Publishing occupational health data and enabling research
Challenge
Deal with sensitive data related to health at work, including confidential health and employment information.
Demonstrate that the anonymous data can be used for Open science and in the occupational health sector.
Enabling transparency in the context of the work of scientific publication.
Solution
Octopize's personal data anonymization solution has made it possible to free up the sharing of health data collected.
To allow the sharing of this very sensitive data, Octopize transmitted a new set of synthetic and anonymous data generated from the original data.
The Angers University Hospital and INSERM were then able to carry out a scientific publication with anonymous occupational health data.
The avatar method allows the search while guaranteeing the confidentiality thanks to maintaining the statistical properties of the original data set. It is an exclusivity!
Setting up
Anonymization service provided by Octopize remotely. Duration: 1 week.
Maintaining statistical quality & utility
ROI
An unprecedented opportunity to improve health conditions at work:
Share data thanks to avatar technology (respecting the quality of information & privacy of individuals)
Accelerating research in public health at work (publication of a scientific article: a first made possible thanks to the method)
First publication with anonymous occupational health data made possible thanks to the method. Find the scientific publication hither.
“Despite a large data set and a large number of variables, the Octopize software made it possible to generate synthetic data that could be used to conduct research at the scale of a cohort of individuals. The results are better than I expected! ” - Prof. Descatha, University Professor and Hospital Practitioner in Medicine and Occupational Health, @CHU d'Angers
