SHIVOM
WHAT IS SHIVOM
THE SHIVOM ECOSYSTEMShivom is creating a genomics ecosystem on the blockchain. We will offer an open marketplace for healthcare providers to add their apps and services, alongside genomic data analytics and personalized medicine.
Transform genomic data into useable information Break down data silos Help accelerate clinical trials Facilitate drug research and development Sponsor sequencing projects to get access to relevant data
OUR VISIONAccelerate the age of genomics
Every one of the 7.6 billion people on earth has a unique code held within their genes that unlocks the secrets to appearance, ancestry, intellectual capabilities, health, and fitness. But, this code’s ability to reveal predisposition to disease has been overlooked.
Improve global health
Now is the time for concerted, community-wide development for the “genomical” challenges of the coming decade. Currently, a few key players hold the monopoly on genomic data and make huge profits from selling it to 3rd parties, usually without sharing the earnings with the data donor.
Jumpstart genome-based precision medicine
We are changing the dynamics of the global healthcare market. We are utilizing the most advanced technologies including blockchain, cloud computing, genome sequencing, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics to bring medical genomics into a new era.
Ensure the next level of data privacy
We are at the forefront of data security. We use state-of-the-art cryptography to add additional security levels to our platform that go well beyond blockchain technology for decentralization, protecting each user’s data from cybercriminals.
RatingWe assign the Shivom project a "Stable" rating.
The idea of the Shivom project is to introduce blockchain technology into one of the most promising sectors in the public health market — genomics and precision medicine. Each Shivom platform user will have not only reliable access to scientific knowledge, but can also manage their genome data for their own benefit. Realizing this idea, they argue, is necessary for the health of each individual and of the population of the planet as a whole.
Despite the interesting idea, the platform is currently in development and the alpha version is yet to be released.
Most of the risks are associated with a high likelihood of excess tokens appearing in the market in the medium and long term. When checking OMX tokens and their parameters using Etherscan.io, projects with the same token name, OMX, were found.
In addition to all the risks detailed in the appropriate chapter of this review, it is not clear why the project has so little publicly-available information. We were unable to get a look at the marketing strategy or the business plan. A large number of details directly affecting the success of the ICO, the attractiveness of the token and the development of the project, were not disclosed by the project team for analysis.
The voluminous, challenging-to-read white paper is introductory in nature; it offers specialized terminology and information about the genomics market, but does not contain basic details necessary for an investor to make a decision about participation in the token sale.
The project is "raw" and needs further quality work. We recommend that the developers provide all details and nuances of the token sale, the project’s development, financial planning, the platform’s expansion, etc. for public access and start interacting with their potential audience.

Certificates
Microsoft certified .NET Professional (MCP)
Sun Certified JAVA Programmer (SCJP 6)
The team is the strongest aspect of this project. We highlight the co-founder, Axel Schumacher, who is a notable professional in the field of precision medicine, particularly genetics. Equally important is the experience of the other co-founders responsible for technical issues, marketing, and strategic development of the ecosystem. Other team members with relevant expertise are also responsible for these areas.
The co-founders and various members of the team are advisors to and founders of other projects and currently occupy different positions at other companies, which is of course proof of their experience and professionalism, but the question is whether they would be able to pay due attention to the Shivom project while combining work in several positions and responsibilities for other companies
GENOMICS FOR EVERYONE
Accurate, comprehensive interpretation of your genome will only be possible when the biomedical community has analyzed enough genome sequences representing the full range of natural human variation. However, today, many ethnic and geographical populations are still underrepresented in public databases.
