Aridhia offers a widely adopted, comprehensive, and secure data sharing platform trusted by research hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, and global consortia. Replica Analytics is a pioneer in advanced anonymization, harnessing machine learning to generate high-utility, privacy protective synthetic data that closely captures the properties and patterns of a real, source dataset. Together, they are providing a single, managed service where synthetic data generation and anonymization capabilities are fully integrated within a FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) environment, all running on a secure platform.
With this new next-generation solution, set-up of collaborative analytics environments internally or for cross-company and international consortia is simplified. Data custodians have more granular control over how their data is accessed, generated, analyzed, and shared, as well as confidence in the privacy and security of the data. With fewer barriers to collaborating, they can extract valuable insights faster, ultimately enhancing decision-making and research outcomes.
“We believe the power of our partnership is more than the sum of the two parts and that all stakeholders will benefit,” said David Sibbald, Aridhia’s CEO. “Data owners may trust how their data is being used and can participate in the approval process, while custodians have a secure place to prepare the synthetic data with governance, auditing, and airlocks built in. Data users will enjoy shared tools and a secure, collaborative workspace where they can bring their own data and tools, too. Everyone wins, including patients.”

Khaled El Emam, Replica’s SVP and GM, also expressed enthusiasm for the partnership’s significance in addressing data access problems in healthcare research. “Access to electronic health records is vital for research, but it is often hindered by privacy concerns,” he noted. “Our collaboration with Aridhia revolutionizes this landscape. With our combined solutions, researchers can now have an end-to-end platform to acquire, anonymize and synthesize, analyze, and share health data while upholding stringent standards for data privacy and security.”
Aridhia and Replica’s trusted research environment incorporates strong data access and sharing controls, detailed audit logs, and an array of analytics tools, all underpinned by robust privacy enhancing technologies. Users can perform complex analytics using powerful statistical and machine learning tools, as well as enjoy a comprehensive capability for dashboard and end-user dynamic visualizations from the synthetic and anonymized datasets. The solution also includes a cohort builder to select data subsets for future sharing and analysis. Researchers can select and build cohorts of interest from multiple datasets and synthesize those cohorts on demand, rapidly reducing time to gain scientific value. The combined platform recently demonstrated its effectiveness in a recent engagement and both companies are exploring other opportunities to offer this unique, single solution to clients.
