Every day we hear more and more about digital revolution – BLOCKCHAIN.
It is trully great logic behind it and it is not useable only in digital world but in much broad concept. For example car manufacturers applyed this method to track spare parts in every step of the chain from factory to end user. Goverments and financial institutions have an use for it in digital identitiy, inter-organizational data management and tokenization.
One of those inovative ideas is Zenome project. Zenome is something different from any other project I've encountered so far. Team of people is connecting genomic data of person with blockchain method to create economic system where you can trade your own data for greater purpose. They want to create marketplace of a new world.
Now You are probably wondering what would be the benefits of Zenome for anyone.
„Hold my genetic data online for everyone to see it? No way!“ , but wait just a moment…
Strands of DNA contains info about our entire body and help doctors to predict health status, find lost relatives or see what food we like. With this idea people, science and market would be connected and it would open an entire new opportunities.
This project could help in:
PERSONAL MEDICATIONS
Every DNA is specific and not same as any other. That means every person reacts differently on exact same medics. With data of your DNA Zenome would provide personal or more suitable medications. Organ doners will be found faster and save lives of people who really need our help.
HEALTIER NUTRITIONS
Not only medications doesn't work same on each person, same is with food. We all have different metabolism or allergies to some food. Zenome would allow us to specify what is better and what is worst for our specific body, ofcourse depending on our goals. If we want to be fit, ATM we know we have to regulate dietary supplements. Less fat and carbs more proteins and limited calories. But that is almost same for everyone, very little deviation. This would made it personal.
DATING SERVICES
Even in finding love we could apply this project. Our DNA doesn't contains only data about blood type and reaction to what we digest. It can connect our feelings, reactions to certain things and find people we would react happier to, friends or spouse.
Marketplace would allow us to make profit with our own genomic data, and in the same time a chance to improve our life. And all in few steps: Take data, upload to blockchain and connect to the database. You can earn money if genomic become currency (we get payed for plazma already) or find more about enhancing yourself. Maybe even find disease or tumor in your blood, so you can treat it in time to save our own life, if not yours, someone elses. And that is just a beginning for now.
I see more possitive use cases then negative ones in this. On blockchain tehnology no one can hide what is happening with your DNA, you can track it anytime anywhere.
If this project succeed with ICO and gather enough funds, later on Zenome team or someone new can use this idea and create even greather project to improve way we live.
It is a lot to process but if you are even more interested to this project visit Zenome Platform official web page www.zenome.io or official announcement on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2191098/ forum.
