DeNome: A Decentralized Architecture to Ensure Data Privacy in Sharing of Genomic Data
摘要
The field of genomic data management is rapidly evolving, with the potential to revolutionize healthcare. It can provide insights into genetic predispositions, disease prevention, conservation of genetic data for genetic diversity, personalized treatments, and understanding of rare diseases. However, traditional methods of maintaining genomic data have data security and integrity issues. This research project addresses these challenges by utilizing the power of blockchain technology to develop decentralized, secure, and efficient management in healthcare. This study introduces a blockchain-centric framework for facilitating secure access to extensive genomic data, thereby empowering researchers to retrieve pertinent genetic information without compromising individual privacy. By implementing this system, researchers can elevate the medical sector by studying genetic data, developing personalized healthcare solutions, and enhancing patient outcomes while ensuring the privacy of personal information. The outcomes of our project indicate that proprietors of genetic data can assert control, deriving advantages from the immutability and security of data inherent in blockchain technology. Consequently, this approach diminishes reliance on external entities or genetic management organizations, fostering heightened transparency and averting monopolization of genetic data. Our distinctive methodology extends beyond technological considerations, underscored by a steadfast commitment to data security, ethical data utilization, robust support for researchers, and the unwavering commitment to positioning our platform as a vanguard in global healthcare advancements.
