The HITL Ministry bridges East and West by converging healthcare, energy efficiency, and digital assets. Through Medicaid in Chicago and HITL workers in Nairobi, telehealth sessions generate Soul Coins™, empowering patients and workers while optimizing global healthcare through the Soul Chain™ platform.
In an era where technology and energy intersect to shape the future of global healthcare, a new paradigm is emerging. Dubbed the HITL Ministry (Human-in-the-Loop Ministry), this initiative is a microcosmic reflection of Western technology infrastructures, adapted to fit the digital realities of the Eastern developing world. As Western markets streamline and downsize, developing regions are on an upsurge, driven by innovations that emphasize efficiency, accessibility, and micro-format solutions. At the heart of this transformation lies the convergence of two essential pillars: healthcare and energy efficiency.
The Zero One Transformation is the conceptual linchpin behind this shift—a digital-to-energy transition where technology reduces waste and increases sustainability. One of the clearest illustrations of this transformation comes from the healthcare sector, where cutting-edge digital infrastructure intersects with traditional models of patient care. Nowhere is this more evident than in the user journeys facilitated by CountyCare, a prominent Medicaid health plan serving Cook County, Illinois.
CountyCare: The Backbone of Accessible Healthcare
CountyCare, the largest Medicaid health plan in Cook County, offers comprehensive, no-cost healthcare services to its members. With a network that boasts over 6,600 primary care providers, 26,000 specialists, 150 urgent care centers, and 70 hospitals, CountyCare represents a formidable force in regional healthcare. As of June 2023, it served approximately 452,293 members, capturing 32.4% of the Medicaid managed care market in Cook County.
CountyCare covers a wide array of services, including:
Doctor and hospital visits
Dental and vision care
Prescription medications
Transportation to and from medical appointments
Additionally, CountyCare offers benefits and rewards designed to promote healthy lifestyles. This vast network and commitment to accessible healthcare position CountyCare as a prime candidate for innovative partnerships, such as those proposed by The Sir Roy G. Biv Foundation Trust’s Healthcare Metaverse™.
The Sir Roy G. Biv Foundation Trust: Building the Healthcare Metaverse™
The Sir Roy G. Biv Foundation Trust (SRGB) envisions a Healthcare Metaverse™ that converges telehealth, energy efficiency, cybersecurity, and financial inclusion. This digital ecosystem relies on a sophisticated blend of APIs, blockchain technology, and AI/ML models to deliver healthcare services seamlessly across geographies.
One potential use case demonstrates the transformative potential of this initiative: a telehealth mental health session for a CountyCare member with autism, facilitated via SRGB’s Soul Chain™ and its native currency, Soul Coin™. To understand the significance, let’s explore the dual-user journeys of two similar personas—one in Chicago, Illinois, USA, and the other in Nairobi, Kenya—and how they access these services through converging yet distinct digital pathways.
Imagine a CountyCare member in Chicago initiating a mental health therapy session via telehealth. The interaction takes place on a desktop or smartphone supported by familiar operating systems—MacOS, Windows, iOS, or Android—and utilizes cloud services hosted by AWS, GCP, or Azure. During the session, the provider leverages neuroimaging data enhanced by AI/ML models to refine their assessment and recommendations.
The AI models, critical to this interaction, are supported by a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) worker based in Nairobi. This worker labels and updates neuroimages, adding nuanced insights that improve the algorithm’s accuracy. Their expertise is informed by personal stakes: their child is also living with autism, covered under a local Medicaid-equivalent plan in Kenya. This parallel reveals the deeply human connections shaping global healthcare transformations.
A Tale of Two Users: Chicago and Nairobi
Persona 1: CountyCare Member in Chicago, USA
Name: Alex
Location: Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, North America
Diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Alex, a CountyCare member, initiates a telehealth mental health session with an in-plan mental health provider. The session takes place on SRGB’s Soul Chain™, leveraging secure digital infrastructure supported by major cloud providers such as AWS, GCP, or Azure.
The User Journey:
Device & OS: Alex uses an iPhone (iOS) or a MacBook (macOS) to access the telehealth platform.
API Calls: The APIs handle patient data requests, authentication, and real-time communication, hosted across multiple cloud services.
Data Access: The provider accesses Alex’s patient data, including neuroimages of his brain, to enhance the session’s efficacy.
AI/ML Support: AI models analyze the neuroimages to assist in diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Support: A HITL worker verifies and updates the image labels, ensuring accuracy and relevance.
Digital Asset Creation: Upon completing the session, a digital asset is generated via the HITL Ministry and deposited into Alex’s Soul Coin™ wallet.
This session reflects seamless interoperability between Western technologies (Apple, AWS) and the SRGB ecosystem. The secure, efficient exchange of data empowers Alex and his provider to achieve better health outcomes.
Persona 2: HITL Worker's Child in Nairobi, Kenya
Name: Tafari
Location: Nairobi, Nairobi City County, Kenya, Africa
Diagnosis: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (Child)
Sarah, a HITL worker for a SRGB partner, such as Siemens Healthineers, is responsible for updating and labeling neuroimages used in telehealth sessions like Alex’s. Her child, Tafari, also has autism and receives healthcare services through a Medicaid-like plan in Kenya.
The User Journey:
Device & OS: Sarah uses a smartphone running a Chinese OS (e.g., HarmonyOS) or an Indian OS variant.
API Calls: The session APIs are hosted on Chinese or Indian cloud providers, reflecting regional digital infrastructures.
Data Access: Sarah’s provider accesses her child’s neuroimages via the SRGB platform, similar to Alex’s provider.
AI/ML Support: AI models enhance diagnostics, with Sarah contributing to their accuracy through HITL support.
Digital Asset Creation: Completing the session generates a Soul Coin™ asset deposited into Tafari’s wallet, funded by grants from the payer institutions in her market and those located in the regions that she supports as well as other stakeholders , such as Siemens Healthineers.
In this scenario, the infrastructure differs significantly from Alex’s journey. Tafari’s session relies on Eastern-oriented devices, operating systems, and cloud providers. However, the outcome is the same: efficient, secure healthcare delivery and financial empowerment via Soul Coin™ ownership.
