HealthBlocks Rewards Healthy Lifestyles With IoTeX

Nasdaq recently ranked IoTeX as the top 2 out of 5 cryptocurrencies for the future of healthcare. We couldn’t agree more with the importance of blockchain tech to improve healthcare standards. And that’s where the team of health experts behind HealthBlocks is ready to take charge!

“A crucial next step is helping healthcare providers know that there’s an emergency before it’s too late. If something were to happen to an individual at home, or anywhere away from a healthcare facility, these facilities don’t fully know what they’re dealing with until the patient is received... IoTeX, with its existing technology for remote monitoring, is a project that stands to help usher in this solution.” - Nasdaq

Built on IoTeX from the ground up, the HealthBlocks project will reward users for improving their everyday routines to create a healthier lifestyle. Whether it's going for a run or improving your sleep schedule, HealthBlocks rewards you for that healthy behavior. Using the data from fitness wearables, IoTeX delivers a secure and private way for users to take ownership of and monetize their health data. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come in the space of healthcare with the MachineFi initiative.

IoTeX Enables Metaverse and Fractional Ownership of NFTs

Everybody welcome SumoTex to the IoTeX community! SumoTex exclusive NFTs grant users fractional ownership of their investment properties. SumoTex has big plans to incorporate MachineFi into their properties with IoTeX-powered devices and tracking. The goal of the project is to build the first smart city DAO on IoTeX!

SumoTex just landed in the universe of fellow IoTeX-DApp StarCrazy with their purchase of a Planet. This marks their first metaverse real estate acquisition in the IoTeX space! What’s most cool about this purchase is that all the players who are invested in this Glowing Blue Planet NFT will be a part of a DAO. The DAO may collectively decide to host special tournaments on their land, rent it out to other players on occasion, and more.
