"Genecoin is a tech startup developing blockchain based solutions to maximize social and environmental sustainability of biodiversity supply chains.
As response to the pandemic, we adapted our biodiversity projects so we could further develop them virtually and we created an e-health project to help fight the disease. For the e-health project, we have partnered with the biotech startup Bio Bureau, who is developing technology for massive COVID-19 testing, and the Brazilian research center in telecommunication, CPqD. The goal of the partnership is to develop a blockchain application to safely store COVID-19 test results, guaranteeing both confidence in the information for all stakeholders and ownership and privacy for the patients.
We foresee that the platform could later be used as an immunity passport, allowing people return from isolation without endangering others and enabling the resume of some social and economic activities that would benefit all."

The blockchain platform could be used on the background to support different user facing applications, with different regional reach and characteristics.

On financial sustainability: we understand that the users data is valuable to different stakeholders that are willing to pay for it. The platform provides a channel for users to monetize their data and retains a fee in case they decide to do it.

The main tool being used is blockchain technology. We are leveraging it to safely store COVID-19 test results and empower the user (civil society) with control over their data. They are able to share their own data with government authorities in a transparent but private way (anonymized) or even monetize it by giving access to the private sector, if that’s their wish.
