Encrypted Medical Records

Encrypt every patient record once. Doctors see only what they need — enforced by the keys each role holds, not by policy alone.

The problem to solve

Hospital access controls are policy-based: IT decides who can see which fields, role-based access lists govern who reaches which records. Policy can be overridden, misconfigured, or socially engineered. Once a clinician has access, today's systems hand them the whole record — including the fields they don't need. The privacy of every patient depends on the strength of the weakest IT policy.

The solution it enables

Polymonial encrypts every record field-by-field. A cardiologist sees only the cardiology fields. Billing sees only the cost fields. A patient's psychiatric history, HIV status, and genetic markers stay encrypted unless a key for those fields has been issued. Access follows the keys each role holds, not only IT policy.

What it looks like

A hospital encrypts every patient record with Polymonial. When a cardiologist needs to see a patient's heart data, they receive access to only the cardiology fields. The patient's psychiatric history, their HIV status, their genetic markers — all remain encrypted. Access is enforced by the keys each person holds, not only by IT policy.

“A policy can be misconfigured. A key has to be issued. Your HIV status stays encrypted unless someone has been given the key to it.”
