AI Solutions for Healthcare

HIPAA-compliant AI systems that reduce administrative burden, improve patient outcomes, and lower operational costs. Built with compliance from day one, not as an afterthought.

AI Use Cases for Healthcare

Production AI applications that healthcare organizations are deploying in 2026.

📋

Clinical Documentation AI

AI-powered tools that transcribe patient encounters, generate structured clinical notes, and auto-populate EHR fields. Physicians spend an average of 2 hours per day on documentation. Our AI documentation tools reduce that by 30 to 50%, giving clinicians 1+ hours back for patient care daily. Supports SOAP note format, ICD-10 coding suggestions, and integration with major EHR systems (Epic, Cerner, Athenahealth).

📱

Patient Intake Automation

AI chatbots that handle patient intake before appointments: collecting medical history, current medications, allergies, insurance information, and reason for visit. Replaces paper forms and manual data entry. Reduces check-in time by 60 to 70% and improves data accuracy by eliminating transcription errors. Integrates with your EHR and scheduling system to pre-populate records.

💊

Drug Interaction Checking

AI systems that cross-reference prescribed medications against comprehensive drug interaction databases, patient allergy records, and genetic factors. Provides real-time alerts to prescribers with severity classification and alternative medication suggestions. Reduces adverse drug events and supports clinical decision-making at the point of care.

📅

Appointment Scheduling Chatbot

AI-powered scheduling that handles appointment booking, rescheduling, cancellations, and reminders via chat, SMS, or voice. Understands patient preferences, insurance requirements, and provider availability. Reduces scheduling staff workload by 40 to 50% and decreases no-show rates by 20 to 30% through intelligent reminder sequences.

🔍

Medical Knowledge Base Search

RAG-powered search over clinical guidelines, treatment protocols, formularies, and internal policies. Clinicians and staff ask questions in natural language and get cited answers from your organization's approved documentation. Ensures staff follow the latest protocols and reduces time spent searching for clinical information by 60 to 80%.

📊

Patient Communication and Follow-Up

AI systems that automate post-visit communications: discharge instructions, medication reminders, follow-up scheduling, and symptom monitoring. Personalized to each patient's condition and treatment plan. Improves medication adherence by 25 to 35% and reduces 30-day readmission rates by catching warning signs early through automated check-ins.

HIPAA Compliance and Security

Compliance is built into every layer of our healthcare AI solutions.

Data Encryption

All Protected Health Information (PHI) is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Encryption keys are managed through AWS KMS or Azure Key Vault with automatic rotation. Database-level encryption ensures PHI is protected even at the storage layer.

Audit Logging

Every interaction with the AI system is logged with timestamps, user identity, action performed, and data accessed. Logs are immutable, stored for the required retention period (minimum 6 years for HIPAA), and available for compliance audits. We use structured logging with automated alerting for anomalous access patterns.

Access Controls

Role-based access control (RBAC) ensures that only authorized personnel can access PHI. Integration with your existing identity provider (Active Directory, Okta, Azure AD) for single sign-on. Multi-factor authentication required for all administrative access. Minimum necessary access principle applied to all system roles.

Business Associate Agreements

We execute BAAs before any engagement involving PHI. All third-party services used in our healthcare solutions (cloud hosting, AI model providers, databases) have BAAs in place. We maintain a vendor compliance matrix and regularly verify BAA status for all components in the technology stack.

PHI Minimization

We apply the minimum necessary standard to all AI system designs. Where possible, we use de-identified data for model processing. AI prompts are engineered to avoid including unnecessary PHI. Data retention policies automatically purge PHI that is no longer needed for the active use case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AI chatbots be HIPAA compliant?
Yes, AI chatbots can be built with full HIPAA compliance. This requires encrypted data storage (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit), audit logging of all interactions, role-based access controls, a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with all third-party providers, and use of HIPAA-eligible AI APIs or self-hosted models. Salt Technologies AI builds HIPAA-compliant AI systems with these controls from day one.
How much does healthcare AI development cost?
Healthcare AI development typically costs 10 to 30% more than standard AI projects due to compliance requirements. An AI Readiness Audit starts at $3,000. A HIPAA-compliant chatbot ranges from $15,000 to $40,000. Clinical documentation AI and multi-system integrations range from $25,000 to $75,000. Ongoing compliance monitoring and maintenance adds $2,000 to $5,000/month.
Does Salt Technologies AI sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA)?
Yes. For all healthcare projects involving Protected Health Information (PHI), we execute a Business Associate Agreement before any data access. We also ensure all third-party services used in the system (cloud hosting, AI APIs, databases) have BAAs in place. Our engineering practices include PHI minimization, de-identification where possible, and strict access controls.
Can AI help with clinical documentation?
Yes. AI-powered clinical documentation tools can transcribe patient encounters, generate structured clinical notes from conversations, auto-populate forms with relevant patient history, and flag missing information. Healthcare organizations using AI documentation tools report 30 to 50% reduction in documentation time, allowing clinicians to spend more time with patients.
What AI models do you use for healthcare applications?
We select models based on compliance requirements and use case needs. For HIPAA-compliant applications, we use models available through BAA-covered APIs (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) or self-hosted open-source models (Llama, Mistral) deployed on HIPAA-eligible infrastructure. We never send PHI to non-compliant AI endpoints.
