LEWES, Del., Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As the New
Year is upon us and health and wellness are at the top of most
people's minds; EncrypGen kicks off the year with a new viazoi
partnership that will serve health minded individuals and the
scientific community alike. People who want to gain insights about
their own unique biology to help manage their wellness may now buy
viazoi test kits in the Gene-Chain Marketplace.
A division of Foundation Laboratory, viazoi, is a leader for
at-home wellness testing providing people with actionable
biological insights that supports their personal wellness journey.
EncrypGen adding a partner like viazoi goes hand-and-hand with the
company's core values of data privacy and control allowing
customers to profit by DNA cryptocurrency if they want to sell
their data to scientist or researchers.
"For the first time in history, the average person has
affordable and direct access to the biology within them, from genes
to gut microbes and proteins. This information can help an
individual when making choices for overall well-being," states
President of viazoi, Evangeline
Gonzalez. "Viazoi is dedicated to making this information
affordable and understandable in such a way that it can have a real
impact on a person's life and daily choices."
As a Gene-Chain Marketplace partner, viazoi easily enables
health minded individuals by providing a suite of products that can
help them manage their personal wellness and secure their genomic
data, and in addition, viazoi testing kits may be purchased with
DNA tokens, yet another use case for spending the
cryptocurrency.
How will this partnership impact individuals making decisions
for their overall well-being, health and controlling their data?
Here are a few ways:
*First, viazoi translates biological results into customized
programs, unique to each person due to the company believing the
first step in wellness is information. It's the combination of life
choices and a person's genetic code that makes up their unique
biology...their U-ology™.
*Second, viazoi's tests and analysis assist people to make more
informed choices about what food they eat, health products they
use, types and amounts of exercise they do, and more. All of which
can significantly improve the outcomes of wellness goals.
*Third, viazoi simplifies the process of DNA testing by
providing an easy, at-home genetic test that only requires a simple
cheek swab.
*Ownership and control of genomic data is where the EncrypGen
partnership comes full-circle by empowering customers to buy viazoi
at-home test kits with DNA tokens, securely uploading their test
results and having them indexed on EncrypGen's Gene-Chain
platform.
*Finally, Individuals who decide to share their data with
scientists and researchers to help find better treatments and cures
for diseases can start earning Encrygen's DNA tokens for selling
their de-identified genomic data in the Gene-Chain Marketplace.
"When viazoi reached out to us, it was clear they shared our
point of view about data ownership and individual empowerment. We
are excited to add their services to our customer marketplace and
looking forward to accommodating their testing customers into our
Gene-Chain," explains CEO and Co-Founder of EncrypGen, David Koepsell, J.D., Ph.D. "We are extremely
proud to become partners with viazoi to help their customers
control and even monetize their data. We are including their
products in our marketplace and tests can be bought with DNA tokens
or PayPal."
"Collaborations and partnerships such as viazoi and EncrypGen
are essential to not only the individual who benefits from learning
about their body in order to realize their wellness goals but also
allowing the scientific community to have access to pooled
anonymous data which will really accelerate the greater
understanding of how to age gracefully," comments Steve Jordan, (BS, CSCS, CES, PES, CPT, HLC) an
advocate for health and wellness for viazoi. "This is great for
both the individuals but also for society. It is the future."
