The Challenge: Sufficiently Address Consumer Skepticism

For consumers looking into health tracking, they’re instantly faced with a difficult question: How much can I trust this company to keep my personal data private and secure? The potential risks associated with blind trust around this type of data are worrisome:

Breaches or sharing of data with unknown third parties

Data sharing policies changing over time

Health data being used to determine insurance rates

The vision was clear

Give users full ownership and control over their health data generated by NOWATCH products.

The mintBlue Solution:

True Ownership of Personal Health Data

Our approach leverages cutting-edge distributed ledger technologies to create private, secure, and unalterable records of health data. Our implementation foregrounds:

Privacy

Data is only accessible to the user, no one else (not even NOWATCH or mintBlue!).

Access Controls

Because users truly own their data, they decide what data to share, if any, and with whom.

Security

Military-grade encryption ensures that user data is effectively uncrackable.

Trust

Logged user data is unalterable, and thus reliable for decades to come.

mintBlue’s data backbone and NOWATCH’s simple and always-free app are the perfect pairing for complete ownership and management of personal health data.  

We don’t just believe in it — we actually use the products ourselves!

A Gold Standard for Business Integrity

“We want to reset your relationship with technology so that it works for you subtly, securely and with complete privacy. Data collected from the sensors are sent to your phone, where it’s permanently stored. We cannot access your data unless you agree to share it.”
