At the heart of ReliablyME is the concept of person-to-person (P2P) commitments, where every commitment a student makes is recorded on the blockchain. These commitments reinforce accountability and behavior change, strengthening personal integrity—a critical character attribute in professional settings.

ReliablyME emphasizes P2P commitments, where students are held accountable to another individual—be it a supervisor, educator, or peer. This P2P approach fosters accountability and leverages behavioral science through the use of nudges. These nudges are presented as scheduled questions or requests that the student must answer, influencing positive behavior changes. In education, these nudges effectively address self-limiting behaviors such as a lack of self-efficacy, which significantly impacts graduation rates.

By promoting consistent engagement, these nudges can significantly boost task completion rates and overall performance. The platform’s current nudging system is manually adaptive, meaning interventions are adjusted based on human analysis of user responses and behaviors. ReliablyME plans to enhance this feature in the future by integrating generative AI, which would allow for more dynamic and automated adaptations to individual user needs and behaviors.

What formats/platforms are used?

ReliablyME leverages blockchain technology to issue secure, verifiable credentials for each skill or competency a student develops. These immutable records provide a transparent and trustworthy verification of the student’s abilities.

Instead of encrypting data, ReliablyME anonymizes it, allowing for secure sharing among educational institutions, employers, governments, and NGOs. This approach ensures that credentials can be verified without revealing personal information, maintaining privacy while supporting collaborative efforts in education and workforce development.

What does your product help with? What problem does it solve?

ReliablyME is a commitments tracking and recognition platform that helps recognize people for their ability to demonstrate desirable behaviors.

Behavioral outcomes are a leading indicator of impact. Funders of health and human services need objective evidence of the relative effectiveness of the programs they fund, while program delivery organizations need tools that improve outcomes and ease their reporting burden.

Individuals participating in health/wellness or other human services programs that provide ongoing patient/client/student support register their commitments to completing specific program-related tasks in order to receive recognition for their accomplishments and thereby accelerate their progress.

Users assemble a Commitment Portfolio (behavioral credential) consisting of digital badges, points, and performance scores that showcase their level of dedication and progress toward achieving specific goals in order to gain equitable access to opportunities that improve the quality of their lives.

Characteristics:

ReliablyME is founded on blockchain technologies, used to validate claims and enable individuals to maintain control over their identity while keeping their personal data private.

ReliablyME uses smart contracts (chain code) on a Hyperledger blockchain to record the provenance of a person’s commitment-making journey, as they pursue their self-improvement, health and wellness, education, social causes, and other goals throughout every aspect of their life’s journey.

ReliablyME uses APIs to power applications that people are already using (eg. SMS, WhatsApp, web and mobile apps) and an interactive chatbot to create a dynamic user experience.

Ultimately, the use of blockchain technologies will empower people to transact their trusted ReliablyME-powered promises/commitments/IOUs as an objectively valued currency based on the promisor’s fluctuating reliability rating.

As we navigate the challenges of the 21st-century job market, ReliablyME stands at the forefront of educational innovation. By combining commitment-driven learning, real-time performance tracking, and blockchain-secured credentialing, the platform offers a comprehensive solution to bridge the gap between education and workforce readiness. The integration of AI and natural language interfaces, along with the platform’s unique approach to P2P commitments, supports students in developing the skills and behaviors essential for career success. Additionally, anonymized blockchain data enables secure collaboration among educational institutions, employers, governments, and NGOs.
