POPIA compliance sits at the centre of that. South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act applies to any practice that processes patient information, including health records, consultation notes, billing details, and appointment histories. When AI handles that information, the practice still carries full legal responsibility.
As doctors and patients increasingly rely on digital helpers, one question arises above all: How secure are AI Health Assistants? Whether you’re a provider using them to capture AI clinical notes, streamline AI Medical Billing, or monitor patients at home, understanding the risks and safeguards is essential.
