Blockchain in Healthcare Today Publishes Genomic Data and Equitable Compensation Article

Blockchain in Healthcare Today has published “Accelerating Genomic Data Generation and Facilitating Genomic Data Access Using Decentralization, Privacy-Preserving Technologies and Equitable Compensation,” Dennis Grishin, et al, DOI: 10.30953/bhty.v1.34.
 
Since advancements in sequencing the genome are now affordable, albeit, not by all, personal genome sequencing can help make healthcare “smarter.” Access to this data, can advance the speed and number of cures discovered, but how can the current paradigm and business model be changed into one that works for the future of health?
 
The Grishin article presents a case answering this question using a decentralized blockchain network, and adds to the trail blazing body of work contained on Blockchain in Healthcare Today (BHTY). “I’m curious as to the impact the technology will have on the economic marketplace in creating a playing field where owners become direct sellers. This may be the beginning of designing more “equitable compensation” for a future economy in which we all partake. Article authors take health where it can go, transcending where it exists today. It’s ground breaking" stated Founder and Publisher, Tory Cenaj,

The authors address remaining challenges for personal genome sequencing and genomic data sharing that need to be overcome in the article’s Discussion section. These include secure genomic data generation, data validation, and scaling a personal genomic data marketplace.

“Personal genomics is going to achieve mass adoption in the next few years. Thus, we have to think about the question of genomic data ownership and control. Blockchain technology has the potential to empower people to own their personal genomic data and share it controllably and transparently,” said lead author Dennis Grishin.
