Since 60% to 90% of data breaches are caused by human error, protecting health care data requires the most secure solution available. At the same time, contributing to important health studies often means sharing sensitive data, which can feel like a trade-off between privacy and progress.

Blockchain technology is a secure system that keeps a permanent record of every transaction. Once something is recorded, it can't be changed, which helps track exactly when and how each transaction happened. This makes it useful for safely sharing data and medical records, supporting research and teamwork in health care.

How might we use data to drive health care improvements?

Our blockchain lab is exploring ways to make it possible to use your data safely and securely for research that drives innovation and improves health care. By protecting your privacy while enabling valuable insights, we can help bridge the gap between individual trust and scientific progress.

Blockchain technology is getting closer to giving patients the power to choose exactly what kind of data they’re comfortable sharing. For instance, someone living with diabetes can opt to share glucose meter readings and blood pressure data on the research portal, while keeping identifying details like their name, address, income or phone number completely private. People receiving care can make informed decisions about how their data is used and what kinds of information they want to contribute to medical research.

Your data matters

Our lab focuses on transforming patient data into real world improvements in health care. By studying trends, identifying gaps and testing new approaches in real world health settings, we help clinicians and researchers make more informed decisions. Every dataset helps refine health care practices and move the system forward.

In our lab, patient-contributed data is key to generating fresh ideas and solving real world health problems. With blockchain’s tamper resistant structure, even those hesitant to participate may be reassured by the enhanced security, leading to greater engagement. Ultimately, the more people contribute, the more we can benefit from improved care and innovation.
