Short summary of the project

The Geenidoonor platform was developed to facilitate the collection of gene samples from Estonian citizens, helping to gather genetic data from 20% of the adult population. By leveraging Estonia’s digital authentication and signature solutions, the platform streamlined the consent process, enabling efficient and legal consent gathering for genomic research.

About the Customer

Institute of Genomics is part of University of Tartu which is Estonia’s leading centre of research and training. Institute of Genomics contributes to transdisciplinary research and application based on omics reseach and methods and also teaches University of Tartu students. Institute of Genomics was established to promote greater synergy between genomic-based research, teaching and other scientific fields.

Gene Donor Portal

To this date, Institute of Genomics has gathered gene samples from more than 200k Estonians (ca 20% of adults in Estonia). Before the gene donor portal, the consent of giving your genes to the government for research and development was given on paper. When the government drew a development plan for years 2017-2022, it was decided to give a budget to scale the number of gene donors from 50k to at least 150k. To handle the paperwork and legal consents needed from donors, we developed the gene donor portal which uses Estonian digital authentication and signature solutions to give legal power for the consents gathered.

Results of the project

The project successfully scaled gene donation in Estonia, increasing the number of participants from 50,000 to over 200,000. The platform eliminated paperwork, providing a seamless, legally compliant process for Estonians to contribute to genomic research.
