HiNounou - Token

Tokens Are Rewards

Nounou Tokens are used as loyalty points to reward Seniors for keeping healthy through regular use of the Connected Medical Devices and the HiNounou App in the Home Wellness Kit.

Advanced Security

The HiNounou App comes linked to the Caregivers’ Web App for families to easily track and assist Seniors. The Seniors’ health data is transmitted to HiNounou’s blockchain secured, decentralized Health Data Platform.

Integrated Marketplace

The loyalty points can be redeemed with our Health & Wellbeing Marketplace partners, including AXA and Wabi, providing products and services customized to Seniors’ needs such as insurance, discounts on supplements, nutritious foods, taichi classes, etc.

Incentivizing Wellness

Nounou Tokens encourage consumer retention for participating brands, while also functioning as the incentive for Seniors to maintain their commitment to living healthier.

PROMOTING HEALTHY AGEING

Insurance & Medical Providers

Nounou Tokens help insurance and medical companies, like AXA and PingAn, encourage Seniors to live healthier thereby reducing claims costs, providing solutions to Senior’s current needs, ensuring adoption of medical and health regimes and much more.

Wellness Providers & Research Institutes

Research Institutes and wellness providers have the opportunity to better understand Senior’s conditions by conducting studies for the generation of new insights, e.g. Bayer could conduct studies on risk factors of certain diseases, where Seniors can anonymously participate and be reimbursed with tokens for their time.

Families to Governments

Families and caregivers provide additional incentives in the form of tokens and increased purchasing power for Seniors to live healthier, at home. For governments, healthier Senior citizens, provide for not only healthier economies but also provides opportunities to reduce wellness system costs for their Senior populations.
