How Decentralized Governance Could Revolutionize Healthcare Access and Innovation

Описание: Welcome back to Health Unlocked! In this thought-provoking episode, host Jasen Petersen dives deep into the future of healthcare innovation and governance. Building on last season’s discussions of cellular genesis and wound healing breakthroughs, they tackle the tough questions: What stands in the way of revolutionary technologies like IBAL reaching everyone who needs them? And how do you protect life-changing research from being absorbed into profit-driven models that limit patient access?

The conversation explores decentralized healing, community-based governance through DAOs (decentralized autonomous organizations), and the role of nonprofits like the Ionic Alliance Foundation. Listeners will gain insight into the challenges posed by traditional funding structures: venture capital, pharma, benefit corporations, and discover why Jasen Petersen believes DAOs could be the key to shifting control away from extractive industries and toward patient-focused innovation.

If you’re intrigued by the intersection of blockchain, healthcare, and mission-driven science, this episode lays out the principles behind a more transparent, equitable future where the community, not just shareholders or board members, decides how medical advances are developed and delivered. Tune in as Health Unlocked unpacks why decentralized governance could transform how technology reaches the world, making healing accessible for all.

Quotes, Hooks, & Timestamps:
"Geography doesn't determine who gets a vote and how the technology reaches the world...having this DAO structure that can't, and I, I guess I won't say can't, but it would be very difficult to capture this by, or be captured by extractive interests, kind of no matter what pressure they apply, is among the best ways that I've ever seen of trying to do this."

"when a customer then pays cash for those products, the IAF takes, you know, whatever 20% of that revenue buys the token on the open market and then deposits into the, the token holder's wallet whomever, whomever was purchasing that cosmetic product."

"And the way that we're trying to set this up is instead of all that money then going out to external people, it stays within the ecosystem."

"Token minting only occurs when new IP NFTs or new IP bundles get created."
— Jasen Petersen [00:39:16 → 00:39:23]

"If a better path emerges mid product or mid project, the DAO can kind of then redefine what that impact criteria is. And so we're not locked into metrics that, that, you know, stop making sense at some point."

"If you're suffering from whatever wounds, psoriasis, chronic infections, that nothing seems to help, you can prioritize decisions about, you know, whether we pursue your condition next, not as a consumer just waiting to be served, but as a governor shaping the direction."
— Jasen Petersen [00:47:36 → 00:47:51]

"Again, to recap, the pharma model extracts value, acquires promising technology, prices for maximum profit, restricts access to maintain their margins, and patients kind of, you know, their customers to be monetized. DCI creates value and distributes it. Patients become governors, practitioners become partners, and the community decides not just whether something gets funded, but how it reaches people who need it."
— Jasen Petersen [00:52:41 → 00:53:08]

"If the government had tried to mandate that or you know, something along those lines, I'll bet you it would be tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then insurance would have to pay for it, and then we would all be paying for it in insurance premiums and so on and so forth."
