What is privacy-by-architecture in healthcare?

It's designs where patient data never moves—insights compute in place via techniques like secure enclaves or homomorphic encryption.

Does HIPAA block AI in hospitals?

No—HIPAA blocks data movement, which current AI architectures require. Privacy-by-arch sidesteps this.

Can small hospitals use federated learning safely?

Partially, but gradients leak info. True privacy-by-architecture eliminates that risk entirely.
