Startups in Web3 and the Future of Healthcare and Fitness
Insights from DEFIT and Health Hero founders
Two startups, Health Hero and DEFIT are transforming the fitness industry with their innovative Move-to-Earn concept that allows users to earn rewards and tokens for healthy behavior.
In a recent spotlight, Anthony Diaz, founder and CEO of Health Hero, and Kevin Serou, founder and CEO of DEFIT, shared insights into their unique platforms that aim to inspire healthy habits and improve overall well-being.
Health Hero is a platform that aims to renew the healthcare system and transform how we view our health, emphasizing the importance of spiritual virtues. Using utility tokens as rewards for healthy decisions, the platform enables users to cover their basic needs through move-to-earn and play-to-earn concepts. According to Diaz, "we believe fitness is a tool to find our purpose in the world." The platform has seen significant results in increased physical activity and biometric data, with users walking 14,000+ steps a day.
DEFIT, on the other hand, is a Web3 lifestyle app with inbuilt Game-Fi and Social-Fi elements. The app enhances fitness gamification through blockchain technologies, allowing users to earn tokens and NFTs for leading an active lifestyle. Serou, founder and CEO of DEFIT, highlights the importance of the journey and lifestyle that comes with fitness, saying, "enhancing fitness gamification via blockchain technologies and rewarding its community for leading an active lifestyle" is DEFIT's primary goal. The app has seen tremendous success, becoming a Top 10 project leading the Move-to-Earn trend globally.
Both platforms use web3 technology to incentivize healthy behavior and inspire users to lead an active lifestyle. Web3 technology is a decentralized network that uses blockchain to enable a more secure and private experience, giving users control of their data. Serou explains, "Each recorded fitness activity includes thousands of data entries and precious information. Ultimately we believe our users should own these data and decide whether or not to share it with others, eventually getting rewarded if they choose to do so."
In summary, Health Hero and DEFIT are leading the way in the fitness industry with their move-to-earn concept that combines physical activity and blockchain technology. The platforms' web3 technology ensures privacy and security while incentivizing healthy behavior. As Diaz says, "Our mission is a social impact mission centered on a firm foundation of hope… that's what we're tapping into."
