GeneWhisper Information

GeneWhisper is developing a cloud-based marketplace, which utilizes genomic and health data, artificial intelligence driven analysis, and smart-contract technology to reward people for sharing the data that they already own while contributing to medical research and development that saves lives. As personal genomic data has risen in popularity; the data has become fragmented as each company looks to maximize their individual profit from this data. There is currently little incentive for consumers to contribute their DNA and health information to a third-party database. There are also multiple privacy, security, and trust issues that limit broad participation. GeneWhisper’s platform will advance genomic data growth by significantly reducing the costs of personal genome sequencing, enhancing genomic data protection, enabling buyers to efficiently acquire genomic data, and addressing the challenges of genomic big data. GeneWhisper is a community-owned database that rewards individuals for contributing their DNA and other medical information in the database. Contributions entitle members to a share in the profits from medical research and discoveries. The proceeds flow back to the community like dividends as researchers pay to access the data for discovery. GeneWhisper accomplishes data democratization through decentralization, cryptography, and utilization of the blockchain technology. As the genomic database grows, it will become increasingly valuable to the medical research industry. Furthermore, GeneWhisper’s companion diagnostics feature would be relayed to pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and physicians who would use the actionable reports to identify treatment plans or clinical trials for their cohort.
