The Privacy Layer for Pharmaceutical & Contract Research Organizations

De-identify clinical data to meet HIPAA Expert Determination & GDPR standards.

Private AI is used by several leading pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations

Comply with HIPAA & the GDPR

Data minimization is a key requirement of multiple standards and regulations, including HIPAA Safe Harbor and HIPAA Expert Determination requirements, and Article 5.1 of the GDPR states that “Personal data shall be: adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed (‘data minimisation’). 

Satisfying the requirements of these regulations requires highly accurate and efficient PII detection across terabytes, if not petabytes, of structured data with free text fields, which include doctor’s notes, clinical trials data, patient charts, DICOM images, and other medical information used for research, is particularly complex to handle: OCR errors, multilingual and multinational information, ASR transcription errors, conversational disfluencies, and a multitude of unexpected document formats all have to be addressed.

Unlock Data For Your Data Science Teams & Get Your Generative AI POCs Into Production

Generative AI has the potential to transform the pharmaceutical and clinical trials industries, but data privacy is a key concern when using these systems, even preventing organizations from adopting technologies which would save them countless hours during the clinical trial process where the clock is ticking. 

Private AI has been a leading data de-identification provider to the conversational AI industry for several years. It is specially optimized for chatbots and conversational data across 53 languages.

Private AI also increases the effectiveness and speed of data science and AI projects by quickly unlocking access to internal data sources as a PII firewall for any data going into data science teams. Examples of such data are claim forms, where PII includes names, addresses, and contact details.

Automatically De-Identify Data Accurate Enough To Meet HIPAA Expert Determination Requirements

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy Rule sets a national standard in the US for the protection of individuals’ medical records and other protected health information (PHI). The HIPAA Privacy Rule allows for health information to be de-identified using two methods: the Safe Harbor method, which requires the removal of certain specified identifiers, and the Expert Determination method, where a qualified expert applies statistical or scientific principles to determine whether the risk is “very low” that the information could be used, alone or in combination with other reasonably available information, by an anticipated recipient to identify an individual.


Private AI can help organizations with both HIPAA Safe Harbor and HIPAA Expert Determination requirements.
