European Patient Identity Services

About EUPID

EUPID has been designed to facilitate secondary use of datasets in biomedical research and healthcare by addressing the following major requirements:

No universal patient ID
Distinct pseudonyms for different registration contexts
Privacy-preserving record linkage algorithm
Re-identification by a trusted third party (optional)
Protected link between the different pseudonyms
Merged datasets for secondary use
Deployment: Central, Cloud, Local, On-premise
