OpenMed Puts Clinical AI on Your Device

🔥 What happened OpenMed shipped an Apache-2.0 SDK that de-identifies and structures clinical text locally on iPhone, Android, and in the browser — no cloud required. After model download, the core runtime runs fully offline, with PII detection across 35 languages. 💡 Why it matters On Apple Silicon, the MLX path is 24–33× faster than CPU PyTorch for the Privacy Filter. For AI engineers, that means HIPAA-adjacent pipelines without data egress are suddenly viable on hardware hospitals already own. ⚡ Our take Finally someone who actually ships “local-first” instead of just putting it on a slide. Caveat: the SDK doesn’t make you HIPAA-compliant — deployment validation is still on you.
