How Can We Help?
Theta Lake's Compliance Solutions
The HIPAA security rule requires that any covered entity holding electronic protected health information (“ePHI”) must protect its security, confidentiality, and availability. Given the rise in the use of telehealth applications to facilitate remote care, covered entities are undertaking significant efforts to secure ePHI.
Theta Lake’s AI-enabled detections allow covered entities to find ePHI like Social Security Numbers, birthdates, policy numbers, and email addresses in what was shown, shared or said during collaboration interactions. Once identified, Theta Lake can redact ePHI in video, audio, and text to ensure that they do not proliferate during review and oversight processes.
Finally, Theta Lake facilitates comprehensive search across collaboration data to identify ePHI in any collaboration conversation, including content shown through web cams, in whiteboarding sessions, or displayed in screen shares.
