We enable legal, secure, and reproducible access to medical data in regions where healthcare data exists — but is difficult to obtain.
We specialize in enabling lawful access to medical data in countries with fragmented healthcare systems, heterogeneous EMRs, and complex regulatory environments.
Our core expertise lies in building legal, technical, and institutional pipelines that allow medical data to be accessed, anonymized, standardized, and transferred — safely and compliantly.
Analytics is not our end product.
It is a necessary part of the data access process.
- Medical data exists, but is fragmented across clinics
- EMR systems are heterogeneous or non-standard
- Data governance frameworks are unclear or conservative
- Clinics are reluctant to share data due to legal risk
- Global data vendors cannot operate effectively
As a result, valuable healthcare data remains inaccessible.
Hekima bridges this gap.
WHAT WE DO
We enable client-requested access to medical datasets by taking responsibility for the full complexity of data acquisition.
This includes:
- Negotiation and engagement with healthcare providers
- Design of lawful data processing frameworks
- Development of anonymization and pseudonymization processes
- Documentation of irreversible anonymization
- Technical extraction from diverse EMR systems
- Data normalization and harmonization
- Mapping into international data models (e.g. OMOP)
The outcome:legally compliant, non-personal medical datasets ready for downstream use.
WHY ANALYTICS IS PART OF THE PROCESS
We use healthcare analytics as an enabling mechanism, not as a standalone product.
Analytics allows us to:
- Establish a lawful basis for data processing
- Provide immediate value to clinics (quality improvement)
- Justify depth and continuity of data access
- Support anonymization workflows
- Ensure regulatory compliance
We do not sell dashboards.
We enable data access.
WHAT WE DELIVER
Depending on client needs, we provide:
- Anonymized EMR datasets
- Longitudinal patient-level data (non-identifiable)
- Disease-specific cohorts
- Country-specific real-world datasets
- OMOP-compatible tables
- Structured RWD assets for research and development
All datasets are:
- Fully anonymized
- Non-re-identifiable
- Accompanied by legal and procedural documentation
WHO WE WORK WITH
Our clients include:
- Pharmaceutical companies
- CROs and RWE providers
- Global healthtech companies
- Research institutions and consortia
- International NGOs and donors
WHERE WE WORK
Emerging Market
- We operate in healthcare systems undergoing rapid growth but lacking data infrastructure.
Difficult Markets
- We work where data access is complex due to fragmentation, regulation, or institutional barriers.
Especially when data is required from:
- Africa
- South and Southeast Asia
- Latin America
WHY HEKIMA
Most companies either:
- Analyze data where it is already accessible
- Or purchase data from existing aggregators
Hekima does something different:
- We create access to medical data from scratch.
- We operate where infrastructure is weak, standards are fragmented, and regulatory risk is high — and make data usable.
This capability is rare, difficult to replicate, and highly context-specific.
OUR APPROACH
1. Healthcare providers remain data controllers
2. Anonymization is defined and executed at source
3. Clinics formally certify irreversibility of anonymization
4. Data becomes non-personal under applicable law
5. Data is extracted, structured, and standardized
6. Clients receive legally secure datasets
LONG-TERM VISION
Hekima is building data access infrastructure for healthcare in emerging and complex markets.
Our focus is not on selling software or analytics,
but on enabling responsible access to real-world medical data where it matters most.
