Case Study: Fresenius Medical Care achieves 25X faster global dialysis insights with Privacy Analytics

Fresenius Medical Care speeds global dialysis insights 25X with Privacy Analytics

Fresenius Medical Care, a global provider of kidney dialysis services, faced the challenge of aggregating clinical data from over 40 countries with differing privacy regulations to create a unified research database. They engaged the expertise of Privacy Analytics to help anonymize the patient data and navigate the complex global privacy requirements, including GDPR and HIPAA.

Privacy Analytics implemented a strategic anonymization plan, using an innovative privacy-preserving method to assess risks from data extracts and recommend necessary changes. The solution resulted in the creation of the Apollo Dial DB, a fully anonymized global database. This provided a 25-fold increase in the speed for analysts to access data, reducing the time from six months to less than a week, and has already launched 15 clinical improvement projects.
