As a data scientist excited about the potential of psychedelic therapies, I like that you are helping bring rigor to the space. I imagine supplementing clinical data with feedback from daily in-app experience sampling could help validate or invalidate new therapies. Keen to follow along and possibly get involved in the future.

#42Out of curisoty, how have you implemented the security/hipaa compliance? > We care deeply about patient and clinician privacy as well. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant and protected by end-to-end encryption. We work with independent third parties to verify our compliance and security. Patients own their health data and have the right to all of it. Any analysis we do is always on anonymized and aggregated information a…
We've appointed a Chief Security Officer within our startup that oversees security and HIPAA compliance. We work with Vanta (W18) to ensure compliance (they have automation software and compliance dashboards) and have a third-party auditor as well. I am happy to have our engineering team to tell you more if you wanted to learn! Feel free to message lucia@osmind.org

#43I am personally interested in this domain and would like to share something I have been thinking about: If a platform could separate my personally identifiable bits from my measurement data stream and if I participate in sending anonymous track of my health - - at a large scale, there would be enough data to derive patterns and then insights (like you mention) - I could take the generated insights and apply them as o…
Thank you for this!! We so appreciate that you are aligned with the approach. We would love to find interesting ways to return the insights back directly to patients. For example, if you're taking XYZ medication, how do your responses compare to the national average? What other interesting correlations can we make to help you better understand your health? It may be a ways off, but definitely something we're thinking…
Yes, that would be really cool. A while back I was thinking about something similar, when I was working on a social network for cancer patients. What if we can connect people by symptoms, medicine they are taking or their side effects, the doctor or facility they are visiting. Connect people to help them get through whatever they are experiencing, but also collect anonymous data to see patterns and offer suggestions.
