Inukshuk Healthdata Wallet

[GENERAL] Summarize your solution to the problem.

BioDao effort is to create a hybrid DataWallet Inukshuk HealthData Wallet™ (IHW™).

This Node contains all information the individual allows to be shared with Clinical Trial Groups.

[GENERAL] Summarize your relevant experience.

In prior work during the early stages of the new millennium, our CSO Brian Harper helped develop a global health ecosystem with individual users and health providers..Our team's extensive work on modules of the Atala PRISM code supports the effort.

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

BioDao has been developing a Web3 version of the Healthnexxus personalized global health EcoSystem. This platform invites participation from the developer communities to open the limited personal engagement in the development and effective deployment of sensitive verifiable health interactions. The Inukshuk Health Wallet™ is part one of a three part platform. Using the IHW™ as the basis for the decentralized storage of historic and current information, a new era of personalized health interaction is born.

BioDao’s decentralized Inukshuk Health wallet will offer individuals real time collection of health data, accessible in the palm of your hand, while ensuring interoperability with standards-based health systems. It will also allow individuals to build their own records from existing health agencies where permitted. 

The IHW™ records all activity associated with sensor inputs, and when enabled will formally allow those wishing to participate in research, clinical trials and studies of chronic health conditions to reward to individual. 

Steps two and three are subject to separate proposals for Catalyst funding. They integrate the concept of a Health Digital Identity for the individual. 

Recruitment of specific health factors using the IHW can be done using only biographical information so identity can be preserved. 

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

The proposal is designed to address the challenge of decentralization and its relationship to the Cardano Blockchain.(Mainnet). In health informatics a constant theme is the preservation of identifiable personal data. 

Our approach extends the limits of decentralization of personal health information by generating individual IHW™ which can be located in a variety of user-selected environments. Each is independently created and has links the individual agrees on. 

This approach serves to ensure the data framework is truly decentralized. Individuals can specify the who, what, when and how the IHW™ can release information yet preserves a record of immutability of action and not the data itself.

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

BioDao has access to frameworks and data previously developed for the Web2 platform which was Healthnexxus. Healthnexxus was sold in 2008. Leveraging our CSO’s undertaking to convert the test model from C++ to Haskel was undertaken. The single biggest risk is scalability.

The proposal includes trialling with an increasing number of users beginning with 25, then 250 and capping at a targeted 12,500 users.

Acquisition of additional engineering expertise with knowledge in Haskel, Plutus and AtalaPrism.

As the key function of the IHW is to generate decentralized individual wallets the risk is minimized as each individual will act in a random manner in selecting the location of that wallet thus minimizing the scalability risk.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

The proposal has five (5) key elements of time. 

These are:

1. In the first 2 weeks after proposal award the team will review the selected wallet options and explore innovative new options in the Cardano ecosystem. A choice of model and framework will be made which aligns with the standards defined for the Inukshuk Health Wallet. This wallet must combine the use of a No SQL data model, a lite mobile function (to allow for changes of location) and a cryptocurrency escrow function.
2. In weeks 3,4,5 and 6 the IHW wallet will be developed to reflect the previously outlined standards. Included in this is a tool set for community developers to generate their own models.
3. Weeks 7 & 8: Link the IHW to the Cardano Testnet with on-chain test of the transfer of but not the actual personal data. During the test phase the wallet will be used to revoke specific location identifiers and post new ones from 4 different locations.
4. Flexible Access Module is developed. This links to a simple Biosensor developed to collect individual data . Specifically this module is designed for those individuals wishing to record and improve their self management of chronic health issues like Parkinson’s Disease. This part of the proposal is scheduled to take 6 weeks.
5. Complete UX Model for release. 4 weeks.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed budget breakdown.

• Exploratory analysis of embedded toolchains and potential hardware platforms to be supported. 65 hrs Weeks 1 & 2
• Design, architecture, specification, initialization. 135 hrs Weeks 3 & 4
• Preliminary code audit function 95 hrs Weeks 5 & 6
• Implementation and superficial testing of core features 195 hrs Weeks 7, 8 & 9
• Extensive testing and possible implementation of edge features 105 hrs Weeks 10, 11 & 12
• Docs and training materials 55 hrs Week 13
• Adaptation budget 175 Weeks 14, 15 & 16

Total time 825

• Server hardware requirements: 16000
• External audit (code): 12000
• Miscellaneous: 2375

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide details of the people who will work on the project.

BioDao works with Asobria LifeSciences team of engineers and programmers. The three leadership resources will be dedicated to ensuring the project is meeting its objectives. The proposal has been budgeted with 3.5 full time programmer/engineers.

[FEASIBILITY] If you are funded, will you return to Catalyst in a later round for further funding? Please explain why / why not.

If funded we will likely look to apply for funding in future rounds as the IHW™ becomes more broadly scaled.

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or any member of your team working on any other proposals in this Fund9?

[FEASIBILITY] Are you or your team working on any other proposals from previous Funds?

[AUDITABILITY] Please describe what you will measure to track your project's progress, and how will you measure these?

Weekly progress reports are made available for audit each Monday. 

An external code Audit is part of the budget. these folks will be engaged as coding is begun.

[AUDITABILITY] What does success for this project look like?

The completion and rollout of the Inukshuk Health wallet with all the features mentioned in our solution making it the first fully Decentralized Health Ecosystem for those interested in managing chronic health conditions with innovative new products. It will also establish the initiation of a Cardano blockchain framework for individual participation in Clinical trials, anonymously, with rewards.

[AUDITABILITY] Please provide information on whether this proposal is a continuation of a previously funded project in Catalyst or an entirely new one.

This is an entirely new one.
