What Is CrowdWise?

Help research you choose without giving up control over your data

CrowdWise is not data broker. We do not sell your data. We are kickstarter. You support researchers of your choice! Accept research offers you find fair!

  • Choose reasearchers! Opt-in only to researchers which mission you support! Participate in research which is transparent and open! Enable little pharma revolution taking over big pharma!
  • Gain something back! Researchers commit to give something back for helping them in research! It can be priority in treatment for you or your family member if they find a cure, it can be health report, or lifelong revenue share. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ not available for US persons or companies

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

You consent to participate in a research project. CrowdWise is becoming your representative agent once you sign Letter of Authorization. We extract your data from hospitals, genomic companies etc. We remove your name from it, and provide researcher remote virtual machines in private network behind VPN which are heavily monitored for any suspicious activity. This follows current best industry standard used in the biggest government BioBanks such as The UK BioBank or NHS Secure Data Environment.

Once researcher finishes their study they are legally required to honor promises and commitments they made to you in their public offering of research participation. This can be in form of revenue share πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ not available for US persons or companies , health reports, priority in treatment or whatever was listed on research page when you joined.

Does CrowdWise sells my data like others companies?

No, we will never sell your data. We are a marketplace where you can sell or donate your data yourself. Think of us as Airbnb, Kickstarter or Facebook Marketplace. You accept terms for commercial research yourself if you find them fair. You also choose which not profit research you want to support, and which you do not want to.

Is my data secure?

Researcher has access to data, but does not have data downloand option. Researchers are forced to run all their research on our remote machines. Those servers are highly monitored for any activity which may suggest tries of downloading data. Any such activity can cause automatic researcher account freeze or pernament removal from the platform.

Your personal information such as name is removed from the data. Read more about data security, anonymization and pseudoanonization here: link

How does CrowdWise make money if you don't sell my data?

We believe selling data left and right is not only immoral, but is actually much harder to build a long-term business. Because we do not allow data transfer to researchers in most cases they have to run research in our cloud, and we charge them for each server by an hour. We also plan to provide an ecosystem of services making computational resarch as well as volonteer studies easier and more affordable. We also will get a cut from revenue share model, we make money when you make money.

TL;DR selling data may bring cash in short term, but there is much more money to made in other ways if you are playing long game slowly proving to participants you can be trusted.

Let's make science fair and honest again!

CrowdWise, services are for research, and educational use only. We do not provide medical advice. All researchers also obliged they will not provide medical advice and use CrowdWise for research only.
