Abstract:
Patient health data are often found spread across various sources. However, precision medicine and personalized care requires access to the complete medical records. The first step towards this is to enable the linkage of health records spread across different sites. Existing record linkage solutions assume that data is centralized with no privacy/security concerns restricting sharing. However, that is often untrue. Therefore, we design and implement a portable method for privacy-preserving record linkage based on garbled circuits to accurately and securely match records. We also develop a novel approximate matching mechanism that significantly improves efficiency.

Phosphodiester Linkages
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
Phosphodiester Bonds Link Nucleotides Together
DNA and RNA are polynucleotides or long chains of nucleotides that are linked together. A nucleotide is...
