What is Hanah?
Hanah is the connective infrastructure for women's health — the layer between digital health products, hospitals, researchers and industry. It carries the collaboration between them, and it never owns the data that moves through it.
What does Hanah do?
Hanah brings the infrastructure for clinical and research collaboration into one connection: consent management, data preparation and mapping, privacy and anonymisation, governance and permissions, analysis where the data is stored, and secure exchange with an audit trail behind every transfer.
Why the Hanah Layer?
Women's health data is a special category under the GDPR, and Article 32 requires security measures that take the state of the art and the risk into account. Hanah Layer provides that infrastructure once, so a product can collaborate with hospitals, researchers and other platforms without building a new compliant pathway for every partner.
Who is Hanah for?
Women's health apps, wearables and devices, hospitals and researchers, and pharma and trial sponsors. And for the people whose data it is: they decide per data point and per study what may contribute, and can withdraw at any time.
Who owns the data?
Hanah never owns the data. We are the infrastructure layer that makes secure, consent-driven sharing possible between the parties that do.
Does our data have to leave our own infrastructure?
Not necessarily. Analysis can run where the data is already stored, inside your own or your partner's environment, so raw records do not have to move. When something does move, it is only the data or outputs a request has been approved for, encrypted and logged.
How does Hanah protect privacy?
Privacy by design: explicit and revocable consent, pseudonymisation and small-group suppression so directly identifying data stays out of what is shared, governance rules applied to every request, and an audit trail behind every exchange. Data is never resold.
What happens when someone withdraws consent?
Their data stops being shared. Consent is checked per data point and per study, and it is enforced on every request rather than at sign-up only.
What format is the shared data in?
We map product data to clinical standards — FHIR, LOINC and SNOMED CT — including female-specific data points those standards do not yet cover, and make it FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable), so partners and researchers receive consistent, well-described datasets they can actually use.
How long does it take to connect?
Usually a matter of weeks rather than months. The work depends on what your product already collects and how cleanly it maps to clinical standards, so we scope it with you before anything is built.
Can we join the research?
Yes. One study is under way and further research areas are opening with the products and clinical partners who want to shape them. Apps, wearables, clinical partners, trial sponsors and individuals can all register their interest.
