 Being healthy is the most important aspect of our lives, but we all need medical advice or attention at some time. These days, every interaction with a medical professional generates data. Even if it's just a copy of your prescription or a record of your vital statistics, a certain amount of data is collated and stored on information systems. These systems and the massive amounts of data they create are part of the most critical infrastructure of the technical world. The key to a more successful and productive health industry is collaboration among experts. Currently, healthcare data are isolated and rarely shared with the researchers and the community due to privacy issues. These privacy barriers are slowing down the pace of innovation and productivity of health experts. This wealth of data and knowledge could be used to help researchers come up with more efficient treatments and cures. We're developing cognitive solutions for our industry to help them select the best strategy and to help them understand the risks involved in the sharing process. The current compliance standards suffer from three major drawbacks. They are prohibitively slow and can take several months. They are not designed for real-time environments where you need dynamic access to data and they can't scale to today's volume and variety of data. Instead, they rely on error-prone manual assessments based on static assumptions and limited information. The IBM Data Privacy Toolkit is a cognitive solution that helps experts get answers to challenging questions. How can I discover and protect from privacy vulnerabilities in the data? What is the best data privacy strategy for my use cases? And how can I understand the risk of sharing the data? Our toolkit provides all the necessary information and guidance for identifying and protecting privacy vulnerabilities. Built with scalability in mind, it can deal with the velocity, volume and variety of the cognitive era. It equips decision makers with strategy layout and steps, the associated risks and the appropriate metrics to measure impact on the use cases. IBM Research is a creative cognitive solution to enable health researchers to share medical data through informed decisions. With the help of the IBM Data Privacy Toolkit, the slow traditional data privacy processes can be replaced with faster and more scalable solutions. It's an essential stepping stone to bring experts, researchers and data together faster in a controllable and private way.
