The Weave – investing in the transformation of the healthcare experience, and beyond

The Weave offers an early investment opportunity in a patent-pending enterprise blockchain platform with vast commercial appeal – scalable to multiple growth industries and government – that will resonate with consumers as well.

Investing in The Weave Enterprise Blockchain Platform for Healthcare

The Weave captures and connects real-world interactions in real-time, enabling industries such as healthcare to elevate and transform the experience for all participants – from providers to patients, hospitals to pharmacies, insurers to drug makers, and beyond. All entities in the Weave get their own blockchain, and all participants to an interaction have a shared block placed on their chain. This unique approach creates a Weave of interrelated interactions that securely scales out, mirroring social network effects, and cures over time into a robust shared information fabric.

Imagine reviewing historical medical interactions for a patient, drug or treatment, in-the-moment and in real-time, and thereby being able to make better choices that improve treatment options, avoid costly mistakes, and improve outcomes.

It’s a simple concept, with immense implications and opportunities – for the Weave, and for investors. And as described later in this article, early investor discounts for the Weave are also significant, but limited.

The Upheaval Team

The Upheaval team (Upheaval invented and builds the Weave) has experience in globally scalable enterprise software, protocols, AI, insurance industry solutions, and has experience turning patented technology into successful business models. We’re perfectly situated to capitalize on the future, because we’ve seen seismic shifts like this happen before, and watched the revolutions in commerce occur as a result. This time we’re building the revolution, with help from our advisors who have contributed to companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Groupon, DocuSign, and others that grew into technology leaders in their own right – they’ll help us do the same.

Total Addressable Market for Enterprise Blockchain Adoption in Healthcare

The total addressable market for the Weave, in healthcare alone, is immense. Global healthcare expenditures are expected to top USD $10 trillion by 2022, with an overall annual growth rate of 5.4%. The healthcare IT market alone is expected to top USD $440 billion by 2025, with the electronic health record market alone expected to approach USD $98 billion in the same timeframe – with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 50%. In addition, the Internet of Things (IoT) addressable market in healthcare alone is expected to exceed USD$530 billion by 2025, with a growth rate of 19.9% in that time frame. That’s a lot of growth, in a lot of different areas, all where the Weave can add value and streamline the experience for hospitals, doctors, patients, and all other participants.

In Deloitte’s 2019 US and Global Health Care Industry Outlook, one of its six trends included “investing in digital innovations and transformation” where it listed “digital innovations that are helping reshape the future of health care by making health care delivery more efficient and more accessible.” First on that list was blockchain, others included cloud-based computing, AI, cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS), and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT); the Weave will enable delivering on each of those innovations and more. Importantly, the Weave can do so without disrupting or replacing existing systems – the Weave can integrate with existing systems, rather than having to replace them.

Business Model

The business model for the Weave is based on a subscription service. A subscription establishes an organization’s presence in the Weave (a SaaS subscription model), then integrates their existing systems (in place, intact) to create their own protected Weave presence. Large organizations can have multiple Weave subscriptions, and work seamlessly. This is similar to other cloud-based services such as Microsoft’s Azure, Amazon’s AWS and others. With the Weave, organizations will also be able to subscribe to big data analytics services, so that business intelligence insights based on interactions in the Weave can be used to further improve decisions, service delivery, efficiencies, and even marketing programs.

Patients and individuals use the Upheaval app, our mobile app available on all major platforms, for their engagement in the Weave and to participate in the creation of shared blocks. It’s their portal into their own blockchain information, and the mechanism by which they can selectively share elements or categories of information from their chain, by simply sharing a readable code and confirming they want to share. For individuals, the app and their presence in the Weave is always free.

Subscribers, partners, and other participants who have a presence in the Weave will use the Upheaval cryptocurrency token, the UPC, to pay for subscriptions and other value transfers in the Weave. We talk more about the UPC in a few paragraphs.

An important benefit of having a presence in the Weave is the network effects that can be achieved. Organizations with a presence in the Weave will exponentially increase the value of their accessibility within the Weave environment, just as the Internet, social media, and online shopping exponentially broadened the reach of participants in those networks, too.

Crypto-economics

The Upheaval cryptocurrency, the UPC, fuels the Weave’s economic activity and is being offered in Blocks. The first Block is currently available in a private sale using SAFT agreements, with an early investor discount of 50%. The intent of such a deep discount is straightforward: early investors should benefit most, so they get the best discount. A finite amount of UPCs are available in Block 1.

DxChain: Navigating The Next Frontier In Blockchain Data And Computing

Blockchain is a key disruptor in industries as diverse as finance, retail, healthcare, and politics. The latter certainly introduces intriguing possibilities into the social fabric. In 2018, Boston start-up Voatz launched a blockchain-based voting platform to address concerns about voting irregularities. To date, more than 70,000 voters have already used Voatz to vote in state, municipal, and union elections. The platform’s blockchain technology ensures tamper-proof record keeping and auditing. As blockchain technologies evolve, so do expectations regarding their continued viability. One man, however, has leveraged the bottleneck of data storage and computing to create new solutions.

DxChain- distributed storage and computing network

Allan Zhang has always been ambitious, where technology is concerned. In 2018, the former security engineer for Palo Alto Networks launched DxChain, a distributed storage and computing network. It is essentially a decentralized Big Data and machine learning network that has revolutionized data security in the cloud. Under the previous blockchain model, the largest Internet giants owned Big Data: Amazon, Google, and Facebook. With Zhang’s DxChain, data in all its forms come under individual ownership. It’s a powerful new shift in the blockchain paradigm.

On its face, DxChain utilizes “Chains-on-chain” architecture to facilitate data trading. It consists of an immutable master chain and two side chains for storage and computation. The side chains not only add to the capabilities of the master chain, they also come equipped with their own security framework. This means that a security breach on the main chain will not affect the side chains. While the master chain handles transactions (such as master contracts), the side chains address scalability and latency issues.

At its heart, DxChain is a data trading platform that combines with Hadoop to deliver stable, secure, and decentralized storage for both individuals and organizations. Essentially, DxChain dismantles the Big Tech monopoly on data and allows everyone to trade data securely over the cloud.

Solutions

The technological innovations in DxChain are extensive in nature. Zhang and his team of engineers designed DxChain to include side chains for delivering storage, privacy, and computational capabilities. 

  • The master blockchain utilizes an Ethereum-compatible data framework of hash-connected blocks. In blockchain, special hashing algorithms create hashes, which are fixed-length digital signatures for blocks. At their heart, hashes contribute extensively to data security.
  • Meanwhile, the computing side chain is predicated on the verification game algorithm and Provable Data Computation (PDC) consensus mechanism. At its heart, verification game utilizes recursive checking to ensure that computational procedures are performed correctly, while Provable Data Computation (PDC) allows users to remotely ascertain the authenticity of data stored at untrusted sources.
  • For its part, the data storage side chain is based on the Proof of Spacetime (PoSt) and Provable Data Possession(PDP) consensus mechanism. PoST facilitates faster transaction speeds, improved privacy protections, and increased transparency.
  • Immutable encrypted data protects user data and prevents costly breaches.
  • DxChain has the potentiality of powering smart cities. In a smart city, smart contracts oversee the daily operations of temperature, air quality, and security sensors. The platform also enables data buyers to develop machine learning algorithms to detect device failures and order maintenance checks. 
  • In the healthcare industry, the value chain is impeded by Big Data and privacy concerns. Providers must wade through copious sets of patient health records, lab reports, and wearable technology data to deliver accurate diagnoses and treatment plans. DxChain addresses both data and security concerns by encrypting data collected through mobile apps, smart devices, and fitness trackers and storing them securely. Data can also be shared across devices, which facilitates cross-functional collaboration between healthcare providers. Additionally, the platform’s machine learning capabilities allow healthcare developers to develop unique algorithms to remotely monitor the health of patients.

Essentially, DxChain’s decentralized platform reduces data storage and traffic management costs, which may, in turn, lower healthcare premiums for patients.

Target Businesses

DxChain has the potentiality of transforming how data is stored, managed, and traded in the cloud. Beneficiaries of its platform include:

  • Small and medium-sized AI companies, which can leverage DxChain to create unique big data and machine learning platforms at lower costs.
  • Proprietorships and organizations of various sizes, which can obtain data at competitive prices in a secure data transaction market. 

Essentially, everyone can obtain the kind of high-quality data that is currently monopolized by enterprise organizations. 

At its heart, DxChain eliminates the challenges of the present blockchain network:

  • the monopolization of profits by powerful organizations from the sale of valuable data
  • privacy concerns of industries that must comply with regulatory requirements
  • expensive costs associated with data storage services

As can be seen, Zhang’s DxChain is a game changer in blockchain technology. If you’re curious about how new blockchain technologies can transform your healthcare ecosystem, contact us. Together, we can transform your value chain organically, effortlessly, and intrinsically.
