Humanos - Personal Data Sharing Consent Engine
Humanos is a blockchain-enabled consent engine that allows individuals to securely share their health data between public/private entities, ensuring full control, transparency, and GDPR-compliance.
The problem Humanos - Personal Data Sharing Consent Engine solves
Humanos solves the problem of fragmented personal data, enabling secure, consented, and GDPR-compliant sharing of data across various stakeholders. Our blockchain-powered consent engine ensures that individuals maintain full control and privacy over their data while sharing it with anyone they want. Data never leaves the original database. Instead, the blockchain-enabled consent unlocks the remote and temporary visualization of data. We're building for a world where everyone will have to share their personal data in a controlled and private way with thousands of AI/Human agents daily. Our first use case is in health where access to the right data is the difference between life and death.
What People Can Use It For:
- Seamless Data Sharing: Facilitate the secure, consented, and temporary health data sharing across different healthcare providers and institutions.
- Comprehensive Patient Care: Enable healthcare professionals to access complete patient histories, leading to better diagnosis and treatment plans.
- Research and Development: Researchers can access valuable health data sets, accelerating medical research and innovation while ensuring patient privacy.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensure all data sharing complies with GDPR, maintaining patient trust and avoiding legal complications.
How It Makes Existing Tasks Easier/Safer:
- Automated Consent Management: The process of obtaining and managing patient consent is streamlined and fully registered on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and immutability, while providing a tamper-proof record of data access and consent, that enhances the security of data, and empowers patients.
- Improved Efficiency: Reduce administrative workload and errors through automated consent workflows and real-time data access, eliminating the need for repeated tests.
- Interoperability: Bridge the gap between disparate health systems, enabling smooth data flow and improving healthcare delivery.
Challenges we ran into
- The greatest challenge we faced was answering a critical question: "How can we make blockchain technology accessible to users without smartphones?" While this might seem unusual for tech-savvy web3 users, it's crucial when considering individuals with health issues who need to share their personal health records with doctors, caregivers, or pharmacies. To address this, we've developed a revolutionary system built on Thirdweb that enables users to interact with the blockchain using only their national ID card and a smart card reader. This method is simultaneously the most user-friendly and non-technical way to engage with blockchain technology, and it provides the strongest KYC verification. Our system empowers any user, regardless of age, to have an EOA wallet and a Smart Account linked to their national ID card. The only requirements for account creation are a phone or email with proof of ownership and a national ID card. This innovation is a game-changer, bridging the gap between advanced technology and everyday accessibility.
- Signing the first contract with a healthcare provider presented a significant challenge. We currently have contracts signed with +70 hospitals/clinics, plus several labs, apps and elderly care homes. We're also participating in two test beds financed by the European Union with the goal of integrating our tech in two of the largest hospitals, unlocking data sharing for +5M people. We're also working with Bayer in building a business model for big pharma.
- Transforming blockchain into a GDPR-compliant solution, while navigating the complex legal landscape to align with various regulations across jurisdictions added another layer of difficult that's now beyond us.
