CHME Summary

Integral Resilience is not only a fundamental structure in all living, social, and economic systems, it is also a capacity that can be learned and rapidly communicated across communities. The term “multiplier” derives from a recognition that many health challenges facing communities, including health literacy, obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular illness all involve important behavioral components. This opens the possibility that new learning in any one area can be rapidly transferred to others.

As suggested in I-II, Integral Resilience is not only a fundamental structure in all living, social, and economic systems, it is also a capacity that can be learned and rapidly communicated across communities. The CHME was conceived as a portal to support this process of community-wide learning of best practices relating to health, vitality, and wellness. The term “multiplier” derives from a recognition, first that many health challenges facing communities involve co-morbidity such as health literacy, obesity, diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular illness; and second, that these challenges all entail significant behavioral components. This invites the possibility that progress in one domain can rapidly be transferred or “multiplied” in many others, because the core behavioral skills are the virtually the same. The term “exchange” refers to an actual platform where goods and services are transferred and monetized by a local currency of Health Success Points, modeled on proven loyalty programs, and secured in the CHME by the powerful new technology of blockchain.

As illustrated in Diagrams the CHME works to support learning, connecting and exchanging, and also combines application in the physical, online, and fin-tech worlds.
