Protect Patient Data From AI Exposure

Healthcare teams handle the most sensitive data on the internet. One copy-paste into ChatGPT could breach HIPAA compliance, expose your organization to fines, and shatter patient trust.

The HIPAA Violation Cost

A single HIPAA violation can cost $100–$50,000 per incident

And that's before reputational damage, patient lawsuits, or notification expenses. When healthcare staff use consumer AI tools to speed up documentation, they routinely paste patient records, contact information, and Social Security Numbers into platforms with no HIPAA coverage whatsoever.

Real-World Scenario

The Accidental HIPAA Violation

Well-intentioned shortcuts become compliance incidents in seconds.

A hospital intake coordinator is overwhelmed with paperwork. To save time, they copy a patient intake form — including their Social Security Number, phone number, and email address — into ChatGPT to help draft a summary letter. Within seconds, the AI vendor has the data.

Months later, a data broker discovers it in a leaked dataset and files a HIPAA complaint. What started as a 10-minute shortcut has become an incident that ripples across the entire organization.

What follows

  • $10,000–$50,000 OCR fine per violation
  • Notification costs of $50–$500 per affected patient
  • Lawsuits from affected patients
  • Reputational damage and lost patient trust
  • Mandatory remediation plan and OCR audit

What KanActive Detects

Detects identifiers that expose patients

KanActive AI Lite scans for the personal identifiers most commonly pasted into AI tools — before they reach any AI platform.

🔢

Social Security Numbers

Catches SSNs in standard and hyphenated formats — a common field in patient registration and billing records.

🏥

National Provider Identifiers

Flags NPI numbers that identify individual providers and organizations — common in clinical documentation and referrals.

📞

US Phone Numbers

Detects patient and provider phone numbers in standard US formats across intake forms, notes, and correspondence.

✉️

Email Addresses

Catches email addresses that can identify patients or staff when included in clinical summaries or communications.

How It Works

Three steps. Zero friction.

KanActive AI Lite runs silently in every browser. No training, no configuration, no IT overhead.

1

Install the extension

Add KanActive AI Lite to Chrome or Edge from the browser store. One click — no account, no email, no onboarding flow.

2

Work normally

Staff use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini as they normally would. The extension monitors prompt inputs in real-time, invisibly.

3

PHI is blocked before it sends

Detected patient data is flagged and blocked before submission. The original content never leaves the browser or reaches any AI server.

The business case is simple

One HIPAA breach costs more than years of protection. KanActive AI Lite is free — and takes under 30 minutes to deploy across your entire organization.
