Project description

Cryptography-based platform for EU healthcare data analytics

Scientific and clinical research is often fragmented and can lead to inconclusive or contradicting results. Therefore, for more powerful observations, it is important to integrate studies and share results among different research groups. However, this has its own pitfalls, since data can be sensitive or subjected to GDPR regulations. The answer to this conundrum comes from the EU-funded LEAP project, which utilises advanced cryptography to provide a clever way of analysing multisource data without disclosing sensitive information. The LEAP platform facilitates multiparty secure data analytics, offering real-time insight of the result. Moreover, it can support collaboration among different stakeholders.

Objective

Linksight is on a mission to make secure data analytics easy and scalable. We enable our customers to create data driven insights out of distributed datasets, without sharing any sensitive data. How? Through the magic of advanced cryptography such as MPC and blockchain.

We focus on healthcare. The EU healthcare system cannot maintain its affordability and accessibility unless new technologies and new ways of working are adopted, such as telemedicine and eHealth. We need a structured approach to validate which intervention works, and which does not. To get that answer, this requires data sharing between hospitals and insurers. How to bring all that data together while complying with the GDPR?

Our platform solves this issue. We enable hospitals and health insurers to do analytics by themselves and keep control over their own data at all times. No need for third parties, no need for expensive academic data research.

Our female CEO and co-founder Martine started the first exploration of our solution 4 years ago. We co-created a first product together with healthcare organisations, and were the first in NL to perform MPC on real patient data. Martines contribution lies in setting and expressing the long term vision and goals, and to providing structure: she makes sure things get done. In addition she uses her empathic skills, she has a keen eye for everyone’s needs and makes sure everybody is on board. This is especially important, as we enable groups of organizations to collaborate on data.

With this grant we hope to take the next LEAP and achieve 3 things:

1. Make content so we can explain the possibilities of secure data analytics to a variety of stakeholders: from doctors to lawyers to IT-people
2. Improve the onboarding on our platform, so our clients can easily connect to each other and set up a secure data collaborations in just 3 clicks
3. Improve Martine’s own leadership capabilities by learning from other female founders and be coaching and training.
