Immunity building by healthy society

At this point we have clear knowledge and understanding of the role of our health condition towards our body resistance for outbreaks like Coronavirus. Since the majority of people have poor health condition at this moment, it is safe to say that any methods we took measure to make the public follow healthy life style until this moment has not worked and it is about time to design new approach. This approach cannot be the same for every unhealthy product the public consumes because each product have different kind of end users with different market structure. So we need to design new approach for each unhealthy product.  

One of the main products that make the general public unhealthy is junk foods. Junk food is used to describe food and drinks low in nutrients (e.g. vitamins, minerals and fibre) and high in kilojoules, saturated fat, added sugar and/or added salt. They are also known as discretionary choices because people consume them beyond the reason of survival like pleasure, comfort, recreation, addiction and others even if it brings negative effect to their health. One way of solving this project is redesigning the junk food like less salt, less sugar and so on. But this has big negative impact on the preference of end users because most of the consumers like the taste of the junk food because one of the main pleasure they get from consuming junk food is the taste of the salty or sugary part of the food and changing that will be the same as killing the market. And killing the market is not an option because almost all junk food manufacturing companies either they are packaged or fast food employ big number of people creating jobs, have large market size in money flow and so on. 

New  database for junk food supplying companies especially for the fast foods that have linkage between the medical records of end users with their consumption rate and volume of the junk food. Meaning, now a days medical record of peoples are digitalized on hospitals and this records can be accessed by internet connection for authorized peoples. This new mechanism create link between the medical database of end users with the fast food database and when people buy junk food like burger or some other junk food; it checks the medical condition of the end user via the networked medical database, the last time the end user bought junk food via the database of the fast food supplying company, the volume of the junk food the end user bought via the database of the fast food supplying company and the recommended data of consumption of the specific ordered junk food for the specific end user health condition who is ordering the junk food. When this algorithm finds everything in order it will allow the purchase to go ahead but if the purchase finds to harm the end user’s health it will block the purchase order saving their customers life.

This process will take seconds to process and deliver depending on the infrastructure of the country’s capacity and quality.  In order for this system to work, the end user is given individual personal identity card to give the cashier along with the payment he/ she give for the fast food whenever he/ she purchase the junk food. This personal card is used to know the identity of the end user by swiping the card in to the database of the fast food supplier by the cashier like visa or master card.

This will create new accountability in the fast food industry  and save the life of the masses by insuring their health condition that will save them from outbreaks like the Corona virus.       

So, experts give advice on maintaining your health condition in two way when you consume junk food;

If you are in healthy condition, try to eat junk food occasionally in limited amount.

If you are in unhealthy condition and trying to control it; limit your consumption of junk food at lower rate and amount that the healthy conditioned peoples.

Both of the advice involves consuming limited amount of junk food over some specific time period but again the masses of people does not follow this advice not because they are not aware of the risk but because they do not have dedication to monitor their consumption and even if they monitor their consumption, they will not act accordingly. And this project will bring this consumption monitoring combined with a restriction means on the consumption rate and amount of junk food. 

This solution will decrease the vulnerability of the public for any pandemic outbreak that may come in the future by increasing their immunity system via healthy food consumption. Also, It will create sense of accountability in food supply chain insuring the health and wellbeing of their customers that will help them live longer and safer.

This would make its adoption much easier of other solutions in this market.

Most of Software application for healthy life style depends mainly on the end-user only. But within our solution it depends on complete Ecosystem with multiple entities.

All life style Apps were relying on the End-user maturity to decide whether to follow a healthy diet or not whereas, our solution approves the junk food consumption when the threshold/ risk factor for junk food for this user is not passed yet.

We will build a connected database installed in every junk food supplier’s shop that has linkage and access to medical record of food supplier's customers and data that can show when the last time the specific customer purchased/ consumed the specific junk food he/ she ordered and do a calculation either to allow or block the purchase order according to the recommended consumption rate of the specific junk food ordered for the specific customer’s health condition. 

This solution utilize widely used and accepted technology of standard data collection, analyze and interpretation used in current technology of data science. This technology has been used and still in used in most market we know that uses internet data connected by servers and user all over the world. This and many other already used technologies should act as an evidence for the efficiency that this mechanism works. 

Lower immunity system = Higher Venerability to pandemic outbreak

Elder people with chronic illness and peoples with low immunity system have the highest risk of death of COVID-19 and other lethal viruses. This pandemic revealed that the vulnerable people are in high risk.

China experience showed that the risk can be contained

The reports showed that using Immunity Boosting medications/ Nutrition vulnerable people can enhance their tolerance to such a fierce virus. On the long-term plan the vulnerable people percentage can be lower by following this proposed solution.

The out come of this project can be simply described in a one graph as seen below

Current number of people serving- 0

The number of people serving in one year- 100,000 – 500,000

The number of people serving in five years- 2,500,000 – 10,000,000

We are planning to launch the product in the next year serving in small specific city with good infrastructure.   

In five years we will expand in multiple cities of different countries of the world. 

This project has only two barriers that threaten its success and those are;

The willingness of junk food suppliers to use this mechanism and

Privacy issue in sharing medical record of customers in database of junk food shop

The two barriers can be overcomed by successful implementation of the mechanism in one city. Meaning demonstration of the working mechanism of the project and its outcome implemented and shown will be a big comfort and selling point for implementation of the project in other locations. But this requires the permission of a one specific area to be implemented.

We do not have any partners at this time. 

This project has four stakeholders

The general public - The general public will be able to maintain their health condition that will lead to higher immunity which saves their lives from possible pandemic outbreak in the future.

Health insurance - Health insurance companies will save a lot of money as a result of better public immunity system because they will spend less money for people's health care.  

Fast food supply chain - Transforms the standard way of doing business in fast food supply chain into better new way that ensures their customers live longer to invest in their product for longer time frame increasing their profit.

MoH & other Governmental Heath entities  - MoH & other governmental health entities will save a lot of resources, save lot of energy and work as a result of better public immunity system and they can allocate the saved resources for other use.

This project creates new kind of Value-chain model that generate profit from ensuring wellbeing of the public. Whereas, the main source of profit would be through direct cut-offs for the Health Insurance Expenses, and longer Policy lifetime.  

Our income will be payment from Health insurance and MoH & other Governmental Heath entities because they will be benefited directly since their expense for public health will decreased. 

We are applying because we need capital to build a prototype and start our business in a specific area. 

I have invented more than 20 solution for solving the Coronavirus crisis which you can see via my MIT link

And many more but I have decided it's easier to pursue one project that have big impact and can make a difference in the future.

We could use any help we can get.

We like to partner with health insurance companies, database companies and any company who is interested in the project.
