2C and B2B models coexist
B2C model
The professional has an integrated and secure platform for him and his patients where he can carry out Teleconsultations (video and chat) and offer face-to-face medical care appointments.
Citaldoc's business model consists of charging a fee of 30% to the patient who performs a teleconsultation. nothing to professional
This 30% is added to the fee chosen by the professional
For example: a consultation of 10 USD has a final cost of 13 USD for the patient.
With the incorporation of payments in cryptocurrencies of Cardano, the patient will receive a 15% discount for payment in cryptocurrencies, the professional will receive an extra 5% in ADA or Djed of his usual fee for each consultation made.
The remaining 10% will be invested to optimize the technical aspects and generate dissemination, financial education and marketing actions necessary for user adoption.
Another source of income is the subscription of professionals/health centers to the Premium system for face-to-face appointments, with an average rate of
4 USD /professional/month
There is also a free version of face-to-face shifts with limited functions
B2B model
Through agreements with companies, health insurance, governments, pharmaceutical industry that need to use or offer telemedicine, either by White Label, Subscription Pack or Sponsorship.
We have made agreements with governments, companies, pharmaceutical laboratories, etc.
Courses of action for the solution
a. Educational in the use of cryptocurrencies, wallets, etc. through workshops, digital campaigns, webinars and other mass media aimed at health professionals, providers and patients.
Stimulate financial education for all stakeholders in the health universe with a focus on the blockchain and crypto world of Cardano – ADA.
b. Offer of discounts and bonuses in ADA for the benefits of medical consultations, clinical analyzes and preventive controls that will result in better health care for patients and lower costs for medical insurance.
Example: mammograms, pap's, colonoscopies, blood tests, cholesterol and glucose, skin care, spirometry, healthy nutrition, among others.
Institutional support will be sought from the Medical Associations of each specialty to support the dissemination of these initiatives, as well as from patient associations.
c. Developing
Update Citaldoc.com, integrate with smart contracts based on Cardano, incorporate payment in ADA and Djed and its benefits. Develop an electronic medical record. Optimize AWS server
1.3 What is Citaldoc?

Introduction
Difficulties and barriers to access to receive efficient medical care of quality at lower costs.
The lack of solutions that integrate the health market (patients-doctors - other stakeholders) with crypto payment (Ada, Djed) and block chain patient health data sharing.
Data security and management.
Here the integration of smart contracts based on Cardano will be essential to have "sensitive patient health data sharing".
Going deeper
Access to medical care is part of a historical problem and is limited by geographical, economic, technological and bureaucratic barriers.
Initially, the focus will be Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), to later extrapolate the solution to the rest of the continents.
If you want more information about the problems that affect health in Latin America and the Caribbean, we recommend reading the Sustainable Health Agenda for the Americas 2018-2030, which details the 11 (eleven) goals proposed by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). )
Link: Sustainable Health Agenda for the Americas 2018-2030 (English version)
These goals are intended to ensure that every woman, man and child can live a healthy and productive life.
Data and analysis:
Health systems in Latin America and the Caribbean have fewer resources and capacity than OECD countries to deal not only with the COVID-19 pandemic but with any acute or chronic disease.
Total health spending in Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries corresponds to 6.6% of GDP, lower than the 8.8% in OECD countries.
Allocation to health spending is poor and unbalanced, and progress towards universal health coverage in LAC is slowing.
Another barrier is related to the management of health information privacy, for which it is mandatory to incorporate smart contract technology in order to add layers of security and facilitate responsible blockchain health data sharing. Safe for the patient, for the doctor and for the rest of the components of the health market (pharma, health insurance, pharmacies, companies and government).
Another of the deficits is the very low magnitude of the use of cryptocurrencies in the Health sector.
It is important to increase transactions with cryptocurrencies in this market for medical and dental consultations, clinical tests and diagnosis, hospitalizations, medical insurance, medicines and other outpatient medical practices.
At the same time, promote preventive health care through token incentives that reward healthy habits and medical check-ups.
The incorporation of means of payment in ADA and/or Djed generates a positive impact on health, economics and convenient financial education for all citizens.

A.0 DEFINITION OF SUCCESS
1. Our success is getting patients as professionals and other health stakeholders to use Help2Health: Cardano+Citaldoc, incorporate ADA and/or Djed to their transactions in pursuit of better health care and income generation that encourage health care by means of profit in cryptocurrencies.
2. To have an active role in the integration of e-health with the Cardano blockchain, starting our journey in Latin America and the Caribbean, then seeking to scale to other countries, already as a multilingual platform.
3. Being a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) that implements Cardano and Ada/Djed in the health sector and with its own cryptocurrency.
A.1 SHORT-TERM SUCCESS (focus of this proposal)
In 6 months we consider it successful if we get between 75 and 100 health professionals to accept payment with ADA and Djed crypto when it is available and that 1,000 patients carry out consultations and preventive controls using it as a payment currency and taking advantage of its incentives and bonuses
We are conservative in the calculation assuming that we have to work hard in education, technology and marketing.
To achieve this, our current platform and mobile applications will be adapted by integrating elements from the Cardano open-source collection.
Workshops and webinars will be given for professionals, patients and providers,
Video tutorials, manuals and instructions will be distributed.
We know how to reach users, we will make our established networks available, seeking to extend them.
A.2 MEDIUM-TERM SUCCESS
If we consider medium term to a period of between 1 to 5 years
The success will be to achieve that between 5,000 to 10,000 health professionals from Spanish, English and Portuguese speaking countries have their digital office and accept ADA, Djed or our future token for their transactions and that 3M to 5M of patients use the service.
Citalcoin launch (our future token)
Incorporate interoperability, AI tool and the possibility of interacting with external medical devices
Be a reference in the dissemination of the relevance of blockchain, focusing on Cardano and its positive impact on health
The inclusion of other health stakeholders (pharma, health insurance, diagnostic studies, pharmacies, related companies, etc.) to further enhance the care network.
Regional scaling (LAC, Brazil, Spanish-speaking USA, Spain and English version)
A.3 LONG-TERM SUCCESS
Achieve global scaling:
● From the 5th year the goal is to continue adding users and scale worldwide (Africa, Asia, Europe, etc.)
● To be a benchmark in health services linked to blockchain and the Cardano network.
● Transform into DAO
● Health Metaverse
