AMMDI is an open-notebook hypertext writing experiment, authored by Mike Travers aka mtraven. It's a work in progress and some parts are more polished than others. Comments welcome! More.
This was another Protocols/Symposium 2025 exercise, I forget which session. It's a whole business plan! Too bad I'm too lazy to start a company. Not going to bother pasting the whole thing this time; you can read it here Some highlights:
Elevator Pitch
Asclepios is a personal health agent that acts as both an AI health coach monitoring your biometrics and lifestyle patterns and a smart broker that negotiates medical services by matching you with optimal providers through a decentralized health protocol network based on verified outcomes data and peer experiences.
Scenario
Maya, a 34-year-old freelance designer, interacts with her personal health agent Asclepios through her spatial computer interface as she navigates a minor but persistent digestive issue. Asclepios, drawing from both Maya's continuous biometric data and the decentralized Global Health Protocol Network, first coaches her through elimination diet protocols and stress management techniques while simultaneously scanning the network for specialists in her bioregion who have successfully treated similar cases. The agent negotiates directly with providers using Maya's health tokens, comparing not just costs but treatment success rates, patient satisfaction scores, and protocol compliance—all verified through the blockchain health commons. When Maya's symptoms persist, Asclepios brokers a consultation with Dr. Chen, a gastroenterologist whose treatment protocols have shown 87% efficacy for Maya's symptom cluster, while also connecting her with a peer support group of three other network members who've successfully resolved similar issues. Throughout the process, Asclepios maintains Maya's health sovereignty by ensuring all data remains in her personal health vault, while contributing anonymized insights back to the protocol network to help future patients—creating a regenerative health commons where personal health agency and community knowledge amplify each other.
Dealing with trust issues
Here are trust-building rituals and signals that could strengthen this health system:
Provider Trust Rituals
Proof of Care Ceremonies: Monthly community gatherings where providers present anonymized case studies and receive peer feedback, creating accountability through public practice review
Skin in the Game Staking: Providers lock health tokens as collateral for outcomes - poor results forfeit stakes to a patient compensation fund
Open Practice Protocols: Providers live-stream consultations (with consent) or maintain public decision logs, creating radical transparency
Continuing Education Rituals: Mandatory participation in protocol network learning sessions, with community-witnessed skill updates
Patient Community Rituals
Health Journey Sharing: Structured storytelling sessions where recovered patients guide newcomers through treatment paths, building experiential trust
Peer Verification Circles: Small groups that validate each other's health improvements and provider experiences before they enter the broader network
Collective Care Protocols: Community members commit to checking on each other during treatment, creating mutual accountability
