  • Patent number: 11232404
    Abstract: A system and method for providing an individual with information on the transaction of other members of that individual's social network while preserving individual anonymity. The method including de-identifying or encrypting individually identifiable relationship data, de-identifying or encrypting individually identifiable transaction data, and linking the de-identified relationship data and the de-identified transaction data. The disclosed system uses the same hash function or encryption algorithm to de-identify or encrypt both the relationship data and the transaction data, enabling the system to identify and link records associated with the same user in both data sets by making a deterministic or probabilistic determination.

  • Patent number: 10152761
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for facilitating transactions for health-related computing products (e.g., mobile health applications or health-related devices). One method includes storing a plurality of lists, each list including health-related computing products approved for compensation by a payer entity. A claim for a health-related computing product is received from a user. The list with which the user is associated is determined. A determination is made whether the health-related computing product included in the claim is listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated. When the health-related computing product is determined to be listed in the list with which the user is determined to be associated, compensation by the payer is authorized.
