healthpass1™, which helps make it simple to keep all your health and wellness information in one private, easy-to-manage place, has selected Autonomys Network’s Auto Drive as a secure, decentralized storage foundation underlying its platform. Auto Drive's client-side encryption architecture ensures that data is encrypted on the user's device before it ever touches the network, meaning no storage operator, no network participant, and no third party, including healthpass1, has access to unencrypted file content. Encryption keys are generated and held exclusively by the user, making the data's permanence and privacy inseparable. Auto Drive is purpose-built by the Autonomys Network to ensure that stored data persists without dependence on any single company's continued operation; however if a user deletes their encryption key, that data becomes cryptographically unrecoverable by anyone, including Autonomys and healthpass1.
WHAT HEALTHPASS1™ HAS BUILT
A secure and private digital health passport
Most people's health information is scattered across dozens of disconnected systems. The primary care physician holds one record. The specialist holds another. Each pharmacy, fitness app, and hospital holds pieces of a picture that, in general, no single provider, and no patient, sees in full. Each of those systems also stores highly sensitive personal data on servers controlled by companies whose security practices and data policies individuals have no ability to audit or influence. In a routine appointment, this fragmentation creates friction. In an emergency, it creates risk. And across a lifetime of care, it means that the people making healthcare recommendations may not have the complete information they need to make the best decisions. healthpass1 changes this. The healthpass1 app helps make it simple for users to consolidate their health and wellness information into a single, private, encrypted digital passport that lives on their phone and travels with them everywhere.
The healthpass1 app is patent pending and will enable individuals to connect to healthcare portals and integrate with fitness apps and wellness platforms. It will accept manual uploads of photos, PDFs, and lab results. If enabled, it can also deliver AI-powered insights and organizational tools. Most importantly, the healthpass1 app will give individuals granular, consent-based sharing controls, so users decide exactly which providers, family members, or emergency personnel can see which information, and for how long. Throughout all of it, the data is designed to remain encrypted and private. Sharing is always an explicit act of consent, never a default.
"The healthpass1 app helps make it simple for individuals to keep their health and wellness information in one private, easy-to-manage place where they control what is shared, with whom and for how long. I’m excited to bring healthpass1 to market with an outstanding team of co-founders who have the depth and breadth of experience that highly regulated industries require."

THE INFRASTRUCTURE
Why Auto Drive. Why It Matters.
A health record is only as reliable as the system storing it. Files held on conventional cloud servers can be deleted, altered, or made inaccessible through corporate policy changes, company failure, or acquisition. They can also be accessed, subpoenaed, or exposed through the security failures of the companies that control them. For medical records, none of these scenarios are acceptable.
Auto Drive is built differently. Before a file ever touches the network, it is encrypted on the user's own device using AES-256-GCM, the same encryption standard used by governments and financial institutions to protect their most sensitive data. The encrypted file is then written permanently into the archival record of the Autonomys Network and replicated across a global mesh of independent storage operators. No single entity controls the network. There is no central server to take offline, no single company to compel, and no designed pathway through which a stored record can be changed or removed. Critically, no storage operator or network participant ever handles anything other than encrypted data. Without the user's password, the stored content is designed to be cryptographically inaccessible to everyone. Permanence is not a promise or a policy. Neither is privacy. Both are structural properties of how the storage is designed to work.
For healthpass1, this means the health information its users store is designed to be private and secure from the moment it is written. For individuals, it means their health history belongs to them in a way that a conventional cloud application may not deliver. Not because of a privacy policy; but because of the inherent architecture.
Auto Drive is developed and operated by the Autonomys Network, a Layer-1 infrastructure platform whose storage network currently has approximately 400 independent operators globally pledging more than 50 petabytes of storage capacity. The product offers a developer experience comparable to familiar cloud storage tools, with a TypeScript and JavaScript SDK and a RESTful API, making integration straightforward for any engineering team.
"Health data is among the most personal information a person generates in their lifetime. Auto Drive is designed to give healthpass1 users confidence that their records exist privately, securely, and permanently, on infrastructure no single company controls, and remain accessible to the user from anywhere in the world."
— Todd Ruoff, CEO Autonomys Network
