Medical note anonymiser

Anonymise medical notes before AI summarisation.

Use SanitiseAI to prepare referral notes, appointment summaries, and clinical admin text by replacing patient names, dates of birth, NHS-style numbers, contact details, and addresses.

What to check for

  • Patient names
  • DOB and health IDs
  • Clinician contact details
  • Home addresses

What to preserve during review

  • Clinical topic
  • Symptoms and next steps
  • Non-identifying chronology
  • Structured placeholders

In practice

A worked example

Synthetic input and expected readable output. This small example demonstrates one replacement, not complete coverage. Try it in the tool and review the result.

01 / Source text

Appointment admin: send the rescheduling instructions to patient@example.com. A follow-up appointment is requested.

02 / Expected output

Appointment admin: send the rescheduling instructions to [Email 1]. A follow-up appointment is requested.

Follow the workflow

  1. Use synthetic text for evaluation. For real records, first confirm that your organisation permits this external processing service.
  2. Submit only the minimum necessary excerpt, excluding unrelated history.
  3. Review indirect identifiers and clinical meaning before any further sharing.

Put the workflow into practice.

Start with an example. Review every result before sharing.
