What is Lympo?

The fitness and wellness industry has seen a major boom since the wide adoption of smartphones. Nowadays most people don’t just work, many also track their progress through the use of their smart phones, wearables and accompanying fitness apps.

Although this data is being willing collected by millions of users around the world, much of it is not yet being leverage. However, Lympo employs blockchain technology to make it possible for users to monetize their data, and make it available to all those in the health and fitness industry who may be able to utilize the information of a wide range of applications.

In 2016 the number of mHealth apps more and doubled, and the number of app store downloads tilled up to a massive 3.2 billion. This adds up to a lot of a data, data that is currently, for the most part, going unused. Lympo aims finally leverage this data by allowing everyone, from personal trainers, gyms, sports apparel and healthy food producers to health insurers and even companies looking to incentivize employees to maintain an active lifestyle, the opportunity to benefit from the cross-platform fitness and wellness data exchange.

What problems does Lympo solve?

Currently all the data collected by the large number of different mHealth apps is not cross compatible and prior to the development of Lympo, there exists no single platform where users can go to access such data. Lympo provides the means of interconnecting these existing apps, as well as any future apps, and also introduces a reward mechanism that encourage users to share their data, and participate in the maintenance of the platform.

Market segmentation and lack of incentive to integrate leaves a large gap in the market. Resolving these issues would lead to the development of new wave of applications and services that could dramatically improve the health and fitness industry, provide better analysis and results for data-driven sports, and also improve medical care, and insurance policies.

How does Lympo work?

Lympo utilizes the anonymous, distributed architecture of the blockchain to manage the exchange of data and securely store transaction records. This allows users to access all data generated on the network, and a record of all previous transactions of data exchanged is stored on each users system.

Personal health data is not stored on the blockchain itself, instead it is kept on servers, or nodes, thorough the peer-to-peer network. The blockchain only serves as the payment and processing tool to transact the exchange of data.

All data on and off-chain is encrypted when storing, exchanging and viewing. The end-to-end encryption can only be unmasked when two trusted parties approve.

Transactions are carried out by smart contracts that are tied to the blockchain in order to execute specific actions when certain conditions are met. This replaces the function of most middlemen and intermediary services, thus reducing the need for human input and in turn, lowering costs as well as the risk of errors.

User generated data can be complied from many resources including smart phone health apps, hospital and medical records, an gyms/fitness centers where clients are tracked with wearables and other electronic fitness devices.

Technology behind Lympo

Lympo will initially unit more than 500 fitness professionals, and later expand to incorporate a large network of sports, health and wellness goods and services providers.

User-generated, user-controller data from mHealth and fitness apps will be exchanged using a predetermined value of LYM utility tokens. The goal is create an ecosystem within which all participants are rewarded fairly.

Lympo consists of three major modules, the marketplace, the user-reward system and the crowd funding platform, as well as three components, the Lympo platform, the blockchain, and the user community.

The three core modules are:

The marketplace: This will contain listings of all goods and services on the platform, it will also allow for premium listings, as well as aftersales add-ons like reminders and health advice. It will serve as the market entry tool for the user-generated data with the goal to expand with more partners accepting LYM tokens.

The user reward system: Users are rewarded in LYM tokens for sharing their data with others. A unique feature of the rewards programs allows personal trainers and coaches to incentivize clients to meet targets and receive tokens for their efforts.

Crowd funding platform: This is the investment platform that enables LYM token holders to invest promising fitness/wellness/health start-ups. Opportunities will receive rating from major sports, health and fitness, and wellness market players, access to the large database will also help immediately get new ideas, products and services into the hands of potential customers, clients, users, etc.

Three main components are:

Lympo Platform: These are the core components, developed by the Lympo team and partners that form the platform itself.

Blockchain: Lympo is built on the Ethereum blockchain, and uses smart contracts to exceute transactions, LYM tokens to fund transactions and ties in crypto wallets for use on the platform.

User community: The community is made up of activate members who become part of the ecosystem to find trainers, partners, make agreements, share data and get rewarded.

Actors (Users) on Lympo

The platform is geared towards all health conscious people, who may choose to use the system as one of 4 types of ‘actors’. Depending on the user position in the market, be that as a company, head of a sports team/facility, or as an individual wishing to get more out of their workout regime. Actors on the Lympo platform may include:

Data Owners

Individuals who want to improve their physical condition, share their data and be rewarded for doing so. These users will create most of the data on the network, and retain full control over it.

Trainers/Physicians/Sports Inventory Makers/Gyms

Trainers and physicians will also be able to utilize user data to help meet targets and to construct more effective workouts. In addition they will be able to create reward programs to incentivize clients to meet their targets.

Date Proxy Companies

Using the Lympo API third-party companies will be encouraged to developed additional solutions for fitness/wellness data aggregated by the platform. These data centers may not use the data themselves, but would instead act as a resource for others to easily obtain data.

Data Processing Companies

Another third-party actor on the platform, data processing companies serve to analyze the data to detect habits and trends and to proposed new ideas or better processes for a range of health related programs. They may also utilize the open API to develop solutions, however the team thinks it more likely that data proxy companies will be responsible for the development of solutions, whereas data processing companies will spend time devising new insurance plans and more convenient pricing models for other subscription services.

Security Measures

Although fitness and wellness data is not as sensitive as medical records, and thus does not fall under HIPAA legislation, the platform still boasts the highest-level of security using the latest cyber practices.

All data on the platform is encrypted using a modern algorithm, and all communications are protected by TLA. The database is only open to a select few with access credentials, who will be audited and rotated often.

Periodic checks will be made on the system to identify and possibly prevent any technical issues. The database will be backed up in a timely manner, and the team will also establish a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) and Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) to assist in the event of any serious problems.

Data will be sorted on HIPAA compliant cloud hosted servers from service providers such as AWS, and security measures will be built-in from the ground up. The system architecture will also undergo periodic audit and testing by security experts looking to uncover bugs and other potential issues.

Finally, security measure will be extended to all users of the platform, who may take the opportunity to enter the private bug-bounty program in which white-hat hackers may ‘attack’ the system to detect any problems not picked up by the team and security auditors.
