Two separate questions, and a hospital asks the second one first. Left: which identifiers the engine can actually name and validate. Right: what is left on disk afterwards — with zero retention on, the prompt body is never written at all.

Where PHI is exposed

  1. 01

    HIPAA-Ready Controls

    Built-in controls to support HIPAA workflows. Automatic detection and redaction of Protected Health Information (PHI) before it reaches your LLM.

  2. 02

    PHI Detection & Redaction

    Identify 18+ HIPAA identifiers including names, dates, medical record numbers, and biometric data. Redact or tokenize automatically.

  3. 03

    Disclaimer Policies You Write

    An output policy can block or flag a reply that gives clinical direction without the qualification your counsel requires. You define the rule; PromptGuard judges the answer against it rather than editing the answer.

  4. 04

    Dangerous Advice Prevention

    Block AI from providing potentially harmful medical guidance. Detect and prevent dosage recommendations, diagnosis, and treatment plans.

  5. 05

    Clinical Workflow Integration

    Require physician approval for sensitive AI-assisted decisions. Integrate with EHR systems while maintaining security boundaries.

  6. 06

    Audit Trail for HIPAA

    Complete logging of all AI interactions with PHI. Export-ready reports for HIPAA audits and breach investigations.

Why PromptGuard for healthcare?

  • Purpose-built HIPAA controls
  • All 18 PHI identifiers detected
  • Medical-specific guardrails
  • Clinical workflow integration
  • Self-hosted or air-gapped: PHI never leaves your environment

How it works for healthcare

  1. 01

    Deploy

    Integrate PromptGuard with your healthcare AI applications. Works with patient portals, clinical assistants, and admin tools.

  2. 02

    Protect

    Enable HIPAA mode for automatic PHI detection. Configure medical guardrails and disclaimer requirements.

  3. 03

    Comply

    Generate compliance reports, maintain audit trails, and demonstrate HIPAA adherence to regulators.

Securing healthcare AI applications

python
from promptguard import PromptGuard

pg = PromptGuard(
    api_key="your-api-key",
    project_id="patient-portal"
)

# Configure healthcare-specific protections
pg.configure({
    "hipaa_mode": True,
    "phi_detection": {
        "enabled": True,
        "identifiers": "all",  # All 18 HIPAA identifiers
        "action": "redact"
    },
    "medical_guardrails": {
        "require_disclaimer": True,
        "block_diagnosis": True,
        "block_treatment_advice": True,
        "block_dosage_info": True,
        "require_physician_approval": ["prescription", "referral"]
    }
})

# Patient interactions are now protected
response = pg.guard(
    prompt=patient_question,
    context={"patient_id": patient.id, "encounter_type": "telehealth"}
)
