Indian State Government will Store Residents’ DNA Data on a Blockchain
The government of Andhra Pradesh will use Shivom’s blockchain-based global DNA ecosystem to make the vision possible. In this state of india are living over 60 million people. All the genetic data will be sequenced between 2018 and 2025.
The privacy of citizens’ DNA data is a top priority. Using a blockchain infrastructure is the best way. With the help of Shivom, a pilot project will be created to determine the viability of this technology.
Quote from CEO, Dr. Axel Schumacher:
"Whilst diversity is all around us in the physical world, it is still lacking in the existing genomic data available to researchers around the world. This results in exclusion, as minority and under-represented groups miss out on the benefits from advances in predictive and personalized medicine because abnormal genomic variations that exist in their ethnic or geographical location will not be present in the data that researchers are working with. "
In my opinion its a good possibility for the blockchain industry to show which advantages the dezentralization has. What do you think? Give me a feedback in the comments :)
