The gene source chain system will create the world's first distributed storage network public chain system that provides genetic data and individual health data. Health and medical providers, including chronic disease management agencies and health counseling providers, can use the Gene Source Chain System to create DApps. These applications will provide users with personalized and accurate health services based on genome and health data, subject to user consent. As a proof of concept, the Gene Source Chain Foundation will also support the creation of a gamified health DApp to help build the ecosystem.
Hedera is a decentralized public network where developers can build secure, fair applications with near real-time consensus. The platform is owned and governed by a council of global innovators including Avery Dennison, Boeing, Deutsche Telekom, DLA Piper, FIS (WorldPay), Google, IBM, LG Electronics, Magalu, Nomura, Swirlds, Tata Communications, University College London (UCL), Wipro, and Zain Group. The Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) acts as a trust layer for any application or permissioned network and allows for the creation of an immutable and verifiable log of messages. Application messages are submitted to the Hedera network for consensus, given a trusted timestamp, and fairly ordered. Use HCS to track assets across a supply chain, create auditable logs of events in an advertising platform, or even use it as a decentralized ordering service.
