MED-HIVE Community History & Team
The MED-HIVE community was created by @jaydr, a medical doctor who envisioned a hub of medical and clinical information on the Hive blockchain. He reunited with some doctors, including medical students he knew on the Hive blockchain and started to give voice to his idea.
On May 4th of 2022, the journey to health awareness on Hive started with 17 hivers!
Not long after, @blackdaisyft who is a physiotherapist joined the team and the brainstorming sessions began. From there, two newbies on the Hive blockchain started to develop some weekly and monthly health awareness prompts, which improved over time. With some hard work and sacrifice the community started to slowly grow.
Then, we were lucky to have found another great companion, @marilour! A brilliant research medical doctor, with lots of experience and knowledge to share, with a PhD in Education Sciences. Her help and guidance brought a lot of improvements to our community. Last but not least, we had @palomap3, an occupational therapist who works with acquired brain damage and with older people, join the team. We were delighted to have someone with experience in curation and moderation which helped this community to grow even further!
So far, our fantastic four is doing its best to make sure we bring health awareness to the Hive blockchain and we hope to grow further and beyond!
Sponsors and Supporters
We are proud and thankful to have a handful of wonderful supporters and sponsors. We are blessed with @ecency collaboration which allows us to gain and give ecency points rewards to our beloved community members.
We encourage everyone to post in our community using the Ecency frontend as the more members use it, the more rewards we can give back!
We also count on the amazing support of @ocd, who frequently comes to our community to curate good-quality content. As we like to also give back,
We encourage every member to join the POSH initiative by sharing their posts on Twitter with the #posh tag, giving you the possibility to earn posh tokens and also spread the word about Hive and the MED-HIVE community on Twitter.
More recently, we are taking advantage of one of many @leofinance initiatives to create a short content writing platform called #Threads. We would love for our members to use it and we encourage everyone to share health-related threads. Check out our post about this here.
Lastly, we also want to appreciate the @stemsocial community for supporting good medical posts. We are glad to have their support here as we ensure our post meets the gold standard of quality and reliability.
We are open to collaborate with many other communities for health awareness campaigns, we appreciate those we have worked with and would love to work with more.
Rules of MED-HIVE Community
To maintain a healthy environment in this community and make sure our members are safe from possible harmful information there are some rules to follow. Our team will be at everyone's disposal in case of any doubt or difficulty as it is in our best interest to help new members to thrive in our community, within safe limits and boundaries.
Here are the absolute rules for ALL members of the MED-HIVE community:

These rules will be supervised, managed and applied by the MED-HIVE team and are subject to change and improvement over time.
Health professionals registration process
Since we are a health and medical community, we created a way to ensure scrutiny of information, thus having some form of credentials for our health professional members (med-members).
Therefore, if you are a health professional and want to share and create scientific content there is a mandatory registration process. This is in other to create a system of safety for our consumers.
The MED-HIVE team will be available to help you in the process if you need it. Here are the steps you must follow:
- Join our Discord Channel
- Read the information on the #start-here channel
- Go to the #med-members-registration channel
- Leave a message on this channel with the following information: hive username; profession or speciality field; where are you from; where you currently exercise your clinical practice.
We ll be really glad to have you.
If everything is checked out, a role will be assigned to you both on Discord and in the community.
