Decentralized data sharing network for healthcare.

Using our federated model, create a data sharing network amongst various organizations who wish to continue to host their own data.

 

The current challenges with data sharing networks

A data sharing network allows an organization to generate better insights by enhancing their internal datasets with external datasets. In many cases, in order to participate in a data sharing network, organizations must send their datasets to a centralized repository that is controlled by a third party. Sending data to a third party increases the chances of a data privacy breach and hosting data in a centralized repository requires organizations to relinquish control of their datasets including what data is shared, who can access the data, and what they can do with that data.

 

How it works

Bitnobi acts as a mediator, placing the onus for launching data jobs on the end user by ensuring that the end user meets the data provider's "rules of engagement".

  • 1. Define user attributes

    Data owners can define the rules of engagement for each data set based on their organization's data governance standards.

  • 2. Enable preview of data

    Based on the rules of engagement created by data owners, end users will be able to see previews of the data they have access to.

  • 3. Build a data job

    End users will be able to use their data previews to create queries simply with Bitnobi’s visual workflow canvas.

  • 4. Secure transformed, aggregate data only

    End users are able to see preview results from their query and visualize it using our simple reporting tool or integrations with other reporting tools.

End-user Benefits.

  • Opportunity to access usually difficult to request data from external partners to further research and data analysis activities 

  • Access approved internal and external datasets all from a single Bitnobi account

  • Seamlessly combine datasets from multiple sources

Data Owner Benefits.

  • Enable an end user to access data from two or more proprietary data sources in real-time

  • Facilitate the creation, setup and operation of a data sharing network

  • Provide transparency to all stakeholders involved in the data sharing network

  • Maintain full control of proprietary datasets during third-party data collaborations

Decentralized data sharing network use case example.

Jane Smith works for Company A as a researcher in the mental health department. Jane’s company, Company A, is a member of a decentralized data-sharing network with Companies B and C. Jane needs to combine datasets from Companies B and C to answer a research question…
