IMM tokens are the lifeblood of the Immunify.Life platform. Together, they will improve healthcare data management, enhance treatment and save lives.

The IMM Token and Its Value Utility

Immunify.Life is a user-centric platform since user-generated and user-controlled health data lies at the nucleus of the ecosystem. The IMM token is also user-focused, with various utilities designed around the users and holders of the token. Users are empowered to share in the value that is inherent in their (de-identified) medical records

Immunify.Life is a hub for medical interactions and information flow between the patient and healthcare providers; hence the value of the IMM token is centered around this concept.

Every user of Immunify.Life app will have a digital wallet, and IMM tokens will serve as a payment settlement layer for these app users. Users of the app and holders of IMM tokens can use them to purchase goods and services, access medical data, or acquire digital medical certificates in the form of NFTs.

The IMM token technical architecture comes with the following utility:

  • Value Transference: IMM tokens are an apparatus to transfer value within the Immunify.Life community. Organizations such as Governments, NGOs, and pharmaceutical companies can use them to sample detailed real-time medical data and to monitor the impact of their investments or donations.
  • Staking utility: IMM tokens have an in-built staking mechanism that allows users to stake their tokens and earn rewards in the form of fees from data samplers. Data samplers can also participate in “Engagement staking” to earn rewards.
  • Medical Incentivization: IMM tokens function as an incentive for good patient behavior by financially rewarding patients for adhering to their doctor’s prescription or completing treatments. Organizations like governments and NGOs provide IMM tokens as rewards to encourage/reinforce positive behavior such as taking medicine or getting tested.

The Vision for How IMM Can Change Healthcare

The World Health Organization reports that infectious diseases continue to be a major threat to the health of people all over the world. Even though healthcare costs already account for more than 10% of GDP in several economies in the first world, Africa has 24% of the world’s disease burden but only 3% of the global health workforce and 1% of global healthcare investment. Also, the life expectancy in some African countries is less than 55 years, compared to 85+ years in several first-world countries. Over 1 billion people in Africa do not have their medical data captured electronically, as most clinics still rely on paper-based systems.

The deployment of Immunify.Life and IMM tokens can solve the healthcare delivery problem by helping to build up Africa’s healthcare infrastructure, which would aid in resolving the issue of lack of healthcare services for most of the populace.

Proper data management plays a significant role in healthcare infrastructure. With it, healthcare personnel can analyze medical information and gain better insight into a patient’s problem, improving tracking and management of patients, leading to better diagnosis, treatment, and, consequently, better medical outcomes.

This is the solution Immunify.Life provides — an efficient approach to healthcare data management through its blockchain-powered ecosystem. IMM tokens will not only facilitate the overall operation of Immunify.Life and its services. It will usher in a new era of medical compliance through an incentive system, driving positive behavioral change in disease management.
