Zusammenfassung:Methods, systems, and computer program products for health data management. A user obtains a biomaterial collection kit that provides a unique identifier that is matched to a biomaterial specimen container. The identity of any user is not associated with any unit of the biomaterial kit. The user retains their unique identifier and mails their biomaterial (e.g., hair, saliva, etc.) anonymously to a lab. The lab analyzes the biomaterial sample to produce anonymous analysis results. The lab broadly publishes the anonymous analysis results to a publicly-accessible network location (e.g., the Internet). At will, users access the publicly-accessible repository to initiate compute operations on the published entries. If a particular user's identifier matches a published entry (e.g., if the entry can be decrypted using that particular user's unique identifier), then that user can gain access to that published entry while being unable to match to or decrypt any other user's published entries.
