### Challenges on Web 3.0

**Fragmentation:** Health data is fragmented across multiple apps and wearables, making it difficult to obtain a comprehensive view of overall health.

**Engagement and Retention:** Many crypto projects struggle to keep users engaged and maintain user interest.

**Standardization:** Various health tokens operate under different standards, causing confusion.&#x20;
