Summary
What is the most precious commodity that a person owns? DNA according to Dr. Axel Schumacher, CEO of Shivom. Shivom is linking two revolutionary technologies: genomics and blockchain to provide a safe, secure platform to store genetic data and improve health and well-being. Shivom provides users access to a global precision medicine platform that allows for the anonymous sharing of genetic information that may eventually help cure complex diseases.
In addition, once genetic information is stored, users can gain valuable advice regarding disease predisposition, ancestry patterns, and drug profiles. All information is protected using a blockchain database as well as an additional level of cryptographic privacy which allows users to remain completely anonymous.
Shivom is building a massive global genomic data hub that will improve healthcare and well-being in a secure
a platform that users can trust.
