On-premise AI for hospitals and healthcare
Healthcare is the sector where AI is most needed and where data can leave the least. An on-site AI data center brings AI-assisted diagnostics, report dictation and record summarization without patient data ever leaving the hospital.
Why on-site, why off-grid.
- Health data is special-category data (Art. 9 GDPR): entrusting it to a foreign cloud service requires legal bases, assessments and transfer safeguards.
- A physician spends on average 13 hours a week on indirect activities such as documentation.
- AI-assisted diagnostics is already used in 74% of EU states, but the data should not leave the hospital.
- health data (Art. 9 GDPR) that must not leave the hospital
- the European Health Data Space (EHDS, Reg. 2025/327) applies to primary use from 25 March 2027
- law 132/2025 leaves the final decision to the doctor and requires informing the patient
- AI-assisted reading of exams and screening — in the randomized MASAI trial (Sweden, 105,000 women) AI cut radiologists’ reading workload by 44% and increased detected cancers by 29%
- dictation and drafting of reports and discharge letters — in a UCLA study of 238 physicians documentation time fell by 9.5%
- patient record summarization
- triage of patient messages
Sovereign by design.
- Open medical models (MedGemma, MedASR) and general models with a commercial license, installed on site.
- Health data that never leaves the hospital perimeter.
- Own energy: the system keeps working during a blackout.
Size it. Then verify it
with a feasibility study.
Questions people ask.
01Can ChatGPT be used with patient data?+
Health data is a special category (Art. 9 GDPR). With a foreign cloud service you need legal bases, assessments and transfer safeguards. An on-site model avoids the transfer, but a DPIA is still required.
02Which AI models can be installed in a hospital?+
MedGemma, MedASR and general open-source models with a commercial license. They are not certified medical devices: they support staff, they do not replace clinical decision-making.
03How much does an AI server for a hospital cost?+
It depends on users and processes. Use the configurator to get the order of magnitude for load, GPUs, models and cost.
04What changes with the EHDS in 2027?+
From 25 March 2027 the EHDS rules on the primary use of electronic health data apply. You need your data organized and under control.
