Shivom - Using Blockchain To Create A Genome Ecosystem
https://shivom.io/
Shivom is bringing together two impressive technologies and areas with massive future growth potential. They are genomic medicine and blockchain technology. Shivom will combine these areas into one amazing new ecosystem. It will be an integrated platform for donors of genome data and patients. People will have the opportunity to get a genome sequence done, and have the results stored securely on blockchain. The ecosystem will also encompass a marketplace for research organizations, pharmaceuticals, insurance companies, and governments. These people can add services and apps along with personalized medicine and data analytics. The goal of Shivom is to create the biggest data hub for genomic information, and allow people the option to sell or share the data. Using blockchain for this ecosystem is beneficial for addressing issues of data integrity, data ownership, trust issues, authentication, and patient consent. Smart contracts may be used to manage access and rights to data. Blockchain creates a trusting and secure way to handle these complex issues.
With the Shivom platform, the donors of genome data also own the access rights and the data. They maintain control of the data at all times. Rewards can be obtained by users for selling access rights to organizations such as pharmaceutical companies. These companies can then use this data to help with drug development. Patients may also get relevant personal health information from their genome data. Shivom is designed for all users to work harmoniously in one easy to use and secure ecosystem.
The process for first time users of Shivom is simple. First the user will sign up for Shivom and receive a kit via mail to collect saliva for DNA sequencing. They send the sample back for analysis, and then can see the results and participate in the Shivom ecosystem. The cost for DNA sequencing has been rapidly declining, so this type of project is now possible. There are many uses and benefits to such an ecosystem. This may include things like disease prevention, risk detection of conditions, identifying the best treatment options, and many more.

That is quiet unique. The first of this kind I believe for Genomic medicine. Will have to look into this one
Technology is amazing
This is a very interesting area for blockchain with a real world use case. I will definitely check this one out further. Thanks!
