📊 By 2025, over $70 billion worth of healthcare data will be traded annually — yet fewer than 6% of startups actually monetize their own data.
Hospitals, healthtech startups, and AI firms are generating oceans of valuable data — patient outcomes, imaging, genomics, claims, wearables — but most of it sits idle behind compliance fears, legacy systems, and confusion about who owns what.
Meanwhile, a fast-growing group of data marketplaces, compliance engines, and evidence networks are quietly turning that same “unused” data into recurring revenue.
This isn’t a future forecast — it’s already happening across the U.S. and Europe.
Below is a breakdown of the 6-layer Health Data Commercialization Stack, showing where the money flows, who controls it, and how founders, hospitals, and innovators can finally plug in.
1️⃣ Patient Data Wallets — Turning Ownership into Opportunity
For decades, patients have been the source of healthcare data — but never the owners.
That’s changing fast.
Platforms like Citizen Health, Seqster, and Savvy Cooperative are pioneering a new model: users can now collect their electronic health records, genomics, and wearable metrics into secure “data vaults.” These platforms let individuals choose who can access their data and even earn compensation when they share it for research, clinical trials, or drug development.
Platforms giving individuals control, portability, and monetization of their medical data.
| Company | Description |
|---|---|
| Citizen Health (US) | Patient-owned data vaults that let users control and monetize their medical records. |
| Seqster (US) | Unified “health passport” aggregating EMR, genomics, and wearable data under patient control. |
| Savvy Cooperative (US) | Patient-owned cooperative that compensates members for sharing lived-experience data. |
| Medchart (US) | Enables consumer-authorized release of medical records for research and legal use. |
| HealthVerity Consent (US) | Manages patient-level consent tracking and authorization across multiple datasets. |
