Explore the latest advances in decentralized technologies for medical and bioinformatics data.
Jupiter, FL— Scheduled to broadcast spring 2022, an upcoming episode of the award-winning television series, Advancements with Ted Danson, will focus on innovations in decentralized healthcare technologies.
As a promising technology, the field of genetic testing is experiencing dramatic growth. This segment of Advancements will explore how genetic testing is providing individuals with specific information about their health and inherent risk for disease and disability, and how genetically determined risk predictions are being used to design treatments based on genetic and non-genetic factors. Spectators will see how the predictive nature inherent in genetic testing also makes it liable for misuse.
Hearing from experts in IT, blockchain development, and biology, viewers will learn how Decentralized Bio Network (DeBio) aims to democratize direct-to-consumer genomics with a privacy-preserving, anonymous-first platform running on a fully decentralized, autonomous infrastructure.
“DeBio is designed to prevent genetic data misuse, privacy and security violations, and the practice of selling genetic data without consent. We are implementing transformative technologies including Octopus Network’s Substrate implementation on NEAR protocol, privacy computing, data tokenization and IPFS’s decentralized storage – to fulfill this mission,” said Pandu Sastrowardoyo, CEO of DeBio Network.
“Genetic discrimination has kept individuals from receiving proper health care, insurance, and employment. We look forward to exploring how technology is being used to secure and protect genetic information,” said Tamara Phillips, producer for the Advancements series.
