Abstract
The system disclosed implements a secure method for facilitating secure exchange of health information among various stakeholders, including data owners or contributors, data requestors or miners, and medical providers, including hospitals, clinics, and research laboratories. Additional aspects of the system provide means for conducting secure research on health data collected from data contributors. Health information is exchanged using a decentralized system that incentivizes data contributors to provide health data to data miners. The data miners, which may be pharmaceutical companies, medical laboratories, or hospitals, use various methods in order to perform research on aggregated contributor data, while maintaining contributor privacy.
