The InPersona app is actually a Web 3.0 DApp (decentralized app) that runs on the Vyvo Smart Chain. And it is the core component for our community that is creating the first Decentralized Digital Health platform. Additionally, we have a wearable Helo health device that mines crypto with your heartbeat. As this device collects your health data, it is safely stored on the Vyvo Smart Chain that is part of the overall Blockchain. So this means that YOU OWN YOUR DATA in a Data NFT (non-fungible token). However, if you are not sure what an NFT is, you can check out NFT Basics, and then return here.
No longer do you have to let Big Tech control and sell your health data without compensating you! Why should they make the money on YOUR data??? If you need more background information, please visit the Crypto Revolution page.
Here is a Quick Overview of InPersona
Why is Data Privacy Important?
Before we go any further, let’s take a look at why data privacy and protection is so important. In today’s world, it is becoming increasingly important to protect our data and to keep it private. Especially our health and medical data. Do you realize how many of the apps on your phone collect your data? Start with all the health and fitness apps. FitBit. Apple Watch. Apple Health. MyFitnessPal, Garmin. and the list goes on and on. And then that data is sold. Do you know who buys it? Some of the data gets used for medical research. But the rest gets used by insurance companies, employers, and others. AND it is used against you in the form of higher insurances, and even loan approvals.
Fortunately, we have a solution for this! By simply wearing a Helo health device, you can collect your OWN health and medical data. In fact, just your heartbeat can mine cryptocurrency. Even better, the data that is collected is stored in a Data-NFT. This is stored securely on the blockchain, and there is proof that you own it. That’s right. You retain ownership of your very own health and medical data. Additionally, you “mine” (earn) cryptocurrency, the data remain anonymous, and you get to choose who uses it! So it can benefit all of us via medical research, but you still own it. Welcome to Web 3.0 and the ability to control your data.
Now Let’s Go

- ****THIS IS CRITICAL**** Once you scroll down a bit, then you will see “reveal passphrase”. Press and hold to see your pass phrase. You can take a screen shot, and write it down in exact order (case sensitive). It is CRITICAL that you keep this safe and DO NOT give it to anyone else.
- Once you have written down your pass phrase in the EXACT order, you need to verify it as many times as necessary for you. THEN you may continue.
- In the next step you will have to re-verify your each of the 12 words (in order) from your pass phrase in the app. There will be a set of 3 words for each of the 12 words in your pass phrase.
