Would that work for non-life-saving medicine? I’m thinking of dietary programs, specifically. With everybody and their brother offering “new, revolutionary fat loss techniques” I’d be surprised if nobody ever tried a micropayment system.
(Something similar I do is offering myself alternative rewards for my good behaviour—when I really crave some ice-cream, I decide I will treat myself to a new toy/book/clothing item/etc. if I manage to abstain. Doesn’t really work if it’s raining, unfortunately.)
I’ve heard of sites where you bet a good chunk of money (and inform people) to see if you can complete/maintain your diet. Micropayment back would probably work. With intermittent rewards even?
