There are two ways your health data could be stored: as a fortress or as butterflies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is an interesting part.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want your data to be in a fortress.\u00a0 You want it to be a group of butterflies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In our ongoing educational series, Daniel Satchkov, head of machine learning at WellAI, introduces the two types of data security models and explains why your health data could be at risk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So why don\u2019t you want your health data to be stored in a central place, such as an EHR system?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If something is stored in a centralized way, it will inevitably be stolen.\u00a0 For example, during Google\u2019s Project Nightingale four years ago the data wasn\u2019t stolen.\u00a0 But Google was forced to cancel the project because of public outcry that Google was opting patients in to store their data on Google servers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All fortresses are destined to fall at some point.\u00a0 In a fortress, patients\u2019 data is concentrated in one central place.\u00a0 Yes, that place is a fortress (e.g. Google\u2019s cloud).\u00a0 But it\u2019s a high-risk fortress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is also a risk of a human factor.\u00a0 Data fortresses are run by humans after all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you have probably guessed, a fortress is an example of centralization.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Butterflies are an example of decentralization.\u00a0 In blockchain, there is a very important component: everyone holds their own keys to the \u201ccastle\u201d.\u00a0 Instead of a group of butterflies, a better example would be a group of fortresses.\u00a0 In blockchain, every person\u2019s private key is a fortress.\u00a0 It\u2019s therefore exponentially much harder for hackers to break into a decentralized system.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Decentralization is critical for humans, in particular for providing data privacy in healthcare and other industries.<\/strong><\/p>\n
