Founded in June 2025, the Health Data Safe Foundation is a Swiss-based non-profit organisation with a bold mission: to empower people to securely collect, manage, control, and share their health data—on their own terms. Our vision is to create a trusted digital environment where human dignity, medical secret, data sovereignty, and benefits to society converge. HDS is creating a model for medical research in which health data is valued as a common good.
At the heart of our initiative is a cutting-edge platform that enables users to harness their health data, to improve their own well-being, while also contributing—through transparent opt-in and opt-out participation—to ethically governed medical research. We believe the apex of privacy-by-design and solidarity-in-mission is where value lies, and where we can unlock transformative progress in digital healthcare and ensure the responsible use of AI.
Our initial focus is on women’s health, where data gaps have long hindered innovation. By collaborating with stakeholders across the FemTech ecosystem, we aim to build the most comprehensive, high-quality, and ethically sourced databases on the feminine cycle ever assembled—fully compliant with both international and local data protection standards.
This is just the beginning. Guided by a Hippocratic vision of medicine, we are committed to supporting researchers, clinicians, and innovators, with digital tools that accelerate fundamental research and clinical development. By improving access to and reducing the cost of clinical trials, we aim to majorly contribute to closing the Women’s Health Gap.
Looking ahead, we will expand into new therapeutic areas, while continuing to engage with the needs of our founding partners and the communities they serve.
Our long-term ambition is to deliver such exceptional value to our partners that we can attract sustainable funding and reinvest it directly into medical research. Through strategic grants and collaborations, the Health Data Safe Foundation will become a vital ally to patients, healthcare professionals, clinics, pharmacists, regulatory bodies, and policymakers—driving forward a more inclusive, data-driven, equitable, and intelligent future in healthcare.
