HealthcareLlama for healthcare
Meta's natively multimodal, open-weight Mixture-of-Experts family (Scout and Maverick), free to download and self-host.
Llama is strong in open weights, fully self-hostable and fine-tunable on your own data; that suits drafting consultation reports and documentation.

Llama has a concrete GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch businesses are therefore not licensed to install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in healthcare.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionMedical data is special category personal data. Only use solutions with appropriate safeguards (GDPR, EU hosting) and no training on patient data; a healthcare provider remains ultimately responsible.
Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.
