According to the Journal of the Korean Society of Internal Medicine, 106,000 people died from medicine harmful reactions in the United States in 2021, and about 5,700 people are measured every year in the United Kingdom. This ranks fourth in terms of mortality by overall disease. However, most consumers are not aware of the types of drugs that pose a threat to them, and misuse of medicine is frequent. To solve this problem, we propose 'GENO' that enables optimized diagnosis and prescription according to individual genetic characteristics. GENO with nanopore sequencing technology takes about 10 minutes to test and will be easily deployed wherever we commonly have access to drugs. Users can receive safer personalized prescriptions by controlling the level of use of drugs based on genetic data obtained through GENO, and permanently store and hold data on a card.
