About Privacy AnalyticsPrivacy Analytics is the trusted, proven way to unlock protected health information.

There is a rapidly growing need to de-identify data to solve some of healthcare’s most challenging problems. As this need grows, so do concerns over privacy of protected health information (PHI). To address this, organizations must de-identify personal information using a risk-based approach that goes beyond simple masking techniques in order to produce a high quality dataset that meets their specific needs for secondary use like sophisticated research and analytics.

 Privacy Analytics allows healthcare organizations to quickly and easily apply a responsible de-identification methodology that ensures individual privacy and legal compliance.

Leading health care companies and academic and research organizations use Privacy Analytics products and services to produce de-identified data sets for a wide range of secondary purposes. This includes research, data monetization, product development, marketing and surveillance. For more information, please visit:  http://www.privacy-analytics.com/
