How is the data stored

The collection process creates 2 xml data files which are encrypted and saved as a .dat file to the data folder as dictated by your system preferences. One file is pure clinical data and has no identifiable patient information. This is called the DATA file. This file can be made available in its xml file form by using the 'De-identify Dataset' tool. The second file is the LINK file and contains all patient identifiable data. The LINK file is only used when you want to re-identify a list of patients that make up a segment of a graph. This file is never made available.
