<u>Background</u>

The UNDP states that the world is off-track to achieve the health-related SDGs (sustainable development goals). At least 400 million have no basic healthcare and 40 percent lack social protection.

As they have set new goal targets by 2030, a solid health tech infrastructure must be set up to add more foundation and be part of the building blocks to achieving them.

<u>Health Tech Infrastructure</u>

Hippocrades has already built this for local or national governments to quickly create and deploy a robust health tech infrastructure in their jurisdictions. In addition, they can also add health applications on top of it so they do not have to build it from scratch.

Current health apps available in the Hippocrades platform include electronic medical records (EMR), clinic management, and pharmacy management systems.

However, <u>to complete the availability of apps, a hospital management system can be added</u> which will be very convenient for target users. Local hospitals, for example, can use this and at the same time integrated it into the health platform of the local health office. This makes health data interoperable but at the same time secure and private.

<u>A Modern Hospital System</u>

This hospital management system is Web3.0 ready, it is secure, interoperable, and integrates with the Cardano blockchain.

Challenge: Decentralized Infrastructure Solutions for Nations

Hippocrades is perfectly fit for this challenge since it has built a health infrastructure for which nations and governments can quickly deploy. As a funded project here in Catalyst, we continuously improve and optimize Hippocrades which is actually an existing platform already.

See sample deployment of a dApp here. You can now start building your own dApp too!

<u>Hospital App Inside Hippocrades</u>

The proposed hospital solutions will be a part of the Hippocrades platform that will be released for the healthcare community to use. This way any nations or healthcare organizations implementing this healthcare infrastructure would no longer have to build a separate hospital application or solution.

<u>Health Core is Already Built</u>

The core of this healthcare platform is DONE, something we have been working on since 2016. Thus, the foundation is already set up, we just need to build the Hospital App on top of this.

This is the documentation of the Healthcare APIs that will be expanded from which the hospital system will be built.

<u>Potential Risk</u>

In terms of capabilities, our team has shown that we can deliver. The potential challenge could be the setting of the deliverables timeline. There are some external factors that are sometimes overlooked during planning. For example, in our last project, we didn't anticipate that a couple of our team members will get Covid so this derailed our original timeline, although, we were able to still deliver accordingly.

To mitigate this, we will propose a more conservative timeline of activities in this proposal which will consider similar factors as mentioned above.

Months 1 - 2

• Review of System Architecture (Hippocrades is a platform with multiple modules, use cases, and intricacies)
• Research, interview hospital resource persons
• Gathering of required materials (forms, workflows, etc.)

Months 3 - 5

• Start of development* (backend)
• Start of development* (front end)
• regular QA for updates/deployment of weekly deliverables

* Development is based on the stated modules and features above

Month 6

• Development adjustments and optimizations
• QA & Internal testing
• Alpha Release
• Testing from target users (feedback sessions)

Month 7

• Development adjustments and optimizations
• Release of version 1.0
• Deployment and availability in Hippocrades infrastructure

<u>Project Lead (1)</u>

• 7 months @ $ 1.5T / month
• $ 10.5T

<u>System Analyst and Designer</u>

• 3 months (spread) @ $ 3T/month
• $ 9T

<u>Backend Senior Developers (2)</u>

• 4 months (spread) @ $3T / month
• $ 24T

<u>Front End Developers (2)</u>

• 4 months (spread) @ $2.5T / month
• $ 20T

Total 63,500

Team Summary

Our team has been building healthcare solutions since 2016. We have built Hippocrades, a decentralized healthcare infrastructure for web 3.0. It has been funded by Project Catalyst and is now part of the Ariob Incubator / Iceaddis program in Africa (this is in partnership with Cardano).

Core Tech Team

We are a 10 man team and also have a pool of tech consultants that we can tap on a project basis. This project will be lead by the following:

Dale is the founder of Hippocrades and the co-author of its whitepaper. He also founded a health tech startup, MYCURE, and healthcare APIs platform HAPI Hub. Prior to these startups, he also founded and run Team OPS (a soft dev company) for 11 years. He graduated with the highest distinction in his master's class at the University of the Philippines and also took a one-year graduate program in management at Harvard University.

Ian has worked mostly in health tech, producing comprehensive information management systems. He has a strong physics background, having studied it in his undergrad. He has since been developing software, with a knack for technical complexity and the cutting edge. His analytical nature, combined with a natural yearning to make complex systems simple and elegant, allows him to work with deeply technical concepts and turn them into products for the everyday user. His latest work revolves around zero-knowledge proofs, blockchain, and their applications in health-tech.

Ian's Areas of Expertise:

• Application Development
• Web Development
• React
• VueJS
• HTML, CSS, Javascript
• Linux
• Rust
• Applied Physics

Joff has been programming and focusing on web development using JavaScript in the past 9 years (since 2012). Most of his time is spent mastering frontend development using AngularJS, Angular, and Vue.js frameworks. Currently, he is dabbling on SvelteJS. He is passionate on contributing to the open-source community. Being a big fan of Vue.js, his projects are mostly based on Vue.js or JavaScript.

Nad is a natural geek growing up. He has been coding since the art has been introduced to him at age 15. This has led him to choose Computer Science as his undergraduate degree at the top university in the country. Since 2016, he is mostly involved in designing healthcare systems—developing APIs like EMRs and full scale health information management solutions.

Nad's Areas of Expertise:

• System Analysis & Design
• API Development
• Kubernetes
• gRPC
• Blockchain
• Zero-knowledge cryptography protocols
• Programming Languages: C, Javascript, Rust, Go

Principles Applied During Development

In the last 5 years that we have been building healthcare apps, we have been applying the following below:

• Stable code (to minimize application downtime)
• Simple code (simplicity is key, the simpler it is the faster to test and change)
• Testable code (acts like documentation so that changes will immediately show errors)
• Team velocity (story points delivered per sprint)
• Knowledge share (collaborative meetings and proper documentation)

Tasks and deliverables of the Dev Team are placed in GitHub from which we track, monitor, manage activities that are pending, ongoing, and done.

Success During Development

Modules and features are listed accordingly that contain the tasks/activities required and their corresponding due dates to accomplish each.

We monitor success by ticking off each task done per module. For delayed items, these are regularly brought up in daily standups and weekly meetings to discuss blockings/issues and what needs to be done to address them.

Success as a Project

Once the Hospital App is deployed and becomes available in the Hippocrades infrastructure for users to manage, this is considered DONE.

Hippocrades as an Infrastructure and Platform

Hippocrades is more than just an app, it's a health infrastructure and platform that other developers can use to build more healthcare apps. It also has apps that are independent of each other but can be used altogether (or in combination) depending on the needs of the deployer.

Following are the funded proposals by Catalyst that are part of the Hippocrades ecosystem:

• Integration of Health Infra to Cardano blockchain here
• Pharmacy Management System here
• Vaccine Management Platform here
