Patient Data Sharing Controls
Complete patient-centric control over data sharing, researcher access, and privacy preferences.
Patient-Centric Model
MediPact puts patients in complete control of their data sharing. Unlike traditional systems where hospitals or platforms control access, patients decide who can access their data and under what conditions.
Global Sharing Preferences
Opt-In/Opt-Out
Patients can globally enable or disable data sharing for research. When disabled, no researcher can access the patient's data, regardless of other settings.
Granular Controls
Verified Researchers
Control whether verified researchers can access your data automatically or require approval.
Unverified Researchers
Control whether unverified researchers can request access to your data.
Bulk Purchases
Control whether your data can be included in bulk dataset purchases.
Sensitive Data
Control sharing of sensitive medical data (rare conditions, mental health, etc.).
Minimum Price
Patients can set a minimum price per record for their data. Researchers must pay at least this amount to access the patient's data.
Researcher Approval System
Pending Requests
When a researcher requests access to a patient's data, the patient receives a notification with:
- Researcher organization name and email
- Verification status (verified/unverified)
- Request purpose and conditions
- Date of request
Approval Actions
✅ Approve
Grant access to the researcher. They can now query and purchase your data.
❌ Reject
Deny this specific request. The researcher can request again in the future.
🚫 Block
Permanently block this researcher. All future requests are automatically denied.
Approved Researchers
Patients can view all approved researchers and revoke access at any time. Revocation takes effect immediately and prevents future access.
Query Filtering
Automatic Filtering
All queries are automatically filtered based on patient preferences:
Access History
Complete Audit Trail
Patients can view a complete history of who accessed their data, when, and how much revenue was generated:
| Information Tracked |
|---|
| Researcher organization and email |
| Date and time of access |
| Number of records accessed |
| Dataset ID (if purchased) |
| Revenue amount (patient's 60% share) |
Temporary Hospital Access
Telemedicine Support
Hospitals can request temporary access to a patient's data from another hospital for telemedicine purposes. Patients must approve these requests, and access is automatically revoked after the specified duration (15 minutes to 24 hours).
Request Process
- Hospital requests access with duration
- Patient receives notification
- Patient approves or rejects
- Data re-encrypted for requesting hospital
Automatic Expiration
- Access expires after time limit
- Background job cleans up expired access
- Patient can revoke access anytime
- No impact on revenue distribution
