Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionPatient data is special category personal data (GDPR, WGBO). Only use systems with NEN 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of consultations must not be stored unencrypted with external servers. AI-supported triage and diagnostics are supportive, the GP remains ultimately responsible and must verify all AI output. Systems classed as high risk under the EU AI Act (diagnostic decisions) require an audit trail and explainability.
No EU data residency; data goes to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. X/Grok uses public posts and conversations for training by default, with opt-out. Subject of GDPR investigation by the Irish DPC.
