Inkguard

Removes patient identifiers from clinical documents on your own computer, and shows its work.

Inkguard is free, open-source software for doctors and research teams. It is built to keep the clinical detail a study needs while it removes what identifies a patient, and to record what it did so a person can check it.

• Runs on your own computer; its own code makes no network connections.
• Holds back what it is unsure about, for a person to decide.
• In its review workflow, two independent reviewers and the responsible clinician sign off before files are released.
• An evidence report travels with every batch.

Inkguard is an automated tool. It can make mistakes, including misreading context. A person must check every output before it is used.

The source code, measured results and documentation will be published here with the first public preview. It is not yet validated on real clinical records. It is not legal advice, not a HIPAA certification and not a medical device.
