How you earn with CureCollab
Your health data is valuable. We make sure you get paid for it — clearly, fairly, and in U.S. dollars. Here's exactly how it works.
1. Two ways you get paid
Your share of platform revenue (Recurring)
If your synced health data matches any of our top 100 tracked research areas, you earn a recurring cut of CureCollab's revenue. The more conditions that match — and the stronger your clinical evidence — the bigger your share.
Your research payout (Per study)
When a pharma, biotech, or AI team licenses a dataset that includes your profile for a specific study, you get a direct payment. This is where the biggest earnings come from.
2. What makes your data more valuable
Not all health records are worth the same. The more clinical detail in yours, the more researchers will pay for it — and the more you earn.
- Good: Diagnosis codes + medications — the starting point from your connected health system.
- Better: Lab results that confirm your condition — A1c, lipid panels, thyroid labs.
- Best: Imaging or pathology — MRI, CT scans, biopsy or cytology reports — the gold standard of clinical evidence.
3. How the money splits
When a research team pays to license data, the revenue gets divided into three clear pieces:
- 50% — Half goes to study participants, split directly among members whose data was included.
- 20% — A fifth goes to all qualifying members as a recurring Community Dividend.
- 30% — The rest keeps CureCollab running: security, infrastructure, compliance.
Combined, 70% of all licensing revenue goes directly to CureCollab contributors.
4. When and how you get paid
CureCollab pays in U.S. dollars. Community Dividends are distributed on a recurring schedule. Cohort Payouts are made after a study is licensed and funded.
5. How to maximize your earnings
- Stay connected: Keep your MyChart synced. Every new lab or diagnosis adds value.
- Climb the Evidence Ladder: Richer records mean higher scores and better payouts.
- Join early: Early contributors shape cohorts and may unlock the highest credit value.
