Abstract: Users indicate possible outcomes of a medical treatment of a medical condition, a population of patients (4) to be treated, and data sources (3) for providing related health data. A smart contract (81) on a blockchain (8) comprises code (82) and an assessment data structure (83). The assessment data structure (83) defines data related to the treatment and to be collected from the data sources (3) and an assessment block (84) to be generated and stored on the blockchain (8), using the data collected during an assessment period. The assessment block (84) indicates for the assessment period the outcomes actually achieved by the treatment. The smart contract code (82) controls processors (11) to determine the efficacy of the treatment, upon an assessment block (84) being stored on the blockchain (8), using the outcomes indicated in the assessment block (84).

Abstract: There is provided a saddle apparatus comprising a saddle housing comprising external walls, an internal cavity defined by the external walls and a seat portion for seating an animal rider; a container compartment defined within the internal cavity of the saddle housing; a fluid container adapted to be removably mounted inside the container compartment, the fluid container being adapted to store fluid; and a fluid dispenser in fluid communication with the fluid container adapted to allow flow of fluid from the fluid container on the animal when the saddle apparatus is mounted on the back of the animal. The saddle apparatus optionally comprises at least one of a thermometer, a gyroscope, a proximity detector and a camera, a light detector and a lighting device, a weighting device, a heart pulse reader, a user interface and a transmitter. The saddle apparatus also comprises a power supply, preferably a solar-based power supply.
