VDC Coin: A cryptocurrency to power world’s first blockchain based platform form Nutrition

Nutrition and balanced food is the need of everyone in the world. From a toddler running with a fishing rod in a Fiji beach, to an octogenarian living in an assisted living center in Oklahoma, nutrition is everyone’s need and a daily need. Nutrition is an industry – a billion dollar one. But, the big question: is it serving those who really need it?

Let’s look at the some of the horrifying facts about the nutrition as a whole on a global level:

• Two billion of global population suffers from different forms of malnutrition

• 2.6 million children (one third deaths) die every year because of malnutrition

• 25% of children are stunted

• Children malnutrition results into 20% less productivity in working adults

• Undernutrition accounts for 11 per cent of the global burden of disease 

The impact of mal- or under-nutrition is huge. It is not only effecting the global population from First-World-Class-A-city dwellers to nomadic tribes living in remotest of places, it is impacting the global economy also. Yearly investment of US$ 347 million to produce micronutrients to 80 percent of global malnourished population can yield US$ 5 billion in better lifestyle, healthcare and economic growth. But this is controlled and enjoyed by a fortunate few.

A platform to solve nutrition related problem of common people

For both service providers (in the form of nutritionists, dieticians and home-made nutritional product makers) and the service takers that include people from every walk of life what is needed a complete platform to interact. The idea of ViDiCia is based on this idea only. If we look at the high-level aspects of the platform, ViDiCia can be segmented into the following core parts:

Consumer (Service seeker) module: Individuals who need personalized nutrition related consultation, know-how, products or services are regarded as service seekers. A service registers in ViDiCia, enlist requirements through a smart-form and finds out the expert as per his/her need. For satisfactory service, he/she pays the expert using VDC Coin.

Nutritionist (service provider) module: Comprising of profiles, expertise, professional history, achievements and overall identity of nutrition experts, dieticians, trainers/coaches and home-based nutrition product experts. As the user searches for a nutritionist or a service, the ‘intelligent’ mapping system, picks relevant data and maps it to the user’s requirement resulting into the best possible match.

Service Engine Module: At the core of ViDiCia is the service engine that performs all AI-driven searches, mapping, communication management, service process management and host of other tasks for both consumers and nutritionists.
