How Genomics is Revolutionizing Healthcare?

My college is quite famous for providing off-beat assignments for our chosen electives, and for our Biology course, I was handed one such assignment which changed my idea of healthcare completely. My assignment was to go to a cancer hospital in the city and find out about the various treatment methods that are available today. I was also given the task to speak to the patients and listen to their story.

Likewise, I went to a hospital, and started my job.

One patient was a doctor himself, and his statements shook me completely. This is what he said — "It is true that healthcare has advanced a lot, like everything else in this world. But the treatments are based only on about 1% of these advancements. You can think this to be the tip of the iceberg, the rest remains submerged and nobody gets to know about it."

He stopped for a while, and conitnued, "Genomic medicine has brought a huge revolution. As many as 7000 rare diseases including AIDS and Cancer can be possibly cured by it. But who cares? These aren't accessible because the government won't approve of genome data collection ever. But truly, these can save lives. "

He was absolutely right. Even though genomic treatments are available, genome data isn't.

Genome data must be available readily for us to conquer these diseases. This is why Shivom felt the need to enter the market to change the healthcare industry once and for all.

What is Shivom?

Shivom offers for the first time, fully integrated solution for patients and genome data donors which will be securely stored in a single place so that they can be easily accessed when the need arises.

Not only this, Shivom will also provide a complete web marketplace ecosystem for pharmaceutical companies, research organizations as well as the governments of several countries and their states, so that they can add their own applications, data, and services, in addition to the genomic data analytics and personalized medicine provided by Shivom.

In short, Shivom will change the way in which we fight rare diseases and help save lives across the world by using advanced genomic techniques coupled with the powers of Ethereum blockchain.

How does it work?

Often, there are certain diseases which do not express themselves until they have advanced to a great extent. However, using genomic techniques, we can get complete insights about what is going on inside our bodies and if we have any hidden condition.

However, getting this genomic analysis done is a very difficult task. But now that Shivom is here, this is as easy as booking a cab from the comforts of your home.

Suppose, I want to know my current health condition.

All I have to do is sign up on the Shivom platform.

Next, I can either upload my DNA sequence myself or I will get a DNA kit physically mailed to me in a few days' time.

Next, using that kit, I have to submit Shivom my saliva.

From this collected saliva, I can:

• Learn about my ancestry.
• Get personal health insights from my raw genetic data.
• Donate by genome data for free to a private or not for profit research organization.

In short, this DNA sequencing will help scientists understand how diseases can be fought in a better manner while the patients can get insights about their own health conditions from the raw data.

The entire world thus gets benefited from the solution offered by Shivom.

Verdict

There are many deadly diseases to which our scientists do not have an answer. However, advanced genomic techniques can help us to overcome this problem and help us build a better and a healthier world.

However, doing this is not an easy task. But thanks to the solution by Shivom, this is now as easy as ordering things from an online shopping site.
Not only are the people benefited from the personalized insights about their condition, but their genomic data also helps organizations and scientists in the fight against several rare diseases whose cure is yet to be invented.

In short, it benefits the entire globe. Truly, Shivom is one of the best platforms in the market that will change the healthcare industry taking us to a better tomorrow!
