    BHC is making research participant data available to ME/CFS and long COVID researchers around the world by establishing Global Unique Identifiers (GUIDs).

    "Each time you participate in research, you create a pearl of knowledge. GUIDs allow us to string pearls together, safely and securely, into one long strand that may help reveal the disease mechanisms of ME/CFS and long COVID."

    Read Dr. Vernon's blog about GUIDs and how participating in research advances the science for #MECFS and #LongCOVID.

    Sounds like they're hashing your personal info

    Can you explain what hashing means in this context?

    No need for that. GUIDs are just very large numbers or strings that can be assumed to be unique simply because they are so large that the same sequence is unlikely to come up more than once in the entire lifetime of the universe.

    Very common in information sciences.

    A hash is when you take a bunch of data (could be text, numbers, a large computer file) and you run it through an algorithm that "scrambles" it to create a random number. The number you get will totally change if the data changes even slightly. Which means you can't tell what the input to the hash was by just looking at it. You can thus compare the hashes of things to see if they're the same, without knowing the data that went into them. Wikipedia has a rather technical overview.
