When talking about technology and how it’s been transforming our world, we tend to think first of how it is making our lives easier and more comfortable through things like home appliances, daily app reminders, online shopping, online business and so on. What we often tend to forget to mention is that technology also contributes massively to our health. So, what is the point to strive so hard to earn money through technology, if you will end up spending them on healthcare services? Wouldn't it be better to spend your money on preventing disease, rather than on expensive medical services after your health has already been compromised?

Genomic medicine is defined as “an emerging medical discipline that involves using genomic information about an individual as part of their clinical care (e.g., for diagnostic or therapeutic decision-making) and the health outcomes and policy implications of that clinical use." Genomics is already making an impact in the area of oncology, pharmacology, undiagnosed diseases and infectious diseases. Therefore, genomics as a technology combined with the blockchain could significantly improve the whole healthcare sector across the globe. With the help of these two revolutionary technologies, Shivom platform offers patients and donors the possibility to have their DNA safely stored in a system. Thanks tothis unique ecosystem, different clinics,researchers, governments, pharmaceutical industries will be able to provide personalized medicine services.

Why is Shivom a good choice?
Donors rewarding: The data donors will own their data and access rights and get rewarded when they sell rights directly to third parties institutions (like clinics, pharmaceutical companies)
Drug and treatment development: Companies will be able to use Shivom to improve drug development. Moreover, researchers and clinicians can use DNA data to figure out which patients are more likely to be unresponsive to a specific treatment. This makes the whole treatment process more efficient and quick.
Personalized medicine: Patients will get customized health, well-being and lifestyle information for their particular condition

Shivom Step-by-Step
• First of all, you need to sign up for Shivom platform.
• Then, you will get a kit in the mail, or you can choose to upload your DNA sequence.
• Once your saliva is collected, you get to learn about your ancestry and receive personal health insights from your genetic data.
• Finally, you can choose whether you want to donate your genome to researchers or sell it.

Based on the whitepaper information of this project, we learn that the costs of DNA sequencing have dramatically declined, which means that genome sequencing companies will start to compete soon. By the end of the decade, it is expected that a person will be able to have their entire genome generated for less than $100.

Regarding the key element that enables buying and trading, Shivom has a total supply of 3 billion OmiX tokens. These will be distributed towards the token sale, community, founders, advisors, growth pool and a part of them will be reserved for the future. You can earn tokens during the sale, from secondary markets, and from rewards collection.
The date for Shivom ICO has not yet been announced; however, if you are interested in participating, you can fill out a form in the private sale section of their website at https://shivom.io/.
