Software applications are provided for integrating individual multi-sourced patient healthcare transaction data records in a longitudinal database. The data records are processed in a manner which preserves patient privacy by encrypting patient-identifying attributes in the data records and thereby rendering sensitive personal information inaccessible. The applications, which may be organized as modules using common frame work components, are designed to process the multi-sourced data records at data supplier sites and at a common database assembly facility. The applications provide the data supplier sites and the database facility with methods for acquiring attributes, standardizing formats, encryption key generation, and encrypting and decrypting attributes in the data records. The encryption application provides methods for double encryption of the data records at data supplier sites using a key specific to a data supplier and a key specific to the database facility.

A computer-implemented method for generating a longitudinal data profile from multiple disparate data sources is provided. The method includes storing, at a central data hub, first de-identified data received from a first data source, the first de-identified data including a plurality of data records having encrypted identifying data and an anonymous ID assigned to each record, wherein the anonymous ID is assigned based on a master list that includes a list of identifiers and corresponding anonymous IDs for each identifier. The method further includes storing second de-identified data received from a second data source, and storing third de-identified data received from a third data source. The method further includes processing the first, second, and third de-identified data to link the first, second, and third de-identified data using the anonymous ID, and generating the longitudinal data profile from the linked first, second, and third de-identified data.

A longitudinal database of de-identified patient healthcare transaction data records linked by longitudinal linking tags (IDs) is provided. A new healthcare transaction data record, which may include alphanumeric identification code attributes, third party attributes and/or demographic attributes, is assigned an linking ID associated with a previous healthcare transaction data record based upon successful comparison of either a designated set of identification code attributes or a designated set of demographic attributes. The longitudinal data base is assembled by a matching process in which a new data record is compared level by level with previous healthcare transaction data records through a hierarchy of a first series of matching levels each defined by a designated set of alphanumeric identification code attributes and a second series of matching levels each defined by a designated set of attributes including demographic attributes and then assigned the ID associated with a successfully matched reference data record.

The disclosed technology enables, among other things, the identification of persons and the characterization of mental perceptions (e.g., pain, fatigue, mood) and/or intent (e.g., to perform an action) for medical, safety, home care, and other purposes. Of significance are applications that require long-term patient monitoring, such as tracking disease progression (e.g., multiple sclerosis), or monitoring treatment or rehabilitation efficacy. Therefore, longitudinal data must be acquired over time for the person's identity and other characteristics (e.g., pain level, usage of a cane). However, conventional methods of person identification (e.g., photography) acquire unnecessary personal information, resulting in privacy concerns. The disclosed technology allows measurements to be performed while protecting privacy and functions with partial or incomplete measurements, making it robust to real-world (noisy, uncontrolled) settings, such as in a person's home (whether living alone or with others).

Systems and processes for assembling de-identified patient healthcare data records in a longitudinal database are provided. The systems and processes may be implemented over multiple data suppliers and common database facilities while ensuring patient privacy. At the data supplier locations, patient-identifying attributes in the data records are placed in standard format and then doubly encrypted using a pair of encryption keys before transmission to a common database facility. The pair of encryption keys includes a key specific to the data supplier and a key specific to the common database facility. At the common database facility, the encryption specific to the data supplier is removed, so that multi-sourced data records have only the common database encryption. Without direct access to patient identifying-information, the encrypted data records are assigned dummy labels or tags by which the data records can be longitudinally linked in the database. The tags are assigned based on statistical matching of the values of a select set of encrypted data attributes with a reference database of tags and associated encrypted data attribute values.
