HealthChain: Decentralized Health Insurance Platform
By seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technologies, HealthChain offers an inclusive and secure solution that transforms the health insurance landscape.
Microfinance Insurance: HealthChain pioneers microfinance-based insurance, empowering users to subscribe to insurance packages that align with their unique needs and financial capacity.
Collateralized Preventive Care: The platform introduces an ingenious approach – collateralized insurance for preventive care. Users are incentivized to embrace healthier lifestyles, fostering well-being while enjoying the benefits of insurance coverage.
Digital Identity Authentication: Spruce ID takes center stage, ensuring swift and secure authentication of user identities. This feature guarantees data privacy and expedites onboarding processes.
Credit Insurance with Union Credit Protocol: HealthChain partners with the Union Credit Protocol to assess users' creditworthiness. This collaboration results in credit insurance that makes health coverage accessible to a broader population.
Blockchain Technology: HealthChain harnesses the power of blockchain technology to establish transparency, immutability, and trust in insurance operations. Users can rely on tamper-resistant records and streamlined processes.
Payment with Digital Currencies: Embracing financial inclusion, HealthChain allows users to pay insurance premiums using digital currencies. This approach eliminates barriers associated with traditional payment methods.
Arbitrum and SORT Blockchain: HealthChain takes advantage of Arbitrum, a Layer 2 scaling solution, to enhance transaction efficiency and affordability. Additionally, the integration of the SORT blockchain enhances security and data integrity.
By converging microfinance, preventive care incentives, digital identity, credit insurance, blockchain technology, and digital payments, HealthChain stands as a beacon of hope in the quest for equitable and accessible health insurance for all.

To run the HealthChain project locally, follow these steps:
Clone this repository to your local machine.
Install the necessary dependencies using npm install.
Configure your development environment with Ethereum client and web3 provider.
Deploy the smart contracts using the provided Solidity code.
Update the ABI and contract addresses in the JavaScript files.
Start a local server to run the HTML files.
Updating Credit Score: Use the "Update Credit Score" feature to update a user's credit score. Enter the user's address and the new credit score, then click "Update Credit Score".
Checking Creditworthiness: Use the "Check Creditworthiness" feature to check a user's creditworthiness. Enter the user's address, requested amount, income, and employment status, then click "Check Creditworthiness". The result will indicate whether the user is creditworthy.
contracts/: This directory contains your Solidity smart contracts. Each contract has its own .sol file. In HealthChain, you might have contracts like InsuranceContract.sol, UnionCreditProtocol.sol, and more.
src/: This directory holds your frontend source files. In this example, it contains index.html, app.js, and styles.css. These files are responsible for the user interface of your decentralized health insurance platform.
scripts/: This directory could contain various deployment scripts if you're using a tool like Hardhat for Ethereum contract deployment. The deploy.js script, for example, might deploy your smart contracts to the Ethereum blockchain.
tests/: Here, you can write your automated tests for your smart contracts. The tests/ directory contains test scripts for each contract, like InsuranceContract.test.js and UnionCreditProtocol.test.js.
package.json: This is the configuration file for your Node.js/npm project. It lists your project's dependencies and other metadata.
hardhat.config.js: If you're using Hardhat for Ethereum development, this is the configuration file where you set up your network settings, compilers, and more.
README.md: The README file for your project, containing information about the project, how to set it up, how to use it, and more.
LICENSE: The license file for your project. In this example, it's the GNU General Public License v3.0.
