With your permission, we work with your child's care providers to collect anything related to their health history: imaging files, test results, and doctor’s notes in both digital and paper format. Your child's doctors are provided with our highly secure private portal to transfer the information to us.
We extract only the information that is valuable for researchers and replace anything identifiable with a randomized ID number through our proprietary, multi-step, de-identification technology. Your child's data is then assigned a unique code, or de-identified, and then compiled with many others into a comprehensive data report, and shared with BioMarin researchers through a secure, private portal.
Your child's de-identified health data will be shared with VISTA study researchers. We will only use their collected health data in accordance with the consent provided in relation to the VISTA study. See our terms and conditions.
VISTA is an observational research study being conducted by BioMarin in partnership with PicnicHealth. VISTA will investigate the experience of living with and caring for a child with achondroplasia. As part of the study, PicnicHealth will collect and organize your child’s medical records and de-identify them to remove your child’s name and any other identifying information. Your records will then be assigned a unique code for inclusion in the VISTA study. Additionally, at sign-up and every 6 months afterwards, both you and your child will be asked to complete surveys on your experiences of living with achondroplasia. You will be compensated for completing these.
