Shivom is the latest innovation prepared to serve as a solution to the issues within genomics data management. The management of this type of data indeed is something integral yet vulnerable to modification and other improper management. That being said, it takes a stable yet functional platform to take care of this genomic data management. This is what Shivom aims to provide to its users.
The stability in genomic data management indeed is something crucial as once a transaction on genomic data is being done, there is no turning back. Both parties must be really confident in proceeding with the transaction or else it should not even be done at all.
Genomic is indeed considered as something that could change someone’s life. That being said, anyone who feels that he could do more to humanity could opt to donor his genomes to the authorized institution. However, there is a certain issue in the process as the data is very vulnerable to modification and improper management. Therefore, it is very essential to have a reliable and dependable system that takes care the whole process.
Shivom focuses on closing the gap in genomics data management. The issue of security and confidentiality in genomics data storage and management are indeed two main concerns of players in the industry. There has not been any system that could guarantee the confidentiality and security of the data, thus it is being really vulnerable to improper management.
To effectively close this gap, Shivom will use the blockchain technology which guarantees proper and secure management of data submitted into its system. The blockchain system indeed provides extra confidence to its users as it allows them to closely and continuously monitor the data, thus they will be able to tell if there is any modification made towards the data.
It is relatively easy to utilize Shivom. The donors of any genomic data will be given an access to their submitted data. They will first need to first sign themselves up to the system by inputting the required data and wait to be recognized and approved by the system. Then, Shivom will send a kit to the user’s mailing address containing an equipment to take the sample of the user’s DNA. After providing their DNA through the equipment sent by the Shivom team, users should send it back so that the team could identify their DNA and thus register it to the Shivom database.
Users who contribute their DNA to the Shivom ecosystem will then be given a full access to the system so that they could actively monitor the status of their DNA conveniently. In addition, these users are also entitled to health scanning service by Shivom, in which they could obtain a full scan over their DNA to uncover any potential illnesses that they may have. This service enables Shivom to establish a conducive yet productive health ecosystem which is built upon trust and confidence of its users.
