Project Overview

Organization: Abundant Science

Project Focus: Secure Platform Development & Healthcare Data Protection

Timeline: June 19 - August 14, 2025 (39 hours)

Industry: Healthcare Technology / Privacy-Preserving Systems

Current Stage: Concept to MVP Development

The Opportunity

SecureHealth exists today as a compelling concept and a revolutionary idea—but we need your help to transform it into a fully functional platform. We're building the world's first healthcare data system that guarantees absolute patient privacy while enabling unrestricted medical research through our novel "Triple-Ratchet" encryption protocol.

What we have: A clear vision, initial design concepts, and a static website showcasing the potential

What we need: A team to help us build the actual platform with security-first architecture from day one

Project Mission: From Concept to Platform

This isn't just a security analysis project—it's an opportunity to co-build a revolutionary healthcare technology platform from the ground up. You'll help transform SecureHealth from drawings and concepts into a working system that could reshape how medical data is shared globally.

Current State & Challenge

Where we are:

• Conceptual design for Triple-Ratchet encryption system
• Static marketing website (SecureHealth.tech)
• Technical specifications for privacy-preserving healthcare data flows
• Regulatory compliance research for PIPEDA, HIPAA, and GDPR

Where we want to be:

• Functional minimum viable platform (MVP) with core encryption capabilities
• Working patient data control interface
• Secure API for healthcare provider integration
• Anonymous research data access portal
• Comprehensive security testing and validation

The Challenge: Building a platform that handles the world's most sensitive data requires security expertise embedded in every architectural decision from day one—not bolted on afterward.

Technical Stack & Learning Opportunities

Technologies You'll Work With:

• Cryptography: Signal Protocol, Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Homomorphic Encryption
• Backend: Secure API development, Database encryption, Key management
• Frontend: Privacy-focused user interface design, Secure authentication flows
