There are more than 7 billion people on the face of the planet Earth. And everyone of us is different from the others. You might ask, why is that ? It all come down to our DNA. No one, not even identical twins, have the exact same DNA as someone else. The amount of information that is stored in our DNA is incredible, and it can unlock a lot more about human than what we’ve known.
Genomics is the field of study that looks into our genes, to help us understand, and from that, interact with it to help improving human life for the better.
Healthcare Industry is a needed industry for human. Because it provides us with doctors, nurses, hospitals and other organizations; including private, public, and voluntary ones. It also provides us with medical equipments, pharmaceutical manufacturers and health insurance firms.
Blockchain is an incorruptible digital ledger of transactions that can be programmed to record, and you can not change or delete the record. With this technology, it helps us to increase security by a lot more. The utility of blockchain technology is limitless, from containing the record of cryptocurrency, to medical data, or even voting records. Blockchain enables trust to be distributed throughout a network, without the need for a central authority to track, verify and approve the digital exchange of value.
So what is the connection among these 3 things I have mentioned earlier ? The answer is : when combining genomics, healthcare industry and Blockchain together, we have the Project Shivom.
What is Project Shivom ?
The problem that researchers are facing here is there are not enough data available for them to study during clinical trials. And without genomic data, things get much harder, if not impossible. That why the Project Shivom is created.
Project Shivom is a platform combined two revolutionary technologies, Genomics and Blockchain, to created something new. Project Shivom’s main goal is to create the largest genomic data hub on Earth, easy for everyone to contribute in the DNA and secure their DNA information on the decentralized Blockchain.
Although genomic sequencing is not a new technology but most of the people ignore its benefits:
- Identifying and creating different course of care for different patients.
- Prevention of disease in healthy individuals
- Prediction of disease risk
- Disease diagnosis
- Treatment, including choice of most effective medication and dosage
- Disease prognosis
- Identifying new drug targets
The team at Shivom have developed new ways to analyze DNA faster. It means that more people can easily have their DNA collected and analyzed, and have more information about their health. And from these information, Shivom can help users to better their condition through apps and services.
Not only is this going to help individuals to have more aware of their health, but this data can also be used (not without the owner permission) by researchers to study more about the human genes, to have a better understanding about how diseases work, the effect of medication on people, and to improve global health,…..
Unlike Ancenstry.com or 23andMe, your Shivom DNA information is stored on Blockchain, and you don’t have to give up the right of your DNA data to Shivom. You are in control where the DNA information goes and what to do with it. You either keep all of the data, or you can sell or donate it to the database to help other people. The reason you can do all of that is because you and you alone own the private key to your DNA Smart Contract, so only you can unlock your data before being used.
Shivom Ecosystem
Shivom Ecosystem is a fully integrated, open, shareable, scalable community for everyone who take part in Shivom platform, from users/patients to developer community, pharmaceutical companies and other partner organizations.

Shivom’s Development Team
Behind every great innovation, there is great man and woman who are working really hard to serve us by researching the problem. The founders of the project are :
Dr. Axel Schumacher — Co-Founder & CEO, Ph.D. in Genetics, over 20 years of R&D leadership experience in genomics.
Gourish Singla — Co-Founder & COO, serial entrepreneur, have a background in investment banking and wealth management.
And many more. All of them all have high experience in the healthcare industry, that help them to come up with and develop the project. Other members to be included are Dr. Natalie Pankova — Chief Scientific Officer and Akash Gaurav — CTO. And other members, who are contributing so much to turn this beautiful concept into something that serve the people around the world. The team continues to develop and create new technologies to add to the platform.

Conclusion
The Shivom platform uses blockchain technology to create a disruptive genomics ecosystem. Shivom provides a cheap and easy for people to donate, to have access to their genome sequenced and store it on the database. Blockchain technology adds more security to your DNA information. Users/Patients will be able to track your genome data and decide what to do with it. With Shivom, we can now be able to research deeply into the human DNA with this database. And it can save thousands of lives. Shivom is leading in the aspect of transparent and secure in transaction.This project have a potential to be great, and could possibly change the healthcare industry for better. I put a lot of faith in this project that it’s gonna be a huge success, and save many lives.
