Company caught up in I-Med privacy scare plots US land grab

The chief executive of healthcare technology firm Harrison.ai has moved to dismiss privacy concerns about his start-up, describing them as a misunderstanding as it plots an expansion into the lucrative US market.

“A picture of your face is very different to a chest X-ray and a diagnostic report that has been anonymised and de-identified. We have a really robust anonymisation and data-protection pipeline, where data is completely stripped of personal information, and gone through quite great lengths to ensure that it cannot be re-identified.

A patient’s medical scans are among the most sensitive data types. At the core of the issue is whether scans from I-MED were truly “de-identified” when they were used for training Harrison.ai’s models. Aengus Tran says they were. In October, Harrison.ai was awarded Medicare reimbursement by CMS, the US federal agency that administers the Medicare program. It means US hospitals will be paid up to $US240 a scan processed by Harrison.ai’s technology.

“The US is half of the global radiology market,” Dimitry Tran said. “Building on our customer momentum in the UK, Asia and Australia, we’re in a great position to bring our technology to the US and win the market.
