Testing on MyDataCan™ 2.0 began,
with rollouts of additional kinds of data and increased number of users scheduled for the
coming months.

MyDataCan™ Architecture 2.0 done. This new architecture
covers the full vision of MyDataCan™ in
which personal information is doubly encrypted, so that even MyDataCan™
staff cannot know the contents of the information stored there.
Revealing the contents requires the MyDataCan™ password and a password
held by an owner of the can (usually the data subject), thereby providing
strong privacy protection. The new architecture
also updated the user interface, introduced new data models to
accommodate the broad spectrum of data supported, not just health data,
and incorporated API's for app development and data providers.

Over the last two years,
Dr. Latanya Sweeney,
the founder and
Director of the Data Privacy Lab, now a program in the
Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS)
at Harvard University,
has been working with faculty and
researchers across Harvard Schools (FAS, SEAS, Medical School, Law
School) and MIT to establish a publicly available service that would
operate as a living lab for research on consumer engagement and
empowerment over personal data. Research aims include developing and
studying notions of "personal access control" and "privacy-preserving
marketplaces" as mechanisms for data sharing, and assessing privacy
and privacy governance when data subjects directly participate in data
sharing arrangements.
