The New Rural Healthcare Model

• Our data shows it is much easier to engage with a kiddo (through the game) and get to the parents and adults around that kiddo through their influence

• We start with the 20% of 50,000 K-6 students who have a diagnosed chronic condition

• Implement the program with those 10,000 students for $50/month per student for 12 months

• The first 12 months ($6 million) are funded by the Rural Health Transformation grant

• The following months are billed through Medicaid at $50/month for 24 months

1. Start with the kids through the schools and FQHCs in Collier and surrounding counties.

The Heroic Learning platform is the world leader in kid-driven, game-based, AI and tokenized life-skills learning that teaches our kids the critical life-skills of success - all without the need for a teacher or classroom time. It can be played anywhere and anytime and on any device.

We align with the 5 suggested models for the states to implement.

2. The $6 million grant goes to fund 10,000 students in 125 schools and 20 school nurses for the first 12 months.

The $6 million will come from phase 1 of the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation grant, and as phase 2 is starting and the remaining $25 billion is distributed based on results of phase 1, the Florida health department will be able to show the data from the Heroic program and justify more funding to scale the program to the rest of the state.

3. We will work with one FQHC.

We will select one FQHC to work with to implement the program and contribute to the data.

4. We will work with 10 businesses in the counties.

The business community is very invested in helping the upcoming generation of workers learn the habits of health and wellness and the life-skills of success. They will help get the word out and provide their expertise to the program.

5. The research and data collection will be handled by Dr Mike Haller and his team at the University of Florida.

Dr Haller's team is very experienced at doing the research and studies that pave the way for new ways of treatment.

6. We will turn the school and school nurse into the front lines of the rural health solution.

Every day as the kids play the game and the school nurse is looking at the learning data, we will be able to identify early signs of individual health issues and trends of the larger group.

7. What are the learning outcomes of the pilot?

• Improved health and habits - eating, sleeping and exercise

• Increased hope and sense of community

• Increased state math, reading and science test scores

• Increased attendance

• Improved student acheivement gap

• Decreased behavior referrals

• Increased family and adult participating in health services

• Increased interaction with grandparent

• Better use of technology

• Improved life-skills learning and practice

• Improved sense of ownership

We go to where the kids and their families are:

Technology.

Even though we may not like it - its here, its ubiquitous, and its our responsibility as adults to teach our kids how to use tech for good.

To ban it is just "kicking the can" down the road and creating a bigger problem as soon as that child is outside the control of the adult.

This is how we help our children and our communities and country benefit from them becoming the smartest, hardest-working, healthiest, and most character-driven workers on the planet.

These are the skills the families will learn:
