Healthcare Research solution

Medical AI with sealed PHI.

Confidential compute lets care teams use AI assistants, imaging models, and research workflows while protected health information stays sealed and every clinical run can carry evidence.

01

PHI cannot leave the boundary

Clinical notes, medical images, lab results, and patient histories are useful to AI only if the provider and host cannot read them.

02

HIPAA needs evidence

Healthcare buyers need more than a vendor policy. They need proof of runtime isolation, no-log behavior, and audit-ready access paths.

03

Hospitals need collaboration

Research networks need shared model outputs without pooling raw PHI into a new central blast radius.

solution mockup

A doctor can ask AI without turning the AI provider into a PHI holder.

First, the clinical chat runs through private inference with a no-log build. Then the research workflow moves compute to each hospital dataset instead of moving PHI to a central operator.

Clinical Compute-to-Data

PHI stays at source · clinical AI travels · every key release is gated by attestation

Step 1 / 5

Sealing at Source

Each owner runs a local sealing CLI: HKDF(kms_root_pubkey, analysis_app_id, analysis_compose_hash, owner_id). Encrypts the dataset, publishes ciphertext. Owners never ship plaintext or keys. Change the recipe → key no longer matches.

With dstack: Stolen ciphertext is useless. The wrap key only re-derives inside an attested CVM whose compose-hash matches.

use cases from the report

Where healthcare needs confidential compute.

01

Doctor-facing clinical assistant

Let clinicians query notes, imaging summaries, and care context while prompts and responses stay inside a no-log clinical runtime.

02

Radiology AI in GPU TEE

Run imaging analysis on protected GPU capacity with attestable model execution and sealed PHI handling.

03

Multi-hospital cohort analysis

Analyze shared cohorts across hospitals without each owner exposing raw records to a central operator.
