Simplified processes with ShareMedix
ShareMedix uses artificial intelligence (AI), which automatically recognizes and anonymizes patient data. By using a comprehensively trained yet constantly learning algorithm, ShareMedix recognizes patient data very accurately and makes it unrecognizable. Medical documents such as hospital discharge reports, doctor’s letters and diagnostic reports are no longer manually but automatically anonymized. Thus, the standard of the TGF (Tyrolean Health Fund) can be maintained and the privacy of the patient is protected.
Challenges of implementation
Artificial intelligence had to be trained to make only selected patient data anonymous and to ignore certain important information so that it remains visible. Since these were medical documents, it was also important to train the algorithm accordingly for specific medical terms.
