Is Alethea approved by Health Canada?
Alethea's eConsult functionality does not require Health Canada authorization as a medical device. Alethea also includes optional AI-assisted diagnostic decision-support functionality. This AI functionality is intended to support healthcare professionals and does not replace clinical judgment or make autonomous clinical decisions. Alethea is currently reviewing the applicable Health Canada medical device classification and regulatory pathway for this functionality.
Has Alethea completed a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)?
Alethea maintains privacy and security documentation to support healthcare organizations implementing the platform across different Canadian jurisdictions. As an Information Manager/service provider, Alethea supports physicians and clinics with the documentation and information needed to complete their applicable privacy assessment requirements. Where a PIA is required, the healthcare custodian or implementing organization remains responsible for completing and, where applicable, submitting its PIA in accordance with the requirements of its jurisdiction.
Are patient images in the Alethea AI database secure?
Yes. Images in Alethea's AI database are securely stored in Canada and protected using the same privacy and security safeguards applied across the Alethea platform. Images used for AI development are de-identified and stripped of patient-identifying information and metadata before being included in the AI database. Access is restricted to authorized personnel.
