Free REB Wizard (Canada)

New software dramatically reduces time for research proposal approval

The new REB Wizard online software tool allows Canadian Research Ethics Boards (REBs) at research hospitals and medical universities to assess and manage the risks that come with handling personal health information (PHI) while maximizing the benefits of data sharing. Privacy Analytics has made the REB Wizard freely available to Canadian healthcare researchers and REBs, as well as oversight bodies entrusted with reviewing investigative proposals and tracking research projects to ensure compliance with best ethical practices.

EHIL/Privacy Analytics Partnership

The REB Wizard initiative is the result of a partnership between the Dr. Khaled El Emam led multi-disciplinary Electronic Health Information Laboratory (EHIL) team (internationally recognized for research on risk assessment methods for handling health data) and Privacy Analytics. The Wizards are an offshoot of the Privacy Analytics Risk Assessment Tool (PARAT), the only commercially available de-identification tool on the market. Custodians of personally identifiable information use PARAT to maximize the utility and granularity of research data while defending against re-identification attacks and avoiding costly privacy breaches.
