Patient health data are often found spread across various sources. However, precision medicine and personalized care require access to the complete medical records. The first step toward this is to enable the linkage of health records spread across different sites. Existing record linkage solutions assume that data are centralized with no privacy or security concerns restricting sharing. However, that is often untrue. Therefore, we have designed and implemented a portable method for privacy-preserving record linkage based on garbled circuits to accurately and securely match records. We have also developed a novel approximate-matching mechanism that significantly improves efficiency.
