A quick overview of modern healthcare systems

Have ever complained about the medical system in your country? Have you been constantly disappointed by the disadvantages of being part of a certain health care system? Sometimes, even authorities are shocked when finding out the immense number of patients that are being misdiagnosed, on how much money is spent per capita on healthcare and how many people don’t have access to quality health care or dental insurance. Donald Trump (the president of USA) said not long ago that "Now, I have to tell you, it's an unbelievably complex subject ... Nobody knew healthcare could be so complicated." (source here)

Is this what we really want for our society, our families or our children? Without a doubt, we would rather imagine a world (regardless of the country where we are currently living in) where healthcare is built to address and satisfy your unique needs, as an individual. But could we even dare to dream of such a system where we are the owners and users of our personal data? Moreover, could we envision such a platform that allows control over each medical care solution? What if the information preserved in our DNA is actually the key to making this ideal world a reality?

Too many questions, too soon? To find possible answers to all these issues, discover Shivom.

Scientists have already agreed that by studying your most valuable information - your DNA - new ways of finding remedies to all sorts of diseases have been revealed. However, existing genomic databases don’t represent the vast majority of ethnic groups - this is causing millions of dollars and euros to be thrown away on ineffective medical treatments.

In the meantime, genetic testing companies are gaining more and more money with the information that is kept inside our unique genetic code.

Shivom offers an opportunity never seen before - to the individuals, the chance to regain control over their genome. In doing so, people are also encouraged to monetize this data using cryptographic keys and a secure decentralized database.

A unique and empowering Project, Shivom will enable DNA data donors to collaborate with revolutionary changemakers in biotechnology, healthcare industry, and government-ordained research institutes and contribute to an unprecedented era of medical marvels. (website)

Being powered by Blockchain technologies and genomics, Shivom aims to connect directly with clinicians and research organizations using smart contracts. At the same time, Shivom protects the users’ data and etically supports medical research.

Scientists and experts believe that shortly, genomic data may reveal treatments for thousands of rare and complex diseases.

The Shivom Ecosystem

Through the blockchain, Shivom will develop a platform that incorporates a series of services:

  • Conversion of all types of genomic data into information that can be utilized
  • Discontinue the use of data silos
  • Offer various solutions to that clinical trials are improved and speed up
  • Help drug research and development

ANd yeah these new technologies are really admirable but if used in a wrong way its really scary too. Hope our world will look itno peace first before everything

@jackandrew The advances in the knowledge of the human genome is one of the most fascinating topics of science. God created man in his image and likeness (Genesis 1). In addition to this we must turn our gaze to paradise and take care of our divine treasure that is our planet earth, Excellent article. Congratulations
