The plants, animals, elements, healers and healing wisdom necessary to revolutionize healthcare exists. All that is needed is a technology platform and the business infrastructure necessary to integrate these healing resources into a community operated, community owned holistic healthcare network that people can access centrally, but experience locally. As such, Lichen's platform is organized to support individuals throughout each phase of the horizontal healing process:

Central

Central is an open platform that educates the public about holistic healing, connects clients to the treatment they need to heal, and clinicians to the training they require to grow. Members can:

• Navigate the platform based on the aspects of health that interest them
• Filter results by the type of information they're seeking
• Further refine results by the Practices, Symptoms, and/or Treatment
• Discover educational content, training, treatment and research that is recommended by the peers and professionals they trust

Local

Local provides Business Pages and Practitioner Profiles provide individuals and organizations with a no-cost website alternative/supplement that connect local organizations and practitioners to clients in their community.

Members can leverage Geo-Enabled search to identify local education, training, treatment and research options in their area, which can be further refined by peer, and/or professional recommendations to streamline the referral process. In addition:

• Insurance information, Web of Wellbeing Assessments and Kaleidoscope of Care Treatment Plans can be shared between clients and practitioners to streamline collaboration across the continuum of care
• A central fund for training and treatment scholarships is available for members who cannot afford the recommended care or training they need

Network

Each member's Kaleidoscope of Care is available to them as a digital care plan, which updates along with their progress. Practitioners will also have access to a Kaleidoscope of Training Plan, so they can continue to grow as healers with support from the wisdom of the network.

Each individual's Web of Wellbeing© tracks Qualitative, Physiological, Pathological, Energetic, Transpersonal, Social, Demographic and Environmental health factors, over time. In aggregate, Lichen's Database has the capacity to identify care optimizations at the individual level, while monitoring and addressing shifts in wellbeing at the population level. Clients can overlay their Lichen WOW with data that they import from the western medical system, to get a more complete picture of their health and optimize their healing.

Clients decide whether they want their individual data used to help automate care recommendations based on platform level insights and optimization. They also decide whether their data can be included in internal, and/or approved, 3rd party research. All research including external data is double blind and will be performed via a 3rd party to ensure the data privacy of all involved. All revenue from data monetization flows back to support network expansion.
