Medical Genetics
Why Genetic Data Security Is Critical
Genetic data contains the most sensitive personal information of an individual. DNA sequences can reveal disease predispositions, family connections, and ethnic origin.
Cloud Solution Risks
Most current genetic analysis platforms are cloud-based, sending patient data to servers in Switzerland, the US, or other countries. This creates compliance risks with local data protection regulations.
Allelyn's Approach: 100% Local
Allelyn runs entirely within the hospital:
- No internet connection needed — Device works offline
- Data never leaves the device — All analysis is local
- Encrypted storage — Results stored with encryption
- ISO 15189 audit trail — All operations are logged
Conclusion
Genetic data security is critical for patient privacy and legal compliance. Allelyn solves this fundamentally with its 100% local operation.
