Lack of health care access in the most industrialized parts of the world can take days to weeks to get appointments and include long waits when you do make it into an office. In other parts of the world, doctor accessibility can take weeks to months and result in causing treatable medical ailments to turn into long-term disease.

Dokita stands for “Doctor” in many countries in the continent of Africa, and 24/7 means our doctors are available to you for consultation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Dokita247 is a “Lifestyle” company that has developed a Telemedicine solution that allows a user instant access to to see board-certified doctors, anywhere in the world at anytime. Users can obtain a diagnosis and/or prescription-referral within minutes of logging on, all without leaving home or work.

Dokita247 is on track to become the largest and most comprehensive Telemedicine company in the world by eventually having doctors in every country. We aim to be the nations first and largest Telehealth platform, delivering on-demand healthcare anytime, anywhere, via mobile devices, the internet, video and phone.

The medical industry has evolved quickly with the addition of telecommunications infrastructure. The transition from analog to digital record keeping has occurred in phases, and currently the trends are accelerating towards integrating more technology into the medical practice. With this increased integration, disenfranchised and rural populations will be able to leverage technology to access healthcare without physically commuting.

Dokita247 is a telemedicine application that leverages smart phones and SMS communication to connect medical providers with potential patients. The platform also serves as a metadata collection system, which allows users and providers to confidentially sell medical information to HMOs. The platform also plans to utilize blockchain technology to add the most advanced se-curity protocol to protect sensitive data while still allowing encrypted communications and transactions to occur between parties.

The Dokita247 team has created DokitaCoins to represent the Decentralized Autonomous Telehealth Atlas (DATA). The tokens will serve multiple functions within the platform depending on which access control point is being utilized. Four different basic user types have been identified to shape the client facing portals.

The four portals will be dedicated to doctors looking to provide service, patients looking to get service and sell data to HMOs, HMOs looking to purchase patient data, and individuals looking to donate healthcare to an individual in need. The DokitaCoin will allow users to access these four entry points and also receive discounted rates for service or the purchase of data.

DokitaCoin and DATA together will serve as a health exchange over which transactions can be made securely, following legal standards, and in the process establish a reward mechanism for all users in-volved. DokitaCoin as a token within the DATA network serves multiple functions. It gives users the consistent discount of 17%. This translates into a 17% discount on service or 17% discount on data. Since DokitaCoins will have a free-floating value on the market, tokens purchased from the market will have a different point of entry than tokens purchased directly from Dokita247.

Being first in the telemedicine market, Dokita247 aims to initially create revenue from the top 100 cor-porations in each of the 55 African counties who subscribe to the telemedicine service. Within the United States the market value of telemedicine is set to hit $36.2 billion by 2020, up from $14.3 billion in 2014. Dokita247 is the “first mover” within the African telemedicine market and in therefore in a po-sition to garner significant market share.

DokitaCoin and the D.A.T.A. network will enable the Dokita247 team to take telemedicine even further with an expanded set of technological capabilities. Through a combination of smart contracts, block-chain technology, and a network of accredited medical providers, the Dokita247 network is set to be-come the first global telehealth platform that will have proactive and reactive medicine available to all.
