Announces TripleBlind Exchange: Selfii’s Secure HIPAA-Compliant Health Data Access
Selfii, a leader in privacy-preserving health data solutions for individuals and healthcare organizations, announces the launch of its groundbreaking data marketplace, TripleBlind Exchange. This innovative platform provides secure, HIPAA/GDPR-compliant access to protected health information (PHI) without relying on traditional de-identification methods. The launch of TripleBlind Exchange announces a new era of data-sharing solutions, offering a safer and more efficient way to access sensitive health data while maintaining privacy.
In a move that further enhances its capabilities, Selfii announces the acquisition of Privacy Suite from TripleBlind, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey to revolutionize healthcare data access. This acquisition unlocks unprecedented data collaboration across the healthcare landscape and removes long-standing technical and governance barriers. Anil Sethi, founder and CEO of Selfii, announces that this acquisition, completed in 2024, will facilitate effective innovation and the development of modern healthcare solutions, while ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
Selfii’s exclusive, patented privacy algorithms are a key feature of the new integration. These algorithms allow application developers to securely access and work with PHI without relying on traditional de-identification methods. In addition, Selfii announces the availability of large language models (LLMs) for developers to train and deploy models on the TripleBlind Exchange. This novel solution enables healthcare providers, researchers, and AI developers to harness high-quality data for analysis, while keeping patient privacy intact and complying with HIPAA guidelines.
TripleBlind Exchange announces a new way for users to buy, sell, and rent data while preserving confidentiality. By leaving the data in place, the platform ensures the complete protection of PHI, addressing previous barriers to data access. This new model allows users to collaborate securely on data-driven applications and engage in data monetization, marking a major leap forward in healthcare innovation. Selfii announces that this solution will make it easier to access sensitive healthcare data, enabling innovation without compromising compliance with privacy regulations.
Bradley Malin, PhD, a renowned HIPAA privacy expert, confirms that TripleBlind’s data protection models meet the de-identification requirements of the HIPAA Privacy Rule and state-level data protection acts, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). This announcement validates the strength and reliability of TripleBlind Exchange in safeguarding data while allowing PHI access for analytics and innovation.
Sethi reflects on the challenges that healthcare innovation has faced due to fragmented data and strict privacy regulations. He announces that the TripleBlind Exchange addresses these limitations by enabling analytics without compromising PHI protection. “Across my 40-year career in health tech, I’ve seen how critical innovations have been hindered by fragmented data and rigid privacy barriers,” said Sethi. “Our novel TripleBlind Exchange eliminates these barriers and enables healthcare providers, researchers, and AI developers to unlock insights and drive breakthroughs—while keeping PHI completely protected.”
The market for de-identified healthcare data is growing rapidly, with an expected value of $8.09 billion in 2024, projected to reach $13.5 billion by 2030. Selfii announces that the TripleBlind Exchange is the only solution that successfully combines complete data protection with full access for analytics, positioning the platform to accelerate healthcare innovation. The Exchange allows for secure data sharing, unlocking the potential for new discoveries in healthcare while adhering to privacy regulations.
Catherine K. Craven, PhD, MA, MLS, FAMIA, a customer of the TripleBlind Exchange, announces the positive impact the platform has had on her work. As a fellow at the American Medical Informatics Association, Craven highlights how the Exchange transformed her organization’s reporting for a liver cancer prevention and hepatitis screening program in South Texas. “What once took days of manual effort is now accomplished in minutes, allowing us to focus on improving care for underserved populations,” Craven said.
Selfii announces that the TripleBlind Exchange is now available to all healthcare organizations, with individual access coming soon. The platform offers several key benefits to the healthcare market, including:
- AI Model Training and Large Dataset Analysis: Healthcare organizations can securely analyze large datasets and train AI models to improve clinical outcomes, all while ensuring patient data privacy.
- Collaboration Across Organizations: The platform enables the integration of data and algorithms from various organizations with configurable privacy settings, expediting the development of new therapies and technologies.
- Global Data and Algorithm Connectivity: By connecting global datasets and algorithms, the Exchange offers a comprehensive view of patient care, enabling better decision-making and improving overall healthcare delivery.
As Selfii continues to expand its presence in the healthcare sector, the company announces that it is becoming a major player in privacy-first health-tech innovation. With partnerships across over 20 state and regional health information exchanges (HIEs), and collaborations with TEFCA and national networks, Selfii now supports more than 128 million individuals nationwide. This positions Selfii as one of the largest patient data networks in the U.S., driving forward privacy-first solutions that empower healthcare organizations to innovate securely and effectively.
Selfii announces that its vision for the future of healthcare is built on privacy, security, and innovation. Combining cutting-edge technology with a deep commitment to patient privacy, Selfii is redefining how healthcare data is accessed, shared, and utilized to improve patient outcomes. With the launch of TripleBlind Exchange, Selfii announces its leadership in ushering in a new era of healthcare data collaboration, helping to drive medical research, diagnostics, and treatment development.
