Help biohackers, academics, and independent scientists do their own research!

Be a patron of a researcher of your choice

Support biohackers, independent scientists, little pharma, or big pharma if they work on something you care about! Not all research is done in lab coats or at universities. You can become a researcher as well! There is no such thing as stupid research!

Whether we support independent researchers and little pharma or not is up to all of us. The future is bio. Our actions define what bio it will be and who will control it. With CrowdWise, you can enable the future while maintaining your privacy.

What Is CrowdWise?

We get data in your name so you can decide who can access it in the Secure Data Environment (SDE).

CrowdWise is not a data broker. We do not sell your data, only you can do it. We are a Kickstarter. You support researchers of your choice! Accept research offers you find fair and which mission you agree with!

  • Choose researchers! Opt-in only to researchers whose mission you support and enable independent scientists and the little pharma revolution taking over academia and big pharma.
  • Donate or Sell Your Data Yourself! Share securely and stay in control. Your data is used only for the projects you approve, and you can withdraw it anytime. Data donation happens within a few clicks - we take care of the rest for you, such as extracting it from hospitals, 23andme, etc.
  • Gain something back! Researchers commit to giving something back for your help. It can be a priority in treatment for you or your family member if they find a cure, a health report, or lifelong revenue share. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ not available for US persons or companies

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell my data?

No, we will never sell your data. You sell it yourself! You can accept the terms of each specific research if you find those fair to sell your data and your participation. You can also donate to research you want to support. Think of us as Airbnb, Kickstarter or Facebook Marketplace. We are a marketplace where you can sell or donate your data yourself, maintaining full control.

Do I have to upload any data myself?

No, we will get your data once you authorize us with a Letter of Authorization and tell us where your data is being held. You may be required to provide specific data for specific research, but to make it less effort for you; we suggest doing required tests and then informing us which company or institution has this new data,

Researchers may ask you to fill out surveys via our system once every few months, but any data uploads we suggest to do by simply saying who holds your new data. Letter of Authorization allows us to extract it.

How secure is my data?

Crowdwise employs advanced security measures, including encryption and pseudonymisation, to protect your data. Only researchers you authorize can access your data in a secure environment. Read an article about pseudonymisation of your data here and an article on our Secure Data Environment (SDE).

Will researchers know my identity?

Your data is pseudonymized (read more), and researchers will not have access to your personal identifiers unless explicitly agreed. Each research contract informs you if specific research needs your identity data. In case of certain benefits promised by researchers, they will need to be informed at the end of the research how and to whom to provide promised benefits. We will try to be a middleman and hide those when possible.

Can I revoke my consent to share my data?

Yes, you can revoke your consent at any time. CrowdWise provides a user-friendly interface for managing your data-sharing preferences. However, withdrawing from research may result in the loss of accrued rights and benefits.
