What is medical data annotation?
Medical data annotation is the process of labeling and categorizing medical data (such as images, text, or videos) to make it understandable for AI and machine learning systems. This includes identifying anatomical structures, classifying abnormalities, and annotating clinical notes to train AI models for medical diagnosis and research.
What types of medical data do you annotate?
We specialize in annotating various types of medical data including:
- Medical Imaging: X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and pathology slides
- Electronic Health Records (EHR): Clinical notes, lab results, and patient data
- Biological Science Data: Genomic data, protein structures, and cellular processes
- Drug Discovery Data: Chemical structures, molecular interactions, and clinical trial data
How do you ensure data security and privacy?
We implement multiple layers of security to protect your medical data:
- HIPAA-compliant data handling procedures
- End-to-end encryption for data in transit and at rest
- Read-only access to your cloud storage (AWS/Azure)
- Secure authentication and access controls
