Hospitals & clinics
Less documentation, more time for patients. Without patient data at the AI provider.
Health data enjoys the highest protection status under Art. 9 GDPR. Findings, diagnoses, medication plans and treatment histories are special categories of personal data. A breach means more than a fine: it destroys the trust between doctor and patient. At the same time, AI-assisted systems promise major progress in documentation and treatment planning.
The challenge
Why AI has hardly been permitted here so far.
Relevant regulations
- Art. 9 GDPR
- § 203 StGB
- State hospital laws
- 01Under Art. 9 GDPR, processing health data is prohibited in principle, except under strict conditions.
- 02State hospital laws tighten the requirements further.
- 03Hospital information systems contain complete patient records.
- 04Medical confidentiality under § 203 StGB makes disclosure to third parties a criminal offence.
Anonix in practice
What the AI provider actually sees.
The example uses fictitious demonstration data. The placeholders show which information Anonix detects and replaces.

Nothing changes for your staff.
Your software calls the AI as usual. Anonix sits in between, replaces the personal data and puts it back into the response. Integration consists of two changed lines: API address and API key. This works with OpenAI®, Claude® and Gemini® as well as with self-hosted models.

In a short conversation we show you how Anonix fits your organisation: which providers, which data, which rules. No obligation.
