Description: “Healthy on the Blockchain (HoB)” offers a preventive health program to organisations, with a user-friendly on-boarding process and a secure connection between trainer and trainee. The programme’s activities include walking, running, at home fitness exercises, and relaxation. The wearable tracks the users’ steps and heart rate. The activity data goes to a coach, Ken, who can follow up and support the pilot users via a dashboard. The coach is supported by a virtual trainer, as feedback is automatically generated by the system. This feedback includes encouraging people to take more steps, rewarding them with badges for achieving particular goals, and inviting them to do meditation and relaxation exercises. The project investigates how the use of blockchain enables citizens to maintain control of their health and health data
Location: The City of Roeselare (BE) will be the first pilot organisation to test HoB.
Period: 2020-2021
Partners: City of Roeselare (BE) and the Howest University of Applied Science and Arts (BE).
Users contribution description: Employees will install an application on their smartphone, and receives the wearable device. Employees create a user profile with information like their name, weight, and height. Employees also map their current fitness level by answering some questions that analyse their fitness at work, their lifestyle, and their stress levels. Based on this information, a training program will be generated and linked to the various activity profiles according to the employee’s fitness level. Employees can then get started with the wearable and the training program, managing them via the application on their smartphone.
