Overview

Preventing chronic illness through wellness people actually own.

FINAO builds on a blunt statistic: around 80% of chronic illness is preventable. Prevention, though, depends on sustained everyday behaviour, and everyday behaviour generates exactly the kind of personal health data people are least willing to hand over.

Wellness Café addresses both halves at once. Participants create a decentralised identity they control, log activity against it, and earn tokenised rewards for doing so, so the record that makes personalisation possible stays in the participant's custody rather than accruing to a platform.

The programme frames wellness across eight dimensions: physical, spiritual, financial, occupational, environmental, emotional, social and educational, and runs in both virtual and in-person modes, for individuals, employers, schools and government health programmes.

A P0 beta is live with the YMCA and its members across the Pacific Northwest, which is where the model meets real participants rather than a design assumption.

What it uses the graph for

Four things it can prove.

01

Decentralised identity

A participant creates and holds their own identity, so the wellness record is theirs rather than an account inside somebody else's system.

02

Activity tracking with real-time metrics

Virtual and in-person activity is logged against that identity, producing the data personalisation needs without moving custody of it.

03

Tokenised rewards

Incentives are issued as tokens on Rubix, which makes participation portable and the reward ledger independently checkable.

04

AI-driven personalisation

Guidance adapts across the eight wellness dimensions, driven by data the participant has chosen to make available.
