    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides local-first clinical named entity recognition and HIPAA-compliant PII de-identification running 100% on-device without cloud dependency.
    • Ensures patient data privacy by processing sensitive healthcare text entirely offline with over 1,000 specialized medical models in 15 languages.
    • Use for building secure iOS or macOS healthcare apps that extract clinical insights and redact PII locally using Apple Silicon acceleration.
    • Use for deploying HIPAA-compliant REST APIs or batch pipelines for clinical text analysis and anonymization on-premise without vendor lock-in.
    • Ideal for integrating multilingual PII detection and de-identification in browser-based healthcare tools via Transformers.js and WebGPU.

    From the README

    Turn clinical text into structured insight with one line of code.

    Entity extraction, PII de-identification, and 1,000+ specialized medical models that run entirely on your own hardware — from a one-liner in Python to native Swift apps, REST services, and browser token classification through Transformers.js/WebGPU. No cloud. No vendor lock-in. No patient data leaving your network.

    1,000+ models  ·  15 languages  ·  247 PII checkpoints  ·  100% on-device  ·  Apache-2.0

    OpenMed runs entirely on the device — clinical text never leaves it. Here it is on iPhone, fully offline:

    On iPhone via OpenMedKit — scan a clinical note, de-identify it, and extract clinical signals, all locally with Apple MLX. Nothing is uploaded.

    Real-time PII de-identification — the Nemotron Privacy Filter redacting names, addresses, IDs, and billing data from a clinical discharge packet, entirely on-device. (All values shown are synthetic.)

    A state-of-the-art clinical NER model running locally — no API key, no network call.
