Core software components available on dHealth networks provide the building blocks for a blockchain-based token economy which aligns the incentives among ecosystem participants and allows for the secure and transparent payment processes. DeFi is entering healthcare and enables the linkage of capital and liquidity to specifically defined healthcare outcomes certified by independent oracles.

Liquidity locked into specific outcomes through DeFi protocols not only can earn a passive income, but allow for a return on investment assurance through performance based pricing mechanisms, thus reducing the risk and increasing the incentive to invest into specific healthcare outcomes and enable the automated settlement of payments for outcomes.

In combination, liquidity backed outcome tokens can be turned into tradable assets, which in turn facilitates the allocation of capital to healthcare outcomes both in mature and emerging markets.
