Access to health data is essential for developing new treatments and medicines, but strict privacy regulations and fragmented data systems often make it difficult to harness its full potential. Two companies, Partisia and Journl, are set to change that.
Together they have created a secure and efficient way to share and analyze data without compromising citizen privacy. This is based on Partisia's advanced Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PET) and Journl's expertise in health data integration, standardization and automation.
The Aarhus-based tech company Partisia, which employs around 70 people, sees huge potential in the market. The company has therefore maximized its efforts to bring the technology to the entire healthcare sector, where it can help public actors use data securely and responsibly.
Health data research without an intermediary
Health data research is not new, but the traditional method often involves an intermediary collecting, analyzing and disseminating data. It's expensive, slow and doesn't give businesses and researchers direct access to the knowledge they need.
The new technology makes pharmaceutical development more efficient from the first lab trials to post-approval. By combining patient data, genetic analysis and more, researchers can adjust and conduct clinical trials faster. Important trade secrets are protected as IP critical data can be shared securely. The outcome is shorter development time, more precise treatments and better insight into long-term effects.
Secure data analysis without compromising privacy
With Partisia's technology, sensitive data can be analyzed securely and efficiently - without compromising citizens' privacy.
The process begins with Journl's integration technology harmonizing data from different sources for analysis. Then, Partisia's Decentralized Identity (DID) technology can ensure full transparency and control over data usage - either with or without consent, depending on the type of data and applicable regulations.
Partisia's Multi-Party Computation (MPC) then comes into effect - a technology that enables data processing without revealing the underlying information. During the process, all important events are stored in Partisia's private blockchain to ensure auditing, transparency and regulatory compliance.
