It's no secret that almost any modern technology is created primarily in order to facilitate or improve some industry or the life of mankind as a whole. Blockchain is no exception - the era when CryptoKitties were "the thing" has already passed and a new era of really useful platforms has come. Shivom is among them. Let's talk about it in more detail.
Shivom - blockchain in healthcare and genetics
Shivom is a blockchain platform that will build an open and accessible market for genome data. The main problem solved by the project is insufficient funding of current research programs that focus on the study of rare diseases, those related to genetic mutations in particular.
Shivom will allow researchers to access a vast database of genome data, and users - to monitor personal data and receive a reward for providing them for interested companies. The project plans to attach to the platform several categories of users:
- Owners of the genome information.
- Research centers.
- Scientific institutes.
- Pharmaceutical companies, etc.
Thus, all people in need of processing a large amount of genome information will be able to access an extensive database in just a couple of clicks.
How will the Shivom platform work?
All participants in the platform can be divided into two groups:
- "Sellers" of genome data. They will be common people who are ready to pass a DNA test and upload the results to the platform. All data will be stored in the blockchain, which ensures its safety, and only those who pay the owner the necessary amount in OmiX tokens will be able to access it.
- "Buyers" of genome data. This includes various research centers, institutes, companies, etc. They will be able to access genome data of a huge number of people that can be used for analysis and new developments.
According to the founders of the project, it is the financial incentive for the "sellers" that will make it possible to form a sufficiently large unified database for research.
Advantages of Shivom
- Shivom is a project that is aimed at solving a real problem -m the deficit of accurate genome data and the complexity of obtaining it.
- Shivom pre-sale, unlike most other projects, will preserve equality between the participants. Pre-ICO bonus will be only 3%.
- There is a good chance that Shivom will become a real breakthrough in the healthcare industry and will allow inventing new revolutionary solutions for treatment of previously incurable diseases.
- The founders of Shivom are seeking cooperation with the world's largest medical and research centers in order to improve healthcare on a global scale.
Summary
Shivom is a project that is tied directly to the real world and offers a solution to a truly important healthcare problem. Perhaps, from a technical point of view, the platform does not carry something revolutionary in itself, but from the perspective of utility and prospects, it differs from other blockchain projects in its ambitions and importance.
