The challenge:
Clinical & multi-omic data is siloed and inaccessible
97% of life-saving health data is inaccessible and unusable due to sensitivity and fragmentation. Difficultly in accessing, connecting and analyzing large cohorts is limiting scientific discovery and health insights.
The solution:
Securely connect, access & analyze distributed data in situ
Lifebit's federated data solutions enable researchers to securely access and use distributed clinical and multi-omic data at scale, across networks, by bringing the analysis and computation to where the data resides. Uniquely keeping data in situ enables scalable data research while keeping the data secure and protecting patient privacy.
What is federation?
Traditional platforms:
Centralised Computation
- Data is transferred out of the environment owned by the data custodian
- Data compute takes place in the platform vendor’s environment
- Total loss of monitoring and control of what happens to the data
- Duplicated storage cost, more expensive compute cost and unnecessary egress costs
Lifebit:
Federated Platform as a Service
- All data stays within the data custodian’s own environment
- Data computing takes place in the data custodian’s own environment
- Instant secure sharing of access to data
- Results can be securely approved for export via Lifebit Airlock
- Lowest possible cloud storage & analysis costs
Data collaboration without federation
- Data has to be moved from each participating institution to a central place, often a traditional platform vendor
- Each custodian loses control of their data as it becomes combined with other data
- Participating data custodians incur egress costs when moving their data to the vendor where computation is also significantly more expensive
What are the basic approaches to federation?
- While permanent storage of biobank data remains in its original environment, traditional platform vendors require data to be transferred temporarily out of the secure environment
- Users have federated access to distributed data in distributed storage
- Any analysis over the data has to happen centrally
- Data is temporarily streamed into a central computing instance in the vendor platform, resulting in loss of control over data
What is true multi-party federation?
- Data & computing stays in each organization’s environment & country
- Lifebit platform allows approved users to run joint queries across distributed datasets & databases and build cohorts of interests across the world
- Users can trigger joint analysis (e.g. federated GWAS) across different computing sites
- Secure & automated export and integration of results
