Open-Source Tools for Trusted Third Parties in Translational Medicine
Advanced Confidentiality Engine
ACE provides a robust solution for pseudonymization services and features high scalability and an integrated audit trail. Its architecture enables the creation of domain hierarchies with inheritable properties that provide both configuration and customization capabilities. Complemented by a modern REST interface and a responsive graphical front-end, ACE is well suited for use by trusted third party personnel as well as integration into data processing pipelines.
Key Index of Names and General Identification Numbers
KING offers advanced identity management features. It is highly scalable and highly configurable. Various record linkage methods are integrated to cover the needs of different use cases. A modern REST interface and responsive graphical front-end ensure efficient and user-friendly usage by trusted third party personnel and allow integration into data processing pipelines.
Holistic Electronic Agreement Recording Tool
HEART is a specialized tool for the electronic capture and management of consent documents. It is flexibly configurable, supports semantic annotation of consent documents, and is optimized for use on tablets and mobile devices. In addition, HEART provides detailed audit logs so that every consent change can be accurately tracked. The ability to create custom consent templates makes it optimally configurable for a wide range of use cases.
