I am not the first to talk about genomics nor am I going to be the last because it’s a very important field and its relevance to the survival of the human’s race cannot be overemphasized. But today I will make my own submission on the subject of Genomics and how Shivom seeks to revolutionize it.
Firstly, what is Genonics? Genomics according to the dictionary simply means the branch of molecular biology concerned with the structure, function, evolution, and mapping of genomes. I reckon the next thing is to know what a genome means the complete set of genes or genetic material present in a cell or organism.
The key to good health is to knowing what your body needs and giving it at the right time and at the right volume. But how can you truly know in great depth what your body needs? That is where Genome sequencing comes in. Genome sequencing is the process of ascertaining the genetic makeup of an individual (organism).
Prior the technology of genome sequencing, death has been attributed to several unexplainable circumstances which all or mostly bothered on the ignorance of the complete genetic profile of the deceased. But thanks to Genome sequencing, that can be changed and it is changing. Today the level of our technological innovation has provided us a way to surmount the obstacles that lies in our way to true and affordable healthcare.
But how can this be done? This is where Shivom comes in. Shivom is a new dawn in healthcare system. Shivom is a product of two fascinating technological innovation. The Genomics technology and the blockchain technology. Shivom seeks to leverage the two technologies to provide the better and safer healthcare world for the society.
How then does it intend to get this done? The idea is to exploit the two technology and provide a platform where everyone can be able to have their genome sequenced and stored securely on the blockchain. This information will be provided to pharmaceutical organization, research institutes, governments, insurance firms and many more organizations that would need such an information to better the life of mankind.
These genetic materials are the keys to which one can ascertain where a person comes from, the diseases associated with the family where a person comes from, the kind of diseases the individual is susceptible to and how he reacts to certain type of treatments. But as we all know one of the things that limits certain type of innovation or to do something is the monetary value attached to it. It should be known that the first ever Human Genome that was sequenced cost billons of dollars and it took more than a decade to complete.
We don’t have such time and patience to wait that long for the genetic profile of 1/100th of the world’s population to be sequenced. This we own to technology. Today is cost far less to sequence a genome and it will continue to grow lesser thanks to Shivom technological innovate idea of leveraging the genomic and blockchain science. You may ask what does an individual seek to gain from being part of the Shivom platform, below are some points of benefits.
As stated before, Shivom is a platform where genetic information can be marketed. You are in charge. That boss feeling is what the blockchain provides. · You are in charge of your genomic data hence you have the right to selling it organizations who would need it for research purposes. · Since you are in charge of your own data, no one can have access to it. The blockchain provides security of information like no other system on the planet. So you are absolutely the boss of your own genetic information.
* By providing your own genomic information, you provide a way to help promote good health and ensure proper testing of pharmaceutical products so as to avoid side effects on humans when the product touches the market. This ensures that drug trial period gets shorter by a great extent. Meaning better health of those who didn’t. ·
* By providing your own genetic information, you are saving lives and also helping yourself to understand your own genetic profile and thus ensuring a healthy lifestyle.
Summarily, the whole idea of Shivom is that it is a web marketplace where genomic information can be stored and sold to parties while having full and exclusive right to who you sell it to and who have access to it while benefitting financially and healthwise from the genetic information of your person and thus living a happy and healthier life.
Since we have talked about the whole Shivom point, its imperative you understand that the drive of a project to success is in the hands of humans. Therefore, it becomes imperative that the leadership of shivom be presented so one can make informative decisions. Before I continue, it is important I let you know that Shivom is led by a team of great minds. Let’s start here.

Good stuff! Hi @yomarve do you know the word "SHIVOM" is very beautiful and pious. This is made of SHIV + OM. In Hindu religion these both words are of supreme importance. God bless you! To know more about Indian culture and heritage please follow us and watch our web series Bharat Darshan :Exploring the unexplored on steemit every Thursday 12pm EST.
Yeah i do know of OM. Glad you are enthusiastic about Shivom. I am also. I think it will give a new meaning to how we see and use medicine and it will impact our healthcare in ways we have not imagined.
Nice article. I need to take more time to study the whitepaper but overall, a nice project and a nice idea
Great stuff....lets jump on the shivom project...it is definitely gon be awesome
