The checklist
- Consent captured, recorded and revocable.
- Encryption in transit and at rest; managed keys.
- Role-based access: reception, nurse, doctor, admin, patient.
- Audit logs of every access and edit.
- Secure sharing of reports (expiring links, authentication).
- Data minimisation: collect only what you need.
- Backups, tested restores and a breach-response plan.
- Data residency that fits your law and contracts.
- Retention and deletion schedule.
- Vendor agreements with any processor (cloud, SMS, WhatsApp providers).
Monitoring data: what to watch
- Define thresholds with a clinician, not a developer.
- Alerts must be actionable and route to a named person.
- Make clear to patients that the system is not an emergency service.
AI in health admin
Use AI for scheduling, reminders and summarising non-identifiable text first. Do not send identifiable health data to an AI provider without a reviewed legal basis and data-processing terms. See our LLM integration guide.
Our solution
See the health monitoring and report management platform and our guide for clinics and wellness businesses.
Example workflow with privacy built in
- Reception registers the patient and records consent for storing reports and sending reminders.
- The lab uploads a report; the system tags it to the patient and notifies the treating doctor.
- The doctor views it; the access is logged with user and time.
- The patient receives an expiring, authenticated link to download the report.
- After the retention period, the record is archived or deleted according to policy.
Vendor due-diligence questions
- Where is data hosted and can we choose the region?
- Is data encrypted at rest with managed keys?
- Who at the vendor can access production data?
- Is there a data-processing agreement?
- How are breaches reported and within what time?
