AMA, augmented intelligence and the physician's role

Innovation & Intelligence

Strategic intelligence for healthcare. From complexity to clarity.

For workflows with sensitive data, we apply minimization and de-identification before any processing by language models, under double data anonymization. We use AI providers via the OpenAI and Google Gemini APIs under enterprise terms, with ZDR (Zero Data Retention) and BAA (Business Associate Agreement) enabled for eligible endpoints.
