As humanity drives its fate into another epoch of civilization, the integration of man’s well being and the Blockchain technology is growing in significance each time. One cannot talk much about the technology aspect of healthcare without considering Genomics. Knowledge in genomics harness understanding and treatment of as many as 7000 uncommon diseases including cancers, long-standing (chronic) disease, and infections. With this knowledge at hand, Shivom intends to amalgamate the Blockchain tchnology and genomics to promote wellness through a well designed and decentralized ecosystem.

The integration of these two great technologies is meant to provide a revolutionary community which will provide solution and arbitrate the gap between patients and the genomic aspects of their health — a platform where genomic data will be sequenced and well secured. Through this, pharmaceutical services, research organizations, governments, patient-support groups and insurance companies and their apps will find a web-marketplace within the Shivom ecosystem.

The set driving force of the Shivom ecosystem is the one goal which provides it with direction.

The goal is “to create the largest Genomic Data-Hub on the planet. Contributors own their own genomic data, the right to access it and the opportunity to share or sell it”.

Users will own control over their data, generating user-based independence.

Shivom ecosystem has been designed and structured on interrelated elements which work in tandem towards the achievement of the goal. It architectured on the principles of collaboration, openness, integrity, security, and informed choice. Through these principles, Shivom wishes to see a generation where genomic data becomes present everywhere across the globe ad much accessible by users. Shivom employs the state-of-the art model and not-for-profit drug model in its operations. With the state-of-the art model, researchers of Shivom will provide evidence-based results pertaining to genomics using modernized data-driven tools and techniques especially machine learning which includes artificial intelligence (AI). These evidence-based results will improve healthcare systems at the long run.

Partnering with Blockchain technology enhances Shivom’s integrity as it will provide security, smooth transactions, trust between parties involved as interactions and transactions will be performed using the smart contract.

The major facilitator of the Shivom ecosystem will be the OmiX Token (OMX) and it will offer benefits such as:

  • Opportunity to acquire premium services in the Shivom ecosystem.
  • Opportunity to gain genome sequencing kit.
  • Opportunity to become a sponsor of sequencing projects.
  • Gain access to health and fitness apps from other sources partnering with Shivom.
  • Ability to pay donors for data and participation in research studies.
  • Service providers will get the chance to utilize the platform.
