Your medical record privacy — at your fingertips.
Take back your health records. Bank-level encryption. Zero compromise. Earn from every data point.
WHY WE'RE BUILDING MED-PRIVA
Here's something that will sound unbelievable: in 2026, less than half of Canadians can access their own health data. Your medical records — the most personal data you have — are locked inside your doctor's EMR, scattered across specialists, hospitals, and clinics, and completely inaccessible to you.
Need to transfer your records to a new doctor? Get ready for faxes, phone calls, and weeks of waiting. Some records never arrive at all.
Meanwhile, the global de-identified health data market is worth over $10 billion. Pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and governments pay enormous sums for anonymized health datasets. But that money flows to hospital systems and data brokers — never to the patients who actually generated the data.
This is broken. We're fixing it.
WHAT IS MED-PRIVA?
Med-Priva is a Canadian-built platform that does three things no one else is doing together:
1. GIVES YOU CONTROL OF YOUR RECORDS
We consolidate every medical record from every provider into one encrypted vault that belongs to you. Bank-level encryption protects it. You control who sees it, when they see it, and when access is revoked. Not your doctor. Not a hospital. You.
Your data stays on Canadian soil, hosted on Canadian infrastructure, governed by Canadian privacy law. Full portability — export your complete record at any time.
2. PAYS YOU FOR YOUR DATA
When you choose to contribute your anonymized data to research queries, clinical studies, or population health analytics, you earn data contribution credits. These credits determine your share of quarterly revenue distributions from data buyers.
The more complete your record, the more you earn. Longitudinal records with years of history command premium value. Rare conditions and underrepresented demographics are in especially high demand. Early contributors earn bonus credits that appreciate as the platform grows.
Your health data has been generating profit for decades. It's time that profit included you.
3. SAVES LIVES WITH YOUR DATA
When thousands of Canadians contribute their anonymized records, we build one of the most powerful health datasets ever assembled. Your data could help researchers:
- Discover which cancer treatments actually work for which demographics
- Track real vaccine efficacy and safety across populations
- Uncover chronic disease patterns invisible in fragmented datasets
- Spot dangerous drug interactions before they hurt more people
- Detect pandemic early warning signals before traditional surveillance catches up
Your records don't just earn for you — they could save someone's life.
WHY CANADA? WHY NOW?
In February 2026, the Canadian government reintroduced the Connected Care for Canadians Act — federal legislation mandating health data interoperability and prohibiting EMR vendors from blocking data transfers.
The government created the mandate. The platform doesn't exist yet. We're building it.
Every major competitor in this space — PicnicHealth ($97M raised), Truveta ($515M raised, $1B valuation), Galen (YC-backed) — is primarily US-focused. There is no dominant Canadian patient-owned health records platform.
Med-Priva is Canadian-built, Canadian-hosted, and designed for Canadian privacy law from the ground up.
WHO PAYS FOR THE DATA?
Med-Priva is free for patients. Revenue comes from the organizations who need this data most:
Research Institutions — Clinical researchers spend 18-24 months assembling study cohorts from fragmented sources. Our opt-in, longitudinal, anonymized data collapses that timeline to days.
Government & Public Health — Health ministries need population intelligence for policy decisions. Vaccine tracking, chronic disease burden, health equity monitoring — powered by consented citizen data.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech — Drug development averages $2.6 billion per approved therapy. Real-world outcomes data across diverse populations reshapes trial design and accelerates the path to better treatments.
HOW YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL BE USED
Every dollar is accounted for and reported to backers quarterly:
$55,000 — Platform & Infrastructure Development
$35,000 — Security & Encryption Architecture
$30,000 — Regulatory & Legal Consultation
$30,000 — Design, User Research & Testing
Total: $150,000 for a working prototype that demonstrates secure patient-owned records, the revenue share model, and population health analytics.
OUR STORY
This started with a simple question: why can't I see my own medical records?
I asked this after switching family doctors in Ontario. My complete health history — years of blood work, imaging, prescriptions, specialist referrals — was trapped inside an EMR system I had no access to. The transfer involved faxes, phone calls, and weeks of waiting. Some records never arrived.
I work in technology. I manage complex software platforms for a living. And I found it genuinely baffling that in 2026, I can check my bank balance from my phone, track every step I take, send money across the world in seconds — but I cannot see my own medical file.
The data exists. The technology exists. What doesn't exist is a platform that treats patients as the owners of their health data — not as passive sources of it.
Then two things clicked: the organizations that need this data would pay for access, and that revenue should flow to the patients who made it possible. When the Canadian government mandated health data interoperability, the timing became undeniable.
The government created the mandate. Med-Priva is building the infrastructure.
