Project description
New data storage system could bring genomics data to the fingertips of healthcare centres
Precision medicine looks at an individual’s genetic information, which helps healthcare providers assess how a patient’s unique genetics contribute to their health, susceptibility or resilience to disease, or response to a treatment. This unprecedented demand for storing genomics data calls for the development of low-cost, secure and scalable data management platforms. Current systems are either costly or demonstrate poor performance. The EU-funded BASEPORT project plans to develop a cost-effective, low-power, high-performance and scalable data storage and computing system for health and pharma institutions to manage data operations securely and reliably. The new data storage system should help democratise the use of genetic analyses in the healthcare industry, especially amongst small healthcare centres and clinics that cannot afford expensive, power-hungry systems.
Objective
New healthcare technologies, e.g. gene sequencing and modular scaling of storage & processing capacity (potential patent). Features:
(1) Low power and low heat dissipation
(2) Small volume & low weight
(3) Product life-cycle 4x times longer (decades)
(4) Data required for the lifetime of patients (and then more, as they might have importance for their descents) requires legacy systems.
(5) Massive management & operations costs
Current alternatives are either too costly, or exhibit low reliability and/or performance, and none of them achieve the right level of security:
(1) Data-storage rack systems require high-power for operation & cooling, large space & special flooring (heavy, cooling), high maintenance & operation costs, low HW lifecycle (3-5 years).
(2) Cloud storage solutions do not comply with emerging data privacy regulations (e.g. GDPR) and suffer from strong data transfer latencies.
BASEPORT genome sequencing and storage systems helps democratise the use of genetic analyses on healthcare, especially among small health-centres and clinics that cannot afford current expensive, power-hungry systems requiring specialised data-centres, while also providing a secure data vault to keep data safe and secure, helping them comply with most rigorous regulations (e.g. ISO27001, EU’s GDPR, NIST).
BASEPORT is a cost-effective, low-power, scalable, high-performance data storage and computing system designed for health & pharma institutions to securely and reliably manage data operations. It is designed in a unique form-factor to be a long-lasting system (decades long lifecycle). Our technology allows for a significant reduction in carbon footprint and decreases overall costs for data storage and management.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
