Mosio Announces the Launch of Clinicoin, the Largest Cryptocurrency-based Health and Wellness Community in the World

Health and Wellness

SEATTLE — (Business Wire) — Mosio, Inc., the company providing two-way mobile messaging solutions for healthcare and clinical research, announces today the launch of Clinicoin, a “superapp” platform for healthcare. Clinicoin is the first blockchain platform focused on building a global health and wellness community. The platform gives users the necessary mobile tools to help them manage their lives and lead healthy lifestyles, and incentivizes thee behaviors to make exercise and mindfulness activities fun.

Clinicoin rewards users with its in-app cryptocurrency, CLIN tokens, for engaging in healthy activities via an open source platform. Leveraged by a blockchain-based ecosystem, the platform is designed to connect people, developers and providers, worldwide, improving global health, wellness and research.

Clinicoin offers its users a variety of features including:

- Rewards Engine — enables the distribution of Clinicoin (CLIN) tokens among community members. They can be used for completing healthy tasks, incentivizing adherence or participating in medical research.

- Proof of Engagement (PoE) — the confirmation of healthy activities connected to the Clinicoin platform by two different types of Validators (health app developers and activity leaders). Similar to mining other cryptocurrencies, users earn CLIN tokens for participating in healthy activities and Validators earn tokens for confirming those behaviors.

- Secure Messaging — uses end-to-end encryption, enabling users to interact securely with each other, organizations, researchers and digital tools, keeping them on track with their health and wellness goals in compliance with HIPAA privacy and security guidelines.

- Health and Wellness Marketplace — where Clinicoin members spend their CLIN tokens for access to tools, content, products and services. The marketplace will be powered by Mosio and soon move to a decentralized model.

Educational tools — Users can access digital tools and explore resources and updates about fitness and nutrition to educate themselves with the latest information about staying healthy.

The two other Clinicoin community member types are Developers (programmers, software engineers) and Providers (healthcare organizations, researchers, practitioners). Developers can create, deploy and monetize their software applications connected to the Clinicoin platform. Providers benefit from an easy and secure way to interact with users and gather data through surveys. Leveraging ten years as a mobile messaging solutions provider, Mosio uses its platform to solve patient engagement problems for healthcare organizations, clinical researchers and software companies.

The Clinicoin token sale will open at 9am PST on February 21, 2018 (5pm GMT, Feb 21, 2018) and close at 6pm PDT on March 20, 2018 (1am GMT, March 21, 2018). Of the 3 billion CLIN tokens minted, 600 million will be reserved in the community rewards pool, rewarding users and validators for taking part in and confirming healthy activities. Everyone contributing in the token discount sale will have access to all early buying bonus discounts, with no pre-sales, whitelists or minimums. Once the hard cap is met, an additional 200 million CLIN tokens will be unlocked during the sale, with proceeds donated to global children’s health charities.

About Clinicoin
Clinicoin is a blockchain platform that pays users to be healthy while connecting them with the people who help keep them that way. Building the world’s largest cryptocurrency-based health and wellness community on the planet, the platform is designed to connect users, developers and providers, worldwide, improving global health, wellness and research.

Clinicoin featured in Business Insider

We’re thrilled to have been featured in Business Insider. Read the coverage below.

HEALTH CHAT APP LAUNCHES BLOCKCHAIN POWERED HEALTH PLATFORM: On Thursday, Mosio, a health messaging app that connects patients and doctors, launched Clinicoin, a blockchain-powered platform aimed at encouraging users to engage in healthy behavior. Users are rewarded with Clinicoin’s in-app cryptocurrency, called CLIN tokens, for completing healthy tasks, adhering to their medication regimen, or participating in clinical research. CLIN can then be used to make in-app purchases for things like active-wear, water bottles, and additional services, such as a chatbot that reminds users to take their medication.

“The blockchain offers a way for providers, practitioners, and researchers to confirm compliance and incentivize patients to be more involved in the healthcare process, improving engagement while reducing the costs associated with non-adherence.”

This gamification of consumer-driven healthcare could help to increase adherence to behaviors that positively affect patient health. More so, the use of blockchain technology — a digital ledger — could help improve transparency and drive collaborations within the healthcare industry. “The blockchain offers a way for providers, practitioners, and researchers to confirm compliance and incentivize patients to be more involved in the healthcare process, improving engagement while reducing the costs associated with non-adherence,” Mosio CEO Noel Chandler told Business Insider Intelligence.

Surveys via Text Messaging = Increased Truthfulness

Everyone is texting. With their friends, family, coworkers, and businesses. It’s officially a comfortable communication method, used more than voice calls for the average American mobile user. But did you know it can actually help provide you with more truthful information when conducting surveys?

During elections, we hear about robocalls and the difference between polling companies because they call mobile phones as well as landlines. We consistently think “what about text messaging?” Besides the fact that it is illegal to randomly pick numbers and begin sending them text messages, we think it is a valuable medium for gathering data, especially from more people. Not everyone has a smartphone and even those who do still text.

Well a recent study from the University of Michigan showed not only that text messaging was a great method of gathering data via surveys, but respondents were also actually more truthful in their response. A quote from the researcher “so far it seems that texting may reduce some respondents’ tendency to shade the truth or to present themselves in the best possible light in an interview—even when they know it’s a human interviewer they are communicating with via text.”

This is truly an amazing finding. Text messaging can help offer that additional social buffer of “safety” where another person is concerned and it is a medium that is rooted in personal communications.

If you are looking to offer surveys via text messaging, we can help you design and implement a solution that enables live “text chat” responses with interviewers or automated responses. Let us know what your text messaging survey goals are in a free consultation and we’ll put together a quick quote for you.

Gather data, feedback, and insights with text message surveys.

Mosio’s True Two-Way Text Messaging™ Coverage | 27 Countries and Counting

Mosio’s True Two-Way Text Messaging™ Coverage

What is True Two-Way Text Messaging™?
Many mobile messaging companies claim that they have global text messaging capabilities. While it may be technically accurate, in many cases it requires the end user to text to a UK long code, incurring international text messaging fees, not the best user experience, especially after they get their bill.

Some text messaging companies claim to have two-way text messaging, but their solutions fall short after Keyword Post >> Auto-Reply. While Post and Reply is technically two way text messaging, it doesn’t include conversational, engaging text messaging where staff can have an active “textchat” interaction with their customers, employees or mobile audience.

Mosio’s True Two-Way Text Messaging™ enables organizations to deploy interactive textchat text messaging where the end user is sending and receiving text messages with a number in their country, minimizing the cost to them and our client.

Your staff login to your web-based Mosio dashboard, taking advantage of Mosio’s time saving auto-responders, canned response/answer templates, collaboration-friendly features and our 800+ term “textspeak” translator to quickly translate unknown text messaging acronyms.

Whether you are planning on using two way text messaging for customer support, health services, clinical research or workforce communications, Mosio’s Two-Way Text Messaging platform enables you to communicate efficiently with your mobile users from a system built for active interaction.

Mosio currently offers True Two-Way Text Messaging in 27 countries, listed below.
Pricing can vary slightly from country to country, but is based and closely held to our published plans, which can be found at http://www.mosio.com

Text Messaging News: Beginning today, just text for train ticket, Aid Workers Turn to Text Messaging to Improve Food Aid Delivery to Refugees in the Western Sahara, Text Messaging Remains Vital to Businesses: Survey

Text messaging is always something many believe to be a private matter, and with a new system put in place by Watsonville police, crime-stoppers have managed to take advantage of that line of privacy. Text messages will go through a third party system and then arrive to any police officers on patrol. This new line can be quickly used to give tips to police about new crime they may miss out on, or just to notify the police that something isn’t quite right. We believe that thanks to the high speed nature of texting, this could become a very handy tool.

Text messages help Watsonville police gather anonymous tips

We all need to call the cab from time to time, but this article is the first to make us realize that there really isn’t any other form of public transport that offers this quick ‘order of service.’ A business in India hopes to change this by allowing train passengers to book for tickets before the train’s arrival. It’s easy to imagine that this could make travel by train a whole lot smoother and more convenient for both those working for the train and the passengers. We really hope we see a similar service being adopted worldwide.

This is certainly exciting news. Dr Sajid Hakim, head of the cardiology department at Indus hospital has described what many are starting to call the first “paperless hospital” The Karachi-based hospital has integrated mobile right into the heart of the doctors’ daily work routines, and doctors will now be able to see important information about patients even if they’re not in the hospital at the time. It’s always nice to see technology being used to help save lives, and this hospital, that is primarily run on donations, has created a very heart warming story for itself.

The new age of cardiology: Heartbeats turn digital at country’s first paperless hospital

If you’ve ever wondered how important a role smartphones and wearable fitness gear could play in the world of health, this article certainly explains it well. A lot of patients are using gear like FitBrit or smartphone apps to keep healthy, and doctors would be smart to integrate their own advice and reach out to patients through these devices. Smartphones in particular now play a huge part in our lives, and if you are like many other smartphone owners, it’d be rare to see you without your smartphone close to you or on your person.

Smartphone apps automating customer care work with analytics, reducing workload on staff

Because of the connectedness of smartphone technology, it becomes extremely easy to send, share and view files across large groups of people when everybody has a smartphone in their hand. Enterprises in India are taking advantage of this by offering statistics and information straight to staff smartphones, allowing members of a company to quickly check information whilst doing other tasks. This is helpful for many different areas of business, but this article seems to highlight the potential benefits for jobs in customer service and support.

California goes mobile to educate farm workers on pesticide safety

A system in California has been put in place to help farmers ensure they are safely tending to their crops by providing educational videos readily available on smartphones to teach them about the dangers of mistreating pesticide and the plants they are growing. This system first started by offering farmers with text messages to help them do farming the right way, but this new video approach will help those who prefer to watch instead of read, and is also available in multiple languages to help with farmers who do not speak decent English.

mHealth News: Us smartphone users eager for more mobile health technology: poll, Canadian Hospital Launches Mobile Health App for Veterans with OSIs, Carolinas HealthCare adds mobile app for employees

A new poll finds that the demand for mobile health technology in the US outpaces the supply.

Us smartphone users eager for more mobile health technology: poll

You may think that mhealth is a tech fad that will soon become a dying trend, but many people think that there is a lot of potential lying within mobile health technologies. In fact, the majority of Americans quizzed in a poll are extremely eager to be able to use their smartphones and smart devices to keep track of their own health. We certainly think mhealth could help improve our general well being and keep us as fit and healthy as we all aspire to be and it should help build bridges between general help from doctors and safe self-medication.

Telemedicine, Telehealth, and now mHealth: The Technological Benefits of Mobile Health in Minority Communities

The article above points out that we are all ready for mhealth, but what exactly does mhealth mean? This article provides some very good information on what mhealth is about and how it could help the everyday smartphone owner with his or her health and fitness. It particularly focuses on the United States, but the overall idea of mhealth can easily be adopted worldwide and was actually first used in third world developing countries, and it’s only recently that doctors have seen the benefits of using mhealth in developed countries as well.

Emergency text messages a click away after city implements system

Health reminders by text

mHealth doesn’t have to be all about radical new technology and brand new shiny smartphones. Something as simple as a text message that can be sent to a cheap mobile phone could be considered mHealth, and a text messaging mHealth campaign in Southland and Otago is already on a roll. Those using the service can receive text messages about appointments with general practitioners and can also receive other important information about any medicine or health routines they may need to follow.

Hospital offers parents digital updates on their preemies

Being a first-time parent can be a very demanding experience, and many parents of new born babies often take the leverage of their shoulders by discussing their baby’s health with a doctor. This can be helpful for a parent but it is sometimes inconvenient for doctors and any other patients they may have. A new technology has been made to ensure that parents can get the information they need about their baby’s healthy digitally to help ease the pressure on both the new mother and father and the doctor.

Health App Lets Doctors Offer Advice Via Mobile

As mhealth emerges, there is no doubt that we’ll hit a few snags that may cause issues and problems along the way, but there is also no doubt that mhealth could prove to be a very handy tool for our every day lives. A group of doctors have developed a free mobile app called iTriage that helps patients to keep an eye on their own health conditions and check in with doctors for any help they may need. Doctors can offer advice on a patients health via the app, giving communication between both a patient and a doctor even when neither are in a medical facility.

Mobile Healthcare Technology Making It Easier For Patients and Physicians

A new app allows you to monitor your own blood pressure with a piece of equipment that can be bought for just $89. You’ll be able to make a report of your health with your blood pressure included and then send it straight to your physician who can then check for any signs of health issues and then send another report straight back to you. This allows for a quick method of communication between a patient and a physician and will help to make sure everybody can keep track of their health with ease.

Texting program targets new moms

A new texting program gives tips and information for new upcoming mothers to ensure that they have the best start they need to looking after their first baby. It can be a daunting process, and any help that a mother can get is often needed. The new texting program aims to provide three text messages a week to mothers in New Mexico in the attempt to help mothers keep an eye on the health of themselves and their babies. The texts are also sent out for free, which is always a great thing.

Social Media, Texting Best Ways to Talk to Young People About Mental Illness

Mental health is an issue that in our opinion needs to be discussed with young people more often so that they understand why they may be feeling a certain way when growing up and why they should be considerate of others that may be feeling a certain way as well. It is not often easy to teach young people about certain topics when their minds are often elsewhere, but it seems the best way to communicate about topics such as mental health is through what young people know best- texting and social media platforms.

mHealth News: Mobile phone health schemes ‘could save Europe €200 billion’, EHRs could use an infusion of mobile technology, Canadians eager for more virtual, mobile healthcare solutions

Apps like Bant (shown above), a free app under development by the University Health Network in Toronto, allow Type 1 diabetes patients monitor their blood sugar levels to help manage their condition.

Mobile phone health schemes ‘could save Europe €200 billion’

Not only can mhealth be convenient for both patients and doctors, but it could also prove to be very cost worthy too. This article by the Telegraph states that mobile phone health schemes could save Europe 200 billion euros. The savings are for many reasons but one of the major contributors is because of the ability to shorten the amount of doctors needed within the workplace by allowing patients to keep track of their own health and communicate with doctors outside of medical facilities. This is especially important for the elderly that previously would need to make multiple trips to the doctors to keep an eye on their health.

Hmm, you do look ill. I prescribe a good dose of mobile data

If everybody were to use mobile health applications to help keep track of their own health and fitness, doctors across the world would easily be able to keep track and monitor data on the human race’s overall health, causes for health conditions, and treatments that are most effective. Patients could also benefit from this data by being able to make the most out of the treatments available by knowing exactly what others with similar health conditions do to keep healthy.

Digital Way to Share STD Status Now Available in LAUSD

A new service has been created to help sexually active people have safe sex. Users of the service will be able to share with one another their own status in regards to sexually transmitted diseases straight from their mobile with the tap of a button. This service has been mainly targeted at young people who may not yet understand the importance of having safe sex. By using smartphones to share this information with one another, young people will feel right at home.

Service lets kids report bullying via text message

Bullying is never a nice thing to experience, and many helplines out there are available to help those in need of help. A new service will allow children to quietly report to school officials if they are being bullied or if they’ve witnessed bullying themselves through the use of their own cell phones. Kids will be able to text a number for free to alert teachers about any bullying occurring. We think this is a great step to take as children at school can often feel pressured and too scared to make contact with an adult in person.

Text Messaging News: Flying by Text Message? OMG!, Kalamazoo-area smart phone users warned of tornado threat, Counselling via text messages

Kalamazoo-area smart phone users warned of tornado threat, whether or not they asked to be

Whilst technology is growing to better predict upcoming natural disasters, for many people there’s often not a warning before something actually happens. One solution to this problem is to send out a message to everybody in the area as soon as a natural disaster, such as a tornado, is predicted to hit. That is what happened to an area in America as locals were surprised to find a message received on their smartphones warning them of an upcoming tornado and to seek shelter. Seeing as smartphones are on our personal selves so often, it makes for a perfect use for sending out emergency warnings.

Flying by Text Message? OMG!

Okay, so while texting whilst driving may be considered unsafe, pilots in Canada are turning to their mobile phones more often to send and receive texts while flying. However, instead of chatting with friends or texting home to ask what’s for dinner, pilots are communicating with each other to help them learn of any unpredicted change in flight paths to ensure there aren’t any collisions. This is a bit strange when the opposite happens on the road back down on Earth.
