Currently, the proliferation of medical and beauty clinics is a serious issue, raising several key concerns:
Firstly, the quality and safety of clinics are problematic. Without adequate regulation and oversight, the quality of procedures and treatments cannot be guaranteed, potentially putting patients at risk.
Next, consumer protection is a significant concern. In a market with many competing clinics, inadequate advertising and information can lead consumers to make misguided choices.
Additionally, the expertise and ethics of medical professionals are at stake. Some clinics may lack appropriate qualifications and specialized knowledge, which can undermine patient trust and treatment effectiveness.
Moreover, many existing review platforms are clinic-driven, with clinics paying for advertisements on the platform, leading to the removal of negative reviews and the posting of reviews by influencers or fake accounts, resulting in a lack of credibility.
To address these issues, SCT will implement a user-driven clinic review platform, where clinics that achieve a certain number of reviews and a high rating score will be designated as SC-certified clinics, ensuring users can confidently receive treatments.
Users who write reviews on this platform will earn SCP points, which can be exchanged for products or clinic discount coupons within the platform's e-commerce section. Once SCT is whitelisted in Japan, SCP points can also be swapped for SCT tokens.
Here’s how the platform works:
- Users evaluate the clinic where they received treatment.
- Users submit proof of treatment from the respective clinic.
- SC conducts a review to ensure the submission is truthful. If the submission fails the review, the evaluation is deleted, and the user's SCP points are revoked.
- Upon successful review, SCP points are awarded.
