1. Overview

Welcome to AnalyseMyHealth - a privacy-first health analytics platform designed specifically for New Zealand families. We help you understand your health data through AI-powered analysis while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and privacy.

What We Offer:

  • Secure PDF processing of medical reports
  • AI-powered health parameter extraction
  • Personalized health insights and trend analysis
  • Multi-device access to your health data
  • Advanced privacy protection with automatic PII redaction

Our Commitment: We prioritize your privacy above all else. Your health data is protected with enterprise-grade security, automatic PII redaction, and strict data isolation. We never sell your data, share it with third parties for marketing, or use it for any purpose other than providing you with personalized health insights.

2. Data Collection & Storage

โœ… What We DO Store:

  • Your email address - For account authentication and communication
  • Health parameter values ONLY - Just the numbers and units, such as:
    • "Total Cholesterol: 5.2 mmol/L"
    • "Blood Pressure: 120/80 mmHg"
    • "HbA1c: 5.6%"
    • "Iron: 18 ยตmol/L"
  • Test dates - When each measurement was taken
  • Parameter names - The type of test (e.g., "Total Cholesterol", "Blood Glucose")
  • Optional notes - Context and medication notes you choose to add

โŒ What We DELETE/REDACT Immediately:

  • Your PDF files - Deleted from memory within seconds of processing
  • Your name - Replaced with [REDACTED]
  • Addresses - Home, work, clinic addresses all removed
  • Phone numbers - All phone numbers redacted
  • Bank details - Any financial information removed
  • Hospital/clinic names - All provider names redacted
  • Medical record numbers - Patient IDs, MRNs removed
  • NHI numbers - Your National Health Index number redacted
  • Doctor names - Healthcare provider names removed
  • Any other personal identifiers - Social security numbers, passport numbers, etc.
๐Ÿ”’ Privacy Protection Technology:

We use Microsoft Azure's Content Safety AI to automatically detect and redact 15+ categories of personally identifiable information (PII) before anything is saved to our database. Your PDF is processed in-memory only and is never stored on any hard drive or server.

3. How Our Platform Works

Here's the complete workflow when you upload a medical PDF:

Step 1: PDF Text Extraction

Technology: Azure AI Document Intelligence

What it does: Extracts text from your PDF with 95%+ accuracy using advanced OCR

Your data: The PDF stays in your browser's memory temporarily, never written to disk

Step 2: Automatic PII Redaction

Technology: Azure Content Safety (PII Detection)

What it does: Automatically identifies and removes your name, address, phone, NHI number, and other personal identifiers

Your data: All personal identifiers are replaced with [REDACTED] before any storage

Step 3: Health Parameter Extraction

Technology: OpenAI GPT-4o-mini (AI model)

What it does: Reads the redacted text and identifies health parameters like "Cholesterol: 5.2 mmol/L"

Important: OpenAI's AI processes the text anonymously - it never knows whose data it is. There's no link between you and the text it analyzes.

Step 4: Secure Storage

Technology: Azure Cosmos DB & Cloudflare Infrastructure

What it does: Saves only the health numbers (e.g., "Cholesterol: 5.2") linked to your account

Security: Bank-level encryption, strict user isolation (you can't see anyone else's data)

Step 5: PDF Deletion

What happens: Your original PDF is immediately purged from memory

Timeline: Within 10-30 seconds of upload, it's completely gone

Storage: We don't keep PDFs on any server or backup - they're processed and deleted

๐Ÿ” AI-Powered Analysis

When you ask questions like "How has my cholesterol changed?", we use:

  • Vector Search: Finds relevant health data from YOUR records only (Cloudflare Vectorize)
  • GPT-4o: Generates personalized answers based on your data
  • User Isolation: All queries are filtered by your user ID - you only see your own data
๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Privacy Guarantee: OpenAI processes text anonymously. There's no way for OpenAI (or anyone else) to connect the health data to you personally. Your email and account info never touch OpenAI's systems.
