New developments
The newest trend is the development of Privacy enhancing technologies (PET). These technologies allow data to be analyzed and shared in ways that protect people’s privacy. They are ways to use data for good without putting people’s privacy at risk. This comes in handy, especially for sensitive health data. They are crucial to building trust and encouraging people to participate in data initiatives. For example, a research study wants to analyze health data from thousands of people. Traditionally, they have to collect data and store it in a central location, which raises privacy concerns. With these PET, the analysis can be done without ever having to move the data from where it is originally stored. You can get the insights you need without putting everyone’s data at risk. These are innovative solutions to address the challenges and unlock the full potential of data solidarity.
