MedCo is the first operational system that makes sensitive medical-data available for research in a simple, privacy-conscious and secure way. It enables hundreds of clinical sites to collectively protect their data and to securely share them with investigators, without single points of failure. MedCo comes as an add-on of i2b2 core installation.
MedCo applies advanced privacy-enhancing techniques, such as:
  • Collective homomorphic encryption;
  • Secure distributed protocols;
  • Blockchains;
  • Differential privacy.
