Enables development of AI algorithms for better treatments and patient care

Enables new possibilities for Health Economics and Value-based Healthcare 

Anonymized data is "GDPR free"

One of the big advantages of anonymized data is that according to GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulation), it is not considered as personal data.

It is therefore easier and faster to pool anonymized data from many sources and create larger datasets, which can be utilized in many ways.

EU GDPR RECITAL 26:

"The principles of data protection should apply to any information concerning an identified or identifiable natural person.

Personal data which have undergone pseudonymisation, which could be attributed to a natural person by the use of additional information should be considered to be information on an identifiable natural person.


...


The principles of data protection should therefore not apply to anonymous information, namely information which does not relate to an identified or identifiable natural person or to personal data rendered anonymous in such a manner that the data subject is not or no longer identifiable.

This Regulation does not therefore concern the processing of such anonymous information, including for statistical or research purposes."

The Silo Problem

More information is better, but accessing or combining sensitive data is difficult  -  personal privacy must be protected. Because of this, data is often stuck in silos.

Sensitive data and pseudonymized data, restricted by GDPR legislation, are often the most difficult to access and least secure. But anonymized data and synthetic data can be shared much more easily.

In all, VEIL.AI can enable multi-party data integration and collaboration without the transfer of sensitive data, allowing data across borders or organizations to be combined, analyzed, and shared safely.

Before: Data in silos

  • Not easy to access
  • Requires a lot of time to get permits
  • Challenging to combine and pool data
  • GDPR restrictions apply

Data cannot be used in an optimal way. Data in silos may even prevent research, innovation and development projects from starting

Now: VEIL.AI's unique technology

Anonymization done at each data source, only anonymized data shared. VEIL.AI’s solution enables:

  • Easier access to data
  • Combining and pooling datasets
  • Anonymized (and synthesized) data are “GDPR free” - therefore sharing and transferring of data is easy
  • Opens new opportunities to utilize sensitive health data thanks to advanced anonymization / synthetic data

Pseudonymized data vs. Anonymized data

Many healthcare professionals are familiar with pseudonymized data, but do not know the benefits of anonymized data. Advanced anonymized data can provide a solution in many cases where pseudonymized data cannot help.

Pseudonymized data

Pros

  • Often most common form of data in research activities
  • Ability to reverse pseudonymization to identify a single individual (e.g. backtracking to patient for incidental findings or compliance)
  • Reduces the most common privacy violation: unnecessary or malicious access to data by authorized users

Cons

  • Sharing of data restricted: pseudonymized data is still considered personal data under GDPR and regulated as strictly as data containing direct identifiers in Europe
  • Pooling larger datasets from different countries / sites is difficult or impossible (e.g. for investigating rare endpoints or diseases)
  • Use for research, development, and innovation restricted and can be difficult & time-consuming (delays from months to years)
  • Can only be used according to permits for specified usages - not possible to use for other purposes

Anonymized data

Pros

  • Can be shared freely; anonymized data no longer considered personal data under GDPR (not subject to privacy legislation)
  • Pooling larger datasets from different countries / sites is possible, and with standard data models is easy (e.g. RWE studies or integrated data analysis platforms)
  • Enables easier and faster use for research and innovation (when it is difficult due to legal reasons/regulations)
  • Enables better interoperability for value-based care (e.g. between sites / hospitals / countries)
  • Can be offered as an alternative to federated architectures
  • High utility in AI algorithm development
  • Can draw the same conclusions as from original data (with advanced anonymization)
  • Strong privacy protection

Cons

  • No ability to link additional content to a dataset on an individual participant level
  • When done badly, interesting and useful properties of the data may be lost

ConClusion

VEIL.AI offers solutions for both the pain-free management of pseudonymized data and advanced, high quality anonymization at row level. If you are interested in making your data management life easier and releasing the power of data, we are happy to discuss how we can help.

Why do our customers and partners want to collaborate with us?

Solutions for Pharma companies, Hospitals, Biobanks and all organizations handling sensitive data.

"We want to get better access to health data"

VEIL.AI’s advanced anonymization enables access to sensitive data. You can utilize data faster, more easily and more securely.

“We want to produce more Real World Evidence”

The importance of Real World Evidence is increasing. We can help you to, for example, improve your capability to create and utilize RWE.

“We want to utilize health data for secondary uses”

Anonymized datasets are not restricted by GDPR / HIPAA and can be utilized for research, development and innovation.

“We want to combine health data from different countries and sites”

Anonymized data allows for easier transfer and larger data set generation. Utilize pooled data for the study of rare diseases, rare endpoints and events.

“We want to reduce the costs of clinical trials”


Advanced anonymized data is required if you are planning to reduce the cost and increase the speed of clinical trials. Your RCT data  can be re-used and your data becomes more valuable.

“We want to increase evidence generation efficiency”

Good quality data is essential also in decentralized clinical trials. Let us help you increase your evidence generation process with better data for RWE and Predictive Evidence.

“We want to improve our data science capabilities”

Advanced anonymization can give more and better data, allowing your data scientists to increase the scope of their work and enabling new possibilities.

“We want to strengthen our data strategy”

Need a sparring partner or consultant to develop your organization’s processes and strategy concerning data anonymization?

“We want to collect data from wearables and IoT devices”

The VEIL.AI Anonymization Engine is the most effective solution to anonymize streamed accumulating data from wearables, Medical devices and IoT devices.

“We want to develop AI algorithms for better treatments”

In order to develop better treatments for patients, AI algorithms may be utilized. We specialize in creating synthetic data from health data.

“We want to enable better interoperability”

Value-based care requires sharing of data, for instance by interoperability. Advance anonymization can be a key tool in the data sharing needed for value-based care, and an alternative to federated architecture. 

“We want a reliable pseudonymization and consent management solution”

We provide both ready-made and custom user solutions for biobanks and hospitals. In addition, flexible technical service is available.
