How does GenV work? 01 We seek consent to collect information about you and your baby Information is only collected with your consent. A GenV team member will talk you through the process and answer your questions. If you decide not to consent at that point, you can join us later. 02 Information is collected, de-identified and secured Some information and samples are collected when you consent. We then start bringing together data that is already held by services and agencies, asking you for information along the way. Information is de-identified to separate personal identifiers and research data. All information is stored securely and held by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute at The Royal Children’s Hospital. 03 Researchers look for trends and patterns Researchers use the data to discover the answers to how we can predict, prevent and treat health and wellbeing problems better than we can today. 04 The insights are used to improve health and wellbeing Research findings are used to make changes to the way health, education and social services are delivered, improving the health and wellbeing of children and their families.
