Introduction of Habet - Addiction Healthcare Platform
$1.2 million raised
Just a couple of days ago, at Blockshow Americas 2018, the Virtual 3D Web’s first use case, Habet, successfully raised $1.2 million from two healthcare fund managers!
What is Habet?
There are multiple use cases and applications for the Virtual 3D Web spanning across many industries, genres and virtual world environments. Creative 3D Web is in various stages of development on five different environments that will become part of the Virtual 3D Web and provide the initial content for users to enjoy. Each provides for fully decentralized and demonstrably fair in-world gamification possibilities including certain monetization potential for developers. First of those environments is Habet.
The Habet vision is the democratization of addiction healthcare diagnosis, information distribution and treatment, creating freedom for sufferers to chose, despite geographica and psychological boundaries, to stay stay aligned to proper diagnosis and treatment.
Habet concept was initially designed to address a major societal healthcare related problem: the ‘meteroric rise of gambling and gaming addiction as identified by the World Health Organisation., however, the platform also has many applications relevant to all types of addiction pathologies.
Gambling & Gaming Addiction issues are amongst the most challenging issues being faced in the modern world. Constant technological changes in the Internet of Things (IOT) can also account for ever increasing addictive behavior some of which addictions can prove harmful.
Debate concerning funding and who should underwrite it creates inaction. However the problem is more serious as money cannot guarantee quality diagnosis and treatment, as is the case of gambling. The current reality is that circa 5% of gamblers struggle with gambling problems. Gambling addiction statistics also show people between the ages 20 and 30 have the highest rates of problem gambling. This is coincidently the same demographic, as the majority of Internet users which would suggest that Internet diagnosis and treatment would have a better chance of success. Unfortunately to date there has been no holistic attempt by industry stakeholders to engage with the “forgotten 5%”.
Incentive-driven ecosystem
We have created an incentive-driven ecosystem where all sufferers are treated equally and incentivized to continue to be treated and supported and a system that is focused on rapid identification, management, prevention support and reward rather than episodic and transaction-based treatments.
The current Habet platform, which has already been developed by C3DW, includes a client-facing, browser-based app for managing addiction healthcare, interacting with therapists or sufferer, scheduling appointments, and attending the many seminars that will take place within Habet.
Blockchain technology
The existing platform will be enhanced by leveraging custom blockchain architecture and includes the addition of our Avatz token cryptocurrency. Therapeutic outcomes—based on accuracy will be peer-reviewed and stored on the blockchain for an immutable record of performance and will further lead to trust and positive outcomes.
The use of this technology provides a decentralized platform for addiction healthcare providers and sufferers to interact together, render payment obtain peer reviews and gain access to electronic medical records (EMRs) while still complying with global privacy and safety requirements. Our global expansion will mean greater access for those living in areas that lack quality addictive healthcare, as well as lower cost through the transparency and accessibility of our network.
